Comic Composition GeekoutSPECIAL GUEST STAR (against his knowledge) IS :iconandrew-ross-maclean:Comic Composition Geekout by *toerning
You guys know when I get really excited about art geekery, I JUST CAN'T KEEP IT IN.

In addition, composition for comics is extra hard because you have to worry about the overall flow of the page as well as the composition of each individual panel.
