Graphicly have an interesting article on reading double page spreads in digital comics. One of the best for me was when I started reading digital comics there was a double page action spread in a issue of ‘The Infinity Gauntlet’ which was full of action.

But there’s also a few elements from traditional comic storytelling that don’t always translate so successfully to the screen on your mobile device. Take, the double-page spread, which some readers find cumbersome and difficult to navigate on a phone or tablet.
We talked to three creators about the problem and how they’ve adjusted their process accordingly.
