Agreed. As-is, while the drawing is fairly strong, the composition is far too simple.
/u/FatherJTodd, every panel in this page puts the subject in the center of the page in a straight-on shot (one shot is from the 'side' but the camera is still at the same level). While this means the story is understandable, it's also very 'wooden' and somewhat devoid of drama; there's so much more you could be doing with composition to give this page some life.
Compare your page to what Tradd Moore does in Luther Strode. Tradd is a master of dynamic comic composition-- he varies the size and shape of the panels, the "camera" angle, the location of the subjects within the panel, and the amount of black to create a visual feast for the eyes.
That's not to say you have to immediately start going crazy like Tradd does... but you should definitely start thinking about composition more. Check out Wally Wood's 22 Panels that Always Work for ideas of how to change up composition, and buy/read Marcos Mateu-Mestre's fantastic book Framed Ink for a more in-depth explanation of composition for graphic communication.
That's great to hear -- I'm really glad it's helping out.
I also find his "How to Draw" and "How to Render" books hugely valuable, as well.
