A key difference between graphic storytelling and written, is that the graphic author has-to/wants-to consider the key visual moments that are going to make for fantastic visuals. One of those is the "Oh Poop!" moment when the protagonist(s) realize that the impending disaster has just gotten way bigger than they planned on. Its a bit tricky because you want the audience to see both the unfolding disaster and the protagonists reaction to it. Two powerfully told web-comic stories are at that moment right now, and they're well worth seeing.
Check out Stand Still-Stay Silent, especially the pages leading up to http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=494,
and the look on the female protagonist's face as the disaster unfolds. Awesome!
Then open up Kyrie by CCAS Matt Crotts, especially the pages leading up to Ch2 Pg27-28. Again look at how you the reader, can see the unfolding situation and the character's reaction to it. Delicious storytelling.
It's moments like these when you can see that Graphic storytelling is way, way more than a story with pictures.

I love to read a book that has a good left page, right page flow. there is always something good when you don't know what is going to happen on the next page.
