I've gotten though "Act 1". I would like to find someone to help me figure out the best way to continue on from here. I'd like to bounce ideas on how to visualize scenes, and help me edit the script as needed.

One thing I'm not clear about, possibly due to the wording of your subject line -- are you trying to write the script, or have you written the script and are now adapting it into a graphic novel?
Depending on your answer I might suggest this thread be moved into Screen Writing forum, or Comic Books and Graphic Novels forum.
If you haven't already done so, you might consider reading screenplays in the same genre. Check out the screenwriting tips sticky thread in Screen Writing forum, which has links to sites full of scripts free to read for educational purposes, screenwriting software (some free or useable in demo mode), formatting guides, hints & tips, etc. Sites like imSdb.com offer scripts grouped by genre, e.g. Sci-Fi for easy search. There are threads in Comic Books and Graphic Novels forum with links to sites with comic script samples, tho' not anywhere as extensive as screenwriting sites.
