Mass Effect 2 - Process of the Comic Artist

The author of the upcoming Dark Horse comic book for Mass Effect 2 has written a detailed piece on his process.  The article includes numerous examples of work-in-progress and concept art.  An early quote from Omar Francia:

As in all narrative adventures, this stage of the process starts the imagining, thinking and planning. Reading the script is one of my favorite parts of the process, because without any compromise, I can make a movie in my mind and fly with the imagination. After the first reading session, I go for a second one, and - with background music in the air - I start doodling the layouts of every page.

This part of the process is incredibly helpful to see if the body language, vehicles, prop positions, and the camera POV are well combined to show the action the way I wanted. When I have a complete sequence done (five or more mini-layouts), I stop to check the dynamics of the pages. If everything goes well, then I continue with the next!
