How are you handling two-page spreads in the digital age?

How are you handling two-page spreads in the digital age?

Hey everyone,

I'd love to hear how you handle two-page spreads when it comes to digital formats. When writing my comic, I'm always thinking with a "print-first" mindset, as I love a good double-page spread for making a massive story beat stand out.

But digital platforms aren't really built for a two pager - I'm using Global Comix, and only 20% of my readers are viewing by double pages.

So how do you approach this? Do you completely avoid digital spreads now? Do you cut it into two pages and make sure the lettering strictly flows page to page so it cuts cleanly? Or do rotate the page so it fits in a single page and make the reader rotate their screen?

Link to my comic in case anyone's curious to see what it looks like in Global Comix:

Just dropped Issue #2 of my fantasy comic, Fortune. Here's a look at the first few pages!

Excited to share that Fortune#2 is out on Global Comix
Jason Brown from midlifegamergeek.com reviewed it as:
"an exciting read, and the artwork is very well done, with some great action, along with some terrifying moments..."

To frame or not to frame - what's your preference?

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on whether they find frames better or worse for their reading experience - I'm in two minds, especially as my lettering style tends to mean that balloons don't always line up nicely in a panel.

Looking for an inker for a poster

Hi all,

I have a website header/poster that I would like inked - would love to see your work and hear what sort of prices you typically charge :) Please share in this post rather than DM me. I'll DM you further if I think we could work together :)

Thanks!
