All fiction needs character development, that is, if the characters are a big part of the story and the author wants you to care about them. Yes, comics are a visual medium, but I don't like it when people assume that the visual aspect of comics is all that matters. It's usually why I buy comics, yes, but if that's all there is to the comic, it's not a good comic.

Panelling and layout is more pacing than writing. It sets the pace of a narrative in the same way that a director sets the pace of a film

I agree that comics should be assessed on both their narrative and aesthetic merits. But I disagree that panelling and layout is just a matter of pacing. Panelling and layout are the essentials of what a comic artist works with; they are to the comic artists as words are to the novel writer.

C&P'ed from another reply: I think that visual storytelling is given really short shrift in discussions of comic writing. If, say, a webcomic had an amazing plot but the artist simply couldn't convey an action sequence in a coherent manner - because of panelling issues, not just art style - then I think that counts as poor comic writing. It's like having a novel with a great plot but awful prose.
