I've just come across ComicResearch.org. Looks to have many references that could be useful to you.
Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud may also be of some help for understanding the art of comics in general.
I would also strongly recommend checking out your local comic shop. Hopefully you have a decent one nearby. Any good one will have knowledgeable staff to help you out.
Most importantly, find something that YOU enjoy!
I had never seen Firefly. I heard about and watched the free preview of Serenity online. That was good enough to convince me to go watch the movie and support that marketing plan. I enjoyed the movie and even purchased the Firefly DVD boxed set later. Without that free preview online those sales would have been lost.
