We’ve got some exciting updates as we continue building BLITZ Magazine! After the campaign, we took a deep dive into magazine culture, drawing inspiration from classics like Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Creem, Wizard, Deadline, Raygun, MAD, and more. Embracing the vibe of "go big or go home," and considering the incredible content we want to deliver, we’ve decided to upsize BLITZ to a larger format to fully showcase the creativity and rebellious spirit that we want the magazine to embody!
Originally planned, and promoted throughout the campaign, at a traditional comic size of 6 x 9 in. as an echo to the medium, we’re now shifting to a bigger size—either the classic North American 8.5 x 11 in., think Vanity Fair, or even 9 x 12 in., similar to the UK’s Deadline magazine. We're currently waiting on printer quotes to make the final decision. This larger format will allow us to better present the stories, art, and features the content deserves, offering more visual space for interviews, expansive galleries, and giving creators an even stronger platform to shine.

This change has undoubtedly added more work to our plate and adjusted our timeline, but we truly believe it's the best decision for the magazine and for you, our backers and readers. Our goal is to ensure BLITZ delivers bold, impactful content and provides the best possible experience!
With this new format, we're also expanding our contributors list by reaching out to creators across various media spaces who love the comic medium, and the endless possibilities it contains. Our goal is to bring a rich and diverse collection of voices to every issue. We want BLITZ to reflect the evolving world of indie creation, offering insights, inspiration, and behind-the-scenes looks from creators pushing boundaries in their fields.
Please stay tuned for more updates as we work to make BLITZ bigger and better than ever! We can't wait to share the final product with you.
