Obviously good art gets your attention, draws you in.
Comics are mainly a visual medium, via the illustration, otherwise without the art and just a narrative it's a novella etc not a comic.
With great art, even the crappiest story / plot can (mostly) be bearable.
But, as the saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", if you’re not into the art in the first place then you’re not even going to bother to give the story / plot a chance generally.
There are artists whose stuff I just don't bother with at all because their art just does not appeal to me.
While there are artists whose works I'm pretty much obsessed with, so even a crap plot can be tolerated if the art is having the right reaction.
I agree partly with kurogari, that most plots that appear via Dofan etc comics are rehashed BDSM themes over and over - abduction, rape, sex slavery, torture etc and that the genre can be limiting. But using historical, sci-fi, pop culture, geopolitics, horror, etc themes can and do provide some interesting plots at times, I find. But hey, at the end of day it's comic porn, not Shakespeare, Tolstoy, H.G Wells etc, so what do you expect?
Hey just my two cents worth, and as they say "different strokes for different folks" (and yes that is a fap pun....lol!)
