Allybee:
in my opinion...

1. art is as important as storytelling. a really great comic should have great art and great writing and they should work in tandem.
2. draw from life, not from references. it'll help you understand how anatomy actually works so you'll be able to figure it out rather than having to copy a picture. take a life drawing class. it'll benefit your artwork immensely.

GroovyKinda:
All good advice, and some great reference links.
I think The Seldom Killer said it best. If you want to draw comics, draw comics. Yes, learn to draw, and draw what you see. But the most important thing is the storytelling. If the art supports the story; if it adds to the story, then it's good, even if it's stick figures.
You're good enough to draw comics. And you'll be surprised how fast your art improves when you draw panel after panel.

pwhodges:
You realise that you're talking to someone who isn't here...?

Carl-E:
...anymore. 

It's still good advice, though.
