Panels, Pages, and Scenes Oh my...

I'm fairly new to the system, played my first session this last Friday, and had a question about panels and such. From reading the books I had the impression that the game played out like reading the pages of a comic book (which is to say that the GM goes round the table and we run through what player A is doing, then player B, and so on till we got to the last player and thus the end of the page, at which point we start over).
However, when running through an Adventure with our GM that way of doing things only came up during combat scenes. Were we playing it wrong?

Nah, it basically functions like any other roleplaying game. When the order everything happens is actually important, then all of those panels and pages are actually relevant. Otherwise it would be run pretty free form. The only reason the games on the boards here still stick to that pane-by-panel action is because we're limited to playing it through a message board rather than in person.

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll be running a game soon and am a little paranoid, this being my first time GMing anything, so I'm trying to make sure that I get all the rules straight before I make a fool of myself.
