It depends on the story you want to tell. If you're writing a comic, I do it in a script format because that's how they're actually written. Later, I draw out the frames and put the script's words in.

If you don't wanna do a comic and are focusing on writing an actual short story, by all means, do a narrative. But what you say sounds like a comic, so script format should do nicely.

As for storytelling... That's something you either learn from failure or you're simply gifted. Storytelling is a hard thing to pull off because you have to focus on how appealing the characters are, the actual plot, and making sure the reader/listener/viewer is invested all the way through. You have to plan ahead. My advice is also this: write a story before you focus on your main project. See how it goes, and learn from your mistakes, and then write another until you're satisfied with the outcome. Don't check your grammar until you're done writing, either.

I will recommend reading the genre you wanna work on. I've actually been incorperating more fantasy into my newest Emerald project because I think it adds to the plot and characters. That is because I've been reading Tolkien's works after wondering how to pull off proper fantasy characters. Thus I've done some revisions and have a product I think I wanna create.

TL;DR version: If you wanna do a comic, write it in script format, plan ahead, and make sure you understand the genre.

Unless, of course, you're doing this for your own leaisure, than by all means, go crazy and do whatever story for Marvel you want. Despite what modern comic writers think, there's tons of ground to explore.
