The "guide" is not a guide on how to read a comic book, it's an overview of *this* comic book's aim and characters, which makes reading it quite simple. But you'd have known that had you actually read it. The clutter, as I see it, is that there is far too little screen (the screenshots are too small), which makes the text overpowering. You don't want that. A comic book is a pictorial story, and yours has more space taken up by word squares than visual candy. A simple way to tackle this would be to make more pages, with less word squares on each. A very few of your pages illustrate this -- first and second page of comic 1 for example -- but most fall into the trap. Another thing you should try to avoid is left justifying all of your text squares. If Will is standing on the right of the screen, place his text over there, even above or under him. Regimented left justified text is a sure off-putter.
