As people have said, some eyecatching cover/banner art is the first thing I look for. It should give me an idea of the genre and the tone of the story, so that I can see if it's suitable to my personal tastes.

Secondly, Which vibes the creatos gives off. Not that there's a one way you SHOULD act to get people to read your comic. I just think I'm more likely to read something if the creator seems like a decent, professional person who believes in their own story. You know, not praising their own work to the skies, but no self-depreciating even as a joke either, I just find that really draining lol

I almost never read the full synopsis I'll read like, one sentence, but it's just more intuitive for me to simply read the first few pages and see if I like it rather than read that little text. Maybe because comics are so much about the visuals, the description doesn't do a fair job of telling me the experience I'll have when reading it?
