Post comics that are thematically constructed.
>Watchmen
It's 12 chapters and loops back to the beginning, like the 12 hours on the face of a clock, and it has this neat ticking doomsday clock on every back cover. Each cover is the chapter's first panel.

Asterios Polyp has a sleeve that is too small to cover the length of the book. Half of the cover reveals the cardboard interior.

300 is in landscape mode to better capture ancient land warfare.

Never knew about the back cover. Nice detail.

Here's one that comes to mind: Chris Ware's Building Stories is made up of a bunch of different formats to emphasize the fragmented experience of the story and characters living in the building. It's also a huge pain in the ass to read and store anywhere.

Another one that like is Jason Shiga's Meanwhile. It's made to be like a choose your own adventure book. The story gets pretty crazy and the time travel plot works well to mirror the cyoa rules since you're literally flipping back and forth rather than reading the book in linear sequential order.

There's also a nice easter egg reference to Edward Packard's Inside UFO 54-40 with the secret ending. You have to "cheat" by breaking the rules to find the secret ending because no story branch leads to it.

Both neat and cumbersome.

That sounds fun as hell.
