Remember to use your rubric!
You need a variety of textual devices:
Captions

Tell one thing you really like.
Ask one clarifying question to help make the work better.
Give one suggestion to add something new (in the story or in the graphics).

Use your graphic novel project checklist to see where you are currently.
What is one thing you know you have done really well so far?
What is one thing you will work on today to make better?
What is one thing you might need some help with?
