Unfortunately the horizontal strip requires me to flex a set of muscles I am yet to really develop. Thanks for the suggestions though, man. I've only been checking out a lot of old Fantagraphics and European landscape stuff more than anything else. Richie, I see what you mean.

I think the creators there make a strong go of making every pages WOW you! Also, the format is not too different from the old PHANTOM and TERRY AND THE PIRATE serial strips from my day.

I'm kind of approaching every page like a double-page spread, if that makes any sense. So I've ended up having to look into Immonen's USM and Leinil's Secret Invasion stuff. Bendis work generally lends itself very well to the landscape, I think. Thanks for the tip, man. I’m kind of approaching every page like a double-page spread, if that makes any sense.

Just make sure that the first three panels have kick ass drawings so the big lower panel doesn't immediately grab attention. One thing to consider also: The landscape orientation could be interpreted as half of a printed comic book page. I don't know what Zuda has planned, but do they intend on publishing in print some of this stuff? If they do, they would most likely put two landscape strips on top of each other in one page. It's another thing to consider when planning out your layouts. It's probably presemumptous to plan that far ahead, but I have no problem buying a plot of land where I'll be buried in one day (I have). It's better to be safe than sorry.
