Hey Monkey ur ideas are fascinating. I am no writer or anything so i dont want to crit too much. just a couple of things which i think might help :)
check out storymind on youtube goes into like archetypes and char development and stuff :) really really cool stuff.
Also i think one thing that i got from watching the walking dead (the guy that plays rick) said " i wanted every decision, action to cost him"
Now it seems that u have a gone for a tragedy story (that i love). I think maybe u need to make the deaths in the story really cost the reader, like when they die they are such an essential part of the story that a part of the reader dies as well. cos they(us) identify with these chars and it hurts to see them go. Maybe they can go out heroically? (saving another member) maybe they can go out shamefully, (betraying the group etc) This way u can make the deaths really impact the story and make the comic carry a lot more weight.
Great stuff tho, i love the idea.
