Thanks for reporting!

This is a hidden behavior of OpenComic, if it is detected that there are odd pages between the beginning and a horizontal image or between 2 horizontal images, OpenComic adds a blank page to match the next horizontal image.

For example in this case:

It becomes this:

I've added a new option to be able to disable this 97d8ecdde04c2a5c418440d8fbbf06496b16c8ba, as it can be unwanted behavior (The option is called Align with next horizontal)

If you want to try it, I'll leave you a build of the master branch.
