Scorpion-welcome to the group. You seem to have a great insight into webcomics. I on the other hand don't even know where to find the good ones. I'll have to read your post again, but for now my only response is on this one.
"story trumps art, hands down"
I have to disagree a little. I have enjoyed more comics with great art and a terrible story, than the other way around. Comics are obviously a visual experience. Comedy is the only exemption in my opinion. There is a certain level where mediocre art paired with a great story out sells great art with a mediocre story. But mediocre art still requires as much dedication to the fundamentals as great art. But without a foundation the story no matter how well written will fall apart.
