Visually, i'd go with what ZombieLoffe said - bright, noticable bubbles, without too much contrast between the background of the bubble and the border. I really don't see anything wrong with using circle bubbles though, just try make 'em more like an oval or wider, like in the Concerned comics. But this is all just personal preference.

There really isn't much advice you can give with comics other then make sure you spend the most time on it's humour/story and it's posing. Alot of a comics humour can come from the expressions characters and objects can bring about. Good luck with the comics!

System Of A Down - Highway Song

The road keeps moving the clouds
The clouds become unreal
I guess I'll always be at home
Do you want me to try
directing your night?

An exit lights the sky
The sky becomes complete
Traveling hearts divine, dethroned
I've forgotten to

Friction, lines, bumps
The Highway Song complete
The signs are all turning right
Do you want me to try
Directing your night?

It's just like the tentacles or other large monsters i believe, so it really just boils down to proper placement, and scripting (for it's death sequence, seeing as it's normally invincible). Though i could be mistaken, i only played around with it in Op4 mapping for a little while.

The weapons/hand's you see in-game are done with seperate models called either v_weaponname or w_weaponname, i can't remember exactly (eg. v_357). Look for them, you'll see only the gun and the glove, those are the ones you need to replace and/or reskin. The player model you've reskinned is for multiplayer, and the glitchy third-person camera only. :]

I expected much more from the G-man in Ep1 though...

It does say that the G-Man has lost control in the early descriptions.. so no more peep-and-walk events from him again, maybe we'll see an unprepared, more-worrying side to him?

I don't think it could be the same length as FEAR, and Fear is around $80 retail here. Then again maybe i think FEAR is much longer because of it's terribly droll and repetitive middle-section that just seemed to go on-and-on. :

If it were me i'd just give the player the HEV as he spawns into the level and disable the sounds, that way he has the hud and flashlight, and it won't seem like the player actually found and took the HEV suit.. otherwise i have no idea!

If it's in a mod, you could just replace the HEV voice sounds with empty files, that way you won't hear the sounds and have all the standard HEV features.

System Of A Down - The Metro (Berlin Cover)

I'm alone
Sitting with my broken glass
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies

I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier standing next to me
Riding on The Metro

I was smiling as you took my hand
So removed
We spoke in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now
Smiling as you pulled away
Sorry

I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the seine
Riding on The Metro

I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned, then walked away
Fuck you for loving me
Riding on The Metro

OMG! Entire lyrics ftw.

Orpheus is right.
Barney is loosely based of Don Knotts's character "Barney Fife" from The Andy Griffith Show. The earliest beta models of Barney were designed to look like him.
