I've maintained two webcomics, and I once had a disposition just like you about criticism. I know how easy it is to take it personally, the awful things people say because you can't see their face and they can't see yours. I once found myself in an entire thread of people bashing the shit out of my first comic. And for an afternoon I raged and fretted, but then I got over it, because haters gonna hate, you can't change their minds, just ignore them and focus on the positive. I had a lot of really loyal and vocal fans of my comic and that always cheered me right up.
As others have said, you can't please everyone, and people will always want different things from you. Take criticism but don't change for them. I once changed the end of a chapter because someone rightly pointed out that one of my characters wasn't reacting to an event in a believable manner, so I took it to heart, but couldn't do much for the people who wanted to see more focus on this character instead of that one, because that would have derailed my plot.
It's not going to be awesome right off the bat. Webcomics are a learning process. Look at the very first page of almost any webcomic and tell me its as good as the most recent page. With practice you'll get better- just like with practice, you'll get better at deflecting flames and cruel words (though heres hoping you won't have to do too much of that!). A thicker skin will grow. Just remember you're drawing it because you love the story and you love the characters and you love your fans. and fuck everybody else! Go for it, theres not a thing in the world stopping you!
