Scott McCloud has revolutionized the way we look at comics by showing the reader ways to get more emersed into a comic.
One way is to show the reader that there are things going on inside the panels, but make the reader invision what is going on between the panels. There are always things happening between the panels because they are pictures. There is only so much of a message that a writer can convey within a comic. Which Scott has shown that the readers can look for a sense of what happened in between the comic panels.
Another way is with computers, comics can be created on an infiinite canvas. So the way that the comic flows changed dramatically. Now comics can be told in a spiral or they could be told through a staircase pattern. You could now do a turn in a story that litterally made the panels change direction. This new jump in comics spawned endless possibilities.
