I was just looking at a comic layout that used a lot of negative space to build tension—do you think that kind of visual breathing room can actually pull readers deeper into a story, or does it risk feeling too sparse?

Negative space can be a real hook if you use it right – it gives the reader a pause, a place to feel the tension. If you overdo it, it feels like an empty page, but a well‑balanced breath can draw them in deeper, almost like a silent call to the next panel. Keep it purposeful, not just empty.

Sounds right—give the space a clear purpose, like a pause that signals something's coming. If you’re just leaving blanks, readers might think the page is unfinished. So keep every empty spot a deliberate breath in the story.

Exactly, every gap should feel like a beat in the rhythm. Treat it like a punctuation mark—an ellipsis that keeps the reader guessing, not a missing word. Keep it tight, intentional, and the page will feel complete, not abandoned.

That’s the key—think of each void as a pause that propels the next beat, so the reader is always on edge, ready for the next line.
