Sequencing of events in comics

There are many ways to set the order of scenes in a story. 

First is Simple Chronology in which events are arranged in their order of occurrence in time. Majority of Indian Comics fall under the category of simple chronology. 

Second, the evergreen Flashback method in which past events are focused usually following simple chronology and we see story of present in patches. 

Third....Plot Mix...under this category sub plots flow parallel with each other and the main story. They almost always have some discreet connection and may meet somewhere. Multistar Comics, two in one comics, are examples of this category....though there are some exceptions in Multiple Main Lead Characters Series. 

Fourth, Jumbled Events, following no order whatsoever...till the end when everything falls in place....it's quite challenging for a writer and new, refreshing for readers. Though, these scenes are jumbled but the climax makes every event....and this order meaningful. 

Aap bhi agar kisi sequence pattern ko samjhe to yahan sabke saath share kijiye.
