 Looking at a graphic novel's perspective on things, sequence is number one priority. The same applies with comic books and all that related genre of storytelling.

 The image above is from the graphic novel Godspeed: The Kurt Cobain Graphic. It illustrates the life and troubles of Kurt Cobain through various sequencing techniques. For example in the image above, it portrays him as a child with his imaginary friend. It displays a brief montage of some of his childhood. Montages are used a lot in films to express emotions and messages. The montage above represents Cobain's short period of happiness and with it carries a strong sense of foreboding.
