* {{Textplosion}}: One issue pays homage to ''ComicStrip/PrinceValiant'' by being made in the same style. The art was laid out sideways, formatted like a Sunday newspaper strip, and the text was separate from the art, just like in ''Prince Valiant''. An earlier, acclaimed issue of ''Scion'' was formatted like an illustrated novel, with blocks of text, sometimes integrated with the art.

''Scion'' is a Creator/CrossGen comic series set on the world of Avalon, which superficially resembles a conventional fantasy setting, but with high tech instead of magic. The series follows Ethan, the youngest prince of the Heron dynasty, as he incurs the wrath of the Raven prince Bron and falls in love with Bron's sister Ashleigh, who recruits him to a movement to free the Lesser Races, genetically engineered slaves and servants in both countries.
