So I'm almost there now. With this post the page will finally look like a proper one - due to blog module not displaying it in the same way when you have less than 2 posts. I've managed to fix the social bar to  the central position and am working on backgrounds for the Of Gods and Men comic. Then the front page will more or less be set.

Then the real work finally begins. If all goes well this should probably be in the next week.
