Try not to follow any cliches that have been done to death, the "hello my name is ______ i am _____ years old and i goto/do/work as _______" is really dry.

I'm not saying don't do that but you can write it/draw it in a way that has your style, for example.

"Hi I'm Aiden, I'm 15, and I go to Generic Highschool"

Can be instead.

"Aiden! Pass the ball!" Mark shouted at me from across the basketball court, we had a few minutes left and under our rival school by two points. Etc etc.

There are easier ways to introduce your characters that can fit the style and theme you're writing. Not every information needs to be given immediately and the reader can slowly be drip-fed information in an easier to digest way which also keeps the reader interested.

Other than that I've noticed a lot of artists draw chapter 0 to showcase their art and story a little, it doesn't really contain much information but tends to look like this: https://tapas.io/episode/1886512 which is just taken off the frontpage at random.
