I think all in all, what matters is you.
Making a comic would be really good for you, esp. if you want to work in animation - the two are closer linked than you may think at first. In fact, I saw a tweet by a popular story-board artist recently who said that if you want to be a story-board artist you should start making comics as soon as you can. And lots of animators work on story-boards at some point.
The only real way to get really good at comics, and to understand them, is to make one yourself. Reading comics, thinking about them, and doodling out comic ideas, are nothing compared to actually sitting down and working on one.
Even if you only get like 5 subs, what matters the most for your future career is the positive impact working on a comic, even if it doesn't update often, will have on you.
