The document describes six types of transitions that can be used between panels in comics or graphic novels: moment-to-moment transitions show small gradual changes over time; action-to-action transitions depict a figure performing an action through sequential frames; subject-to-subject transitions change the subject within the same scene or idea; scene-to-scene transitions transport the reader across significant distances of time and space; aspect-to-aspect transitions focus on different aspects of a place, idea or mood without progressing chronologically; and non-sequitur transitions lack any logical relationship between panels.
