More specifically, can I tell the story of the game, using screenshots, edited into a web-comic format? Would the story have to be original? Is there any variation of this idea that could be monetized?

Yes, you can use screenshots from a videogame to make some new piece of author work. Considering that the screenshots are also yours.
