Another thing I’ve realized about people who explore emerging trends in the comic industry:

they are often at the forefront of creativity and innovation.

This is because they embrace new storytelling techniques and technologies,

allowing them to engage audiences in fresh and exciting ways.

3️⃣ Missing audience expectations.

Some insights on crafting compelling narratives that engage readers:

- Start with relatable characters to draw readers in.

- Use a blend of humor and serious themes for depth.

- Keep the plot unpredictable to maintain interest.

Do this long enough, and you’ll learn these to be true.

Welcome to this new page for our comics!
Some of you may be asking, "What the heck is a Blind Squirrel Comics?"

Well, since you asked: Blind Squirrel Comics is an imprint of our long-standing brand, Xion Studios. Xion Studios has been around since 2000 starting as a graphics design studio, then a print shop, and eventually publishing. With new books and varied genres coming under our banner, we decided to bifurcate our publishing brand putting our more traditional superhero and related comics that are PG13-ish (and lighter) under the BSC imprint, allowing Xion Studios to expand into more genres, media, and maturity levels without injuring our existing customer base's sensibilities.

So, expect to see Spider-Squirrel & Trash Panda, GodQuest, Scott Fogg's Nightcare, Vito Delsante's & Sean Izaakse's Stray, The Fundamentals, Rook: Return to Sender, Bluechip & The NEW Teen Force 5, and more here courtesy Blind Squirrel Comics!
