These two were pretty successful, I like the first more than the second. I've seen books with 9 panel grids and even more... I'd love to hear some opinions on this sort of thing. Can I do more than 8 panels without things falling apart or becomming a puzzle? If 9, 10 ,12 , 15 panels are doable what would be the sort of scene, scenes for this? (I'm not going to do it just to do it, there has to be a reason behind it of course) Can a page say, with all sillouettes work ok in this comic? Will very small drawings work ok? (especially since a majority of the pages in this story have larger images. I'd love to hear some opinions

I like the first one too. It can be done, I just think it's harder to do. I've heard being able to draw small figures helps, because you can squeeze them into those panels.
It might work wonderfully with simple images. A ticking clock counting down, a stick of dynamite fizzing out, etc.
I like the first page's layout better then the second but they both work. Honestly I don't know if you would want to go too many more then 8 panels in a page because the start to either compress poorly or sometimes grow confusing. Almost as if there is too much information to digest. I would be opposed to seeing you try a page with more panels but I think that 8 or maybe 9 seems to be decent numbers to try.
Now this is coming more from a readers perspective since well I have very little layout skills for comics.
As a scribe (and a non-artist) who's written a fair share of comic scripts, it's something I've struggled with. I'm always like ... maybe I can squeeeeze in just one more panel.
