Hey, guess what, I figured out how to make comics work. It's very simple, See? Now you can read it in all its glory. Just kidding. In order to see the comic in its original size, click on the "thumbnail" to the left. This will take you to the comic in its original size. Once there, you click on that one "expand image" thingy. You probably already know this part: just put your mouse over the lower left corner of the image and the icon to make the "expand the image" icon appear.

Yes, but it makes you look at it longer, trying to figure out how to make it make sense to you. Giving the viewer an invitation to examine it in different ways is an element that makes for great art and brings out different things depending on the viewer.
For example, you probably assumed, before viewing it, that it was left-to-right, it didn't make sense, and knowing me, thought to look at it from right-to-left because of our manga influences.
Sorry, but I have to agree with Wil, it's not Magna style, which is readable because it was made by people who read from right-to-left, so it's structured in a way that only takes half a second to adjust to. However, YOU think right-to-left, and no matter what techniques you use, doing a comic in the reverse of your thought style is going to produce something confusing and disorienting that detracts from the storyline. The comic itself is not bad. In order to get it I had to load it up in photoshop and inverse the pictures. Even then, some panels were off, but not to hard to move around.
Basicallly, if you absolutly want to imitate manga, then you should draw it naturally in the way that your brain works and the inverse it after you scan it.
My recommendation would be to just do it western style.
