Banes at 12:00AM, March 7, 2024
As a long-time reader of comics, I've known that some pages can be less clear when it comes to the reading order. In the West, we start at the top left, of course, and the expected move is to read the way we read text - left to right, and ...
Time Stand Still

Time doesn't really exist in comics. Someone can blast through multiple pages in seconds, or linger on one panel for years. Well, that would be rare. But you see what I'm saying.
