On Comicfury, pages where both sides are together use one pillar. Pages with them separate use mirrored pillars.
This page shows the Red and Blue groups united in the top panel before executing mirrored missions.

2 new pages from SHUSH-The Otherside. (CW: Corpse Burning, Blood, Violence)
Jim Harbor built the story around a mirrored panel structure. The Red & Blue sides are reflected before ultimately being united.
Ryan Tavarez executed the layouts to work as either a traditional comic page or a webtoon.
Comic art from SHUSH- The Otherside by Jim Harbor, Ryan Tavarez, Lex Alemán & Lunia García 1. That night, the Blue and Red rebels dance and feast around a bonfire. The Red Soldier and Blue Soldier embrace as allies and friends. 2. The rebels throw the bodies of the nobles into the fire and continue to dance around them. 3. Red and Blue rebels throw the golden treasure that the nobles had and melt it down in large furnaces. 4. A rebel worker hammers the melted-down treasure into weapons.

1. The Red Soldier, The Blue Soldier, and several Blue Rebels are now standing outside a Red Army basecamp. 2. The Red Soldier and Blue Soldier enter the Red Camp. The Red Soldier is holding a large bag with a wet bottom. The other Red Soldiers surround the duo and stand ready to draw their weapons. 3. The Red Soldier empties the bag.

SHUSH Update Time! This page of "The Other Side" really ramps up the tension. The rest of the story is full speed ahead.

The Blue Servants, who were carrying the couch, look at him. 3. The Blue Servants, alongside the Blue Soldier who is still holding their sword, surround the Blue Noble and take off their triangle masks. The Blue Noble lies on the ground holding his bleeding head. 4. Close up of the Blue Noble looking in fear at the Blue Soldier's sword, now very close to his head. 5. The former Blue Servants, now Blue Rebels, hold the Blue Noble down while the Blue Soldier grips their sword.

The New Page of SHUSH is out. Ryan Tavarez made sure the pages could work in webtoons and traditional comic formats. The half-and-half structure Jim Harbor designed melts away as the Red and Blue Soldiers come together in the pit.
shush.the-comic.org
Page 6 Unlike the other pages, which had the Red and Blue characters on either side, the events of this page are in a unified column 1. The Red and Blue soldiers fall from the pit into a deep, dark hole. As they enter the ground, the shadows darken them so you cannot tell which is red and which is blue. 2. One soldier kneels and holds their head in pain. The other offers to share their water pouch. 3. One soldier accepts the water and lifts the other off the ground. 4. As one soldier drinks the water, the other looks up towards where they fell and strokes their chin as they think.

One amazing thing about "The Other Side" is how dedicated Ryan Tavarez (www.tavarezart.com) is with the Shape Language.
Every aspect of the Blue Village is built to be angular and pointed, while the Red Village is round and curved. This applies to clothes, hair, weapons, and even wildlife.
Page 1 (The page is in two sections, each showing a different villager going through the same events) 1. A village next to pointed mountains with blue pointed buildings. Farms surround it. 2. A village next to round hills with red round buildings. Farms surround it. 3. Farmers with angular hats and blue triangle face paint work the fields with pointy hoes. The sun is high in the sky. 4. Farmers with round hats and red circle face paint work the fields with round baskets on sticks. The sun is high in the sky. 5. The blue farmers dig up blue pointy vegetables with triangle leaves. 6. The red farmers dig up red round vegetables with round leaves. 7. A blue farmer proudly holds up their harvest. They have a pointy ponytail and a triangular poncho with angular frills. 8. A red farmer proudly holds up their harvest. They have round earrings and a round poncho with circular frills.

To this day, Jim isn't sure if this page was meant as a Watchmen homage at first, but it sure came out that way in the end. (Script: Jim Harbor. Pencils: DaC Art. Inks: Chis Arieswendha. Colors: Lex Alemán)
1. Red Fist lies in silence on the ground. 2. A zoomed-in image of Red Fist on the ground. They are slightly older. This repeats for several panels, zooming further in on an older and older Red Fist, until... 7. Close up on Red Fist's wrinkled face with eyes closed. 8. Close up on half of Red Fist's face, with one eye open. 9. Close up on Red Fist's wide-open eye.

It's Bruce Lee meets The New Gods. starfist.the-comic.org
Comic book art showing Red Fist, a non-binary alien with glowing fists, fighting other aliens, one of which is a Golden Monkey. A sci-fi east asian temple is in the background alongside a Peacock alien, a rhino alien, and a panda alien. A logo says “Legend of the Starfist.”The words “Legend of the” are drawn similarly to medieval calligraphy. The word “Starfist” is drawn sharply and angular, like many machines are. The A in “Starfist” is shaped like a stylized star with an upward-facing flaming fist inside it.
