Feedback, Advice, Etc on Comic (not contest)

Hello you gurus out there - I have, after a long time thinking of doing it, finally decided to put my had into creating some CoH fan comics. I don't have the Comic Book Creator software, nor do I wish to purchase it to get the benefits - I do have, however, Adobe Creative Suite [I bought it for my business a while ago] and that has Photoshop in it.

What I would like critique on is my first attempt at layout / graphics quality / etc with the front page of a comic I am creating. I have used some filters and autoshapes to get it to look ok in my eyes, but I want to know what you all feel.

I saved the file as a high quality JPG and you can view it here:

Thank you in advance for any ideas [I will also be requiring some critique when I start the inner panels; for layout and how to create nifty skewed boxes].

Maybe try bringing the colors to their thresh hold? Or if you have a filter that makes it look like it's drawn and inked that is priceless. I have one myself and I love it.

Hmm, I will try that - I don't have much experience with the Thresholds and all of that, and I don't have any filters for making it look inked (well, not and have it still look good).

Thanks for the feedback

Edit:
I played around with some Threshold and other filters; It looks a tad more 'drawn' but I don't know - I think I am doing it wrong
