Comics have one thing in common with science fiction. Real problems faced by every person that are solved within a fictional enviornment. Check out Neil Gaimen's newest series the Eternals or some of the classic 80's X-men comics. They both revolve around the issues of self discovery and self definition and how the two constantly fight and intertwine to define who people are and what there actions are.
As far as characters go, comic book characters rise and fall in popularity based upon the general mood of the times. THose that have lasted a long time, Superman, Batman etc. often change their personality based upon the times.

a hero who has character flaws, yet knows that he must always do the right thing. nothing makes a comic book better than an amazing writer who can keep you sucked in the story, and make you want to keep turning the pages to see what happens next. For example Green Lantern. Recently, they had a story arc that shows why Hal Jordan became Parallax, and his journey back.

Like all book, a decent story. But it also requires a superb artist working on it as well as maybe little seeds being planted into a series that takes a while to grow into a story of it's own.

We all know a bad comic when we see it. A story that twists and turns till it's up its own backside, one dimensional characters who you don't care about, very flat artwork - or worse - overblown artwork that looks like it was made for a poster and not a story. So the reverse is true for a good one, I guess.

A great artist, with very well rounded character/s, and a story that does not have to be great but at least good. Oh and many threads. Marvel use to do that have many things going on within the series itself.

The maker who has the gift of spinning up plots that would make readers dizzy (kidding); storylines that would make the story complicated yet inviting to be read; characters that have life in them, readers would not see just plain ink characters but people who are just like us and like a good cup of ol' coffee, it makes you warm and satisfied that you want to have another one.

I was more into the art, so I can't comment on the writing. But I think it's capturing energy and movement in the illustration. And, good use of black and white to make the imagery easy to interpret.

Well it's gotta have good art. It's also gotta have characters that you can relate to. Also the plot has to be original, good and gets people hooked. That's just my opinion.
