When it comes to comic books, the screen size needs to be a minimum of 6 inches by 10 inches (its slightly smaller than a standard comic book but not by a significant amount). That way, it can accomdate an entire page without having to scroll around. Even then, sometimes scrolling will be necessary, such as in the last issue of the recent comic book series "The Blackest Night" where there is a four page fold-out spread.
Another factor is screen resolution, which needs to be high enough to clearly display detailed artwork. Even with manga (which is usually gray scale), although my ereader's screen is roughly the same size as a manga page the resolution isn't high enough to display the detailed artwork and lettering.
I think that when these issues are worked out graphic stories will become a significant factor in the realm of ebooks. This is something I'd welcome for the convenience of having my favorite stories in an ebook format.
