I hate it when I'm reading a comic, and the dialogue looks like stickers stuck on top to explain what's going on.

I'm not much of a plotter. I start off with an inciting incident, and in classic crime fiction what happens is that all the action flows from that incident. It's very comfy when it all ties up and feels like a complete universe, but my stuff doesn't always work that way.
