I used to read French comic books on Hoopla, my library’s online service. Their reader could advance panel-by-panel through the comic book page. Pretty neato. Don´t know if it was entered manually, automatically, or a mix of the two.
Variety is nice, but I consumed most of my comics via books, starting with Garfield.
I greatly enjoyed Dysfunctional Family Circus, and there’s always Gorefield, aka Garfield written by Lovecraft. Garfield was always a little boring, though–I think I was in second-grade at the time.
Have you delved back into the old classics? There’s a lot there. Sometimes it just takes a little while to learn what the comic is about–is enough to do when you’re exposed to it every day in the paper, but harder if you’re going in blind. I don’t really think of comics as greatly in need of innovation, though phone accessibility is a factor, I can´t think of anything that is better for being on a phone.

Garfield is a pretty good comic for starting out. I also have a pretty big collection of Garfield books. But they’re pretty boring nowadays.
Good to know there’s been some innovation in comics.
