Thank you to everyone who gave me feedback on the page layout issue. Feel free to comment (here or in my forum) or PQ me if you want. At the moment, it appears as though I'll be trying the horizontal/fit to screen pages for at least a little while. Just to see how it works. I'm also thinking that for chapter 3 I won't set a page limit on the "issues". I'll aim for something around 20 but if I need an extra page here and there, I'm going to do it. I went that way with this issue (that I had aimed to make 35 pages) and I liked how it came out in the end and the flexibility I had in storytelling.

metsuke – Thank you for the feedback. Going to print was never a factor in my decision though, the only way Divine Leap will see print is if some poor soul copies all the pages and prints them out at home for themselves.

Locoma – Thanks! I was a little worried about how that page would come out in the end. I was a bit frustrated throughout drawing it but I'm pretty happy with it in the end.

I am Candyman – I'm not really looking for print. I think what was holding me back is just being used to the vertical page. I've tried laying out a few pages horizontally and it's a bit of a change for me but I think in the end I'll be able to use the space more effectively.

And thank you to everyone for reading. Chapter 2 is complete (lettered the last few pages on the weekend) and I'm concentrating on getting chapter 3 going. I'm hopeful there won't be too much of a gap between them but for a little while I'll probably be posting character designs and teasers for chapter 3 until I've built a bit of a buffer.
