One thing that I feel could really improve your comic a lot is better panelling. I'm going to use this page as an example, but it can be applied to the rest of the comic. The majority of your pages consist of nine equally sized panels, meaning that you're giving equal importance to the events in all of them. But they are not all equally important: certain "big" scenes require bigger panels. By using bigger panels, you can get the audience to focus on what you really want to grab their attention. On this page, the establishing shot of the bodybuilder goblins, and Kimura's big moment, deserve bigger panels, which allow you to add more detail. A big comedic moment may also deserve a larger panel. Don't be afraid to draw bigger panels and mix up the layout occasionally: doing quarter page, half page, or even full page spreads can really emphasize a cool moment of the story, and it also prevents the reader from getting bored from the same panel arrangement page after page.
