Comic example: Lore Olympus

Lore Olympus is a rewrite of Hades and Persephone, set in modern times. The comic actually recently rebooted and is being redrawn, so there's less out than there used to be.

Lore Olympus uses infinite canvas - the vertical kind that many webcomics use, especially when hosted on sites like webtoon or tapastic, which are built for it. The episodes are fairly long, space-wise, but it the panels are fairly spaced out in a way that makes it very fast paced. This is a section from the end of the second episode:







textures and lines (like the pink rosepetal splatters) are often used to create flow and guide the eye.

It's also optimised for viewing on mobile phones - the text is large and readable, and it suits a vertical layout (on desktop it has white space at the edges and you can't see all of some panels in one go)
(this is a phone screencap - whereas the above were zoomed out on my laptop)
