About
Founded in 2019 by Darick and Emily Ritter, Sequential Potential Comics creates custom comics and illustrations for scientists, researchers, and organizations to explain and share their research through the amazing medium of comics!
Comics serve as a universal language to convey important information, drive understanding, and motivate people to act upon an idea.
Our mission is to help all people understand the processes and evidence of rigorous research and connect those findings to their own lives.
We entertain, instruct, and inspire.
