Oh, not really. I mean, sort of? I agree with you; sequentials are so much harder than they look, and my consistency isn't great. But I'm jonesing to both tell a story and stick pictures to it. Monicawoe and I are working on a graphic-novel-esque retelling of one of her short stories; she's tackling the writing and breakdown into pages, and I'm ineptly trying to draw it. I don't have any aspirations that I'll be GOOD at this, but it's something I want to try. If I don't just jump in and blindly start, make the shitty mistakes early, I'll never figure it out. I may never figure it out anyway, but I want to make the attempt.
Snickfic is the queen of comics; she would have bunches of recs. Petite_madame is pretty comic-savvy too.
I can recommend a clever anthropomorphic noire graphic novel set called Blacksad. Now, I do NOT dig furries and that weirdness, but this one is so well-drawn and cool, you don't even notice that the 'people' have animal heads. http://blacksad-gallery.blogspot.com/
Eventually, I'd love to develop my own IP. I kinda don't care if it succeeds on any sort of level. But I'm always up to discussing aesthetics and story; I'm just not very widely read with comics. Might make for an interesting 'reading club',
"And this month, we read Becky Cloonan's Conan..."
