Magic Square Comics - An experiment in storytelling

Remember magic squares? Those rows and columns of numbers which used to add up to the same total whichever way you counted?

I'm just fooling around trying to do the same thing with comics. Presented below is a comics grid, if you will. Each row and column is intended to work by itself as a narrative, like a mini-story. So each panel actually plays a different role in unrelated storylines.

This is a rough effort at best, but I'm interested in how far this experiment can be taken. I'd love to hear your opinions, and idea submissions.
