More emphasis on action (especially bloody cinematic action), with shorter dialog is how it's done in comics, usually.

No. This is a graphic novel, not a comic. Write however you normally write.

Do you have an example of what you are looking for?

I don't see why you'd need one. Write whatever you want, however you want, as long as it follows the rules above, and I'll edit it if needed.

A great idea, Mindset, and a wonderful prize.

Alas, I've never been able to put together a short story, so if you see me submit something, you might want to find religion, fast.

I so want to do this but I don't have the time right now with the story I'm writing for creative writing and the history paper I'm writing for American history.

AHA! T'will be an interesting competetion! And an excellent way to waste the weekend to come.

Off to the brainstorm room!!!
