Sounds like a plan! I'm looking forward to seeing your storyboards. In terms of resources, do you have an idea of the technical resources that will go into making the site? Are there people or material resources in the building that you'll need to draw on?
Comics format question: your storyboards come across as taller than my browser - yeah, I know we're talking about scans, but I'm interested in your thinking about shaping comics content for the browser medium. There are some interesting experiments out there - McCloud has an insanely vertical piece, and eSheep some massively horizontal ones.
Those aren't storyboards at all, I've got those on index cards! I plan on scanning them sometime today or tomorrow and posting them up. Those were just mockup pages from when I was trying to do a print/web version...which I don't think I'm doing now.
