Composition is merely how you place elements on the page, but this is talking about using principles of design and the psychological impact that has on the reader. In theory, this is a bit more towards where one tries to lead the user/reader by design elements. One does this in website design too.
Once you go there, you are getting a little deeper than merely composition. (Which is using things like golden ratio and margin), but trying to dictate human behavior through things like use of negative space v. positive space and guess ahead of the reader where they will go next and use signals to tell them what they should feel through the course of reading your design. You can even do this through simple spacing on type--which is technically typography more than composition since type is an element, but how one typesets it is typography.
XD My design classes were useful for something. Tutorials 2 and 3 go a bit more deeply into design and the psychology that it has on the reader and *general* rules on what to use when... so once someone understands it, they can properly break it later. I'm working on tutorial 4 which will go into forced flow and changing the size of the frame with a similar action or sequence.

Your reponse leaved me astonished O.O thanks for the information (I guess I'll have to study more for making a better comic page). Until some days ago I used to make the pages by heart. Reading the other tutorials right away.
