SCOUT COMICS Proudly Presents SOULSTREAM, A New ALL AGE SCOOT Imprint Title

SCOUT COMICS Proudly Presents SOULSTREAM, A New ALL AGE SCOOT Imprint Title

FROM SCOUT CEO, BRENDAN DENEEN:
As the CEO of a comic book company, I've seen many, many submissions over the years.  I open every single proposed comic book series sent to Scout with excitement... is this one going to be our next big hit? Am I going to fall in love with this one the way I fell in love with Marvel and DC titles back in the 80s when I was a kid? Even when we pass on projects, I'm always impressed with the time and care creators put into their work.
Even further, though, it's not often that I'm genuinely surprised by a submission. But when it DOES happen, it's a pretty great feeling.  
Case in point.  SOULSTREAM by Saida Woolf. 
It's a superhero comic book with a female protagonist.  It's stylized and cool.  It feels fresh and original.
Oh, and it was written and drawn by a fifteen year old.
That's no typo.  Saida is a high school student with talent to spare.  On top of being a... you know.. full time student, she also creates comics and came in first place in her 7th grade science fair, beating over 700 other entrants.
It's a privilege to announce SOULSTREAM and I'm proud that Scout gets to be the publisher who introduces Saida to the world.  When she's writing and drawing Black Widow and Wonder Woman in the future... when  SOULSTREAM ends up as the #1 new animated streaming show in the world... I'll look back and remember that feeling when I first opened the PDF that Saida sent to us.

Coming to Scout Comics in late 2020, SWEETDOWNFALL!

Logline...
When a ruthless crash test dummy turned hitman falls in love with a mermaid meant for his boss, the chase is on as he tries to save her life.
 
Created by Artist/Writer Stefano Cardoselli (Heavy Metal Magazine, 2000 AD, Planet Caravan).

 

The Story... 

Jonny is an old-model crash test dummy who’s been repurposed as a hitman for the Don Vito Coriaci of sprawling ocean bound city-state Santa Clara City. Jonny loyal and follows orders to the T, until his latest mission – when he’s tasked with bringing in a mermaid, a delicacy with healing properties When Johnny falls in love with the mermaid and decides to save her, the chase is on through crumbling skyscrapers and colossal cyber-angel statues – in a hailstorm of lead, breathtaking pursuits, and Mexican standoffs.

From Creator Stefano Cardoselli:

I'm a fan of Martin Scorsese's films and in particular of the movie, Goodfellas. I can't say that it wasn’t the engine of inspiration when I started writing and drawing Sweetdownfall. It's part of the cake batter of rusty cyperpunk and action movie that makes this series so special to me. I love that Scout Comics gives me the possibility to create freely!

COMING SOON FROM SCOUT COMICS, CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE!

COMING SOON FROM SCOUT COMICS, CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE!

Amidst the tranquility of a new earth, a boy uncovers an extra-terrestrial mystery that exposes not only the destruction of the world that came before, but the imminent demise of his own.

The Team...

From Writers Samuel J. Romesburg (Among the Willows,) Ben Roberts and artist Gioele Fillipo.

The Story…

Thirty years into the future, earth as we know it has been reset. The new age of humanity is about to enter its third decade. These new humans lead blissful lives unaware of the issues that plagued the world before them. Inhabiting the land known only as “Terra,” all of their needs are provided for by forces they do not know or understand. Bountiful crops seemingly grow themselves while electricity and running water systems remain miraculously intact and maintained without any human contact. All of this is credited to what the new humans have coined as “The Providers” - a divine and watchful entity, and the source from which all humans are created. Humans arrive on Terra as infants with no memory or sense of blood-bound family. On Terra, the humans are all children of the providers, and they live their lives accordingly. There is no hardship, no pain or suffering, and above all else - a mutual understanding that there is no questioning of any of it. All of Terra’s children abide by this code - except for one.

Daniel is the exception to the new world. Driven by angst and starved for answers, He has spent his life on Terra challenging the status quo and demanding more than what he has been shown. His days are spent searching for remnants of the old world, constantly piecing together a puzzle no one else cares exists. Armed with unfaltering determination and a hatred for complacency, Daniel sets out to leave the people of Terra behind in search for a life of Truth - however, the truth he uncovers reveals that there was never a chance of life at all. An evil is looming, and humanity is doomed to disappear once again.

From writers Sam Romesburg and Ben Roberts:

Children of The Grave starts as a slow burn mystery, but once that mystery is let loose the action erupts and violence takes over. Scout is the ideal home for Children of the Grave. This story is gritty and harsh and needs to be told as such. Scout has given us a platform to do so as we see fit and make this story exactly what we feel like it needs to be.

SCOUT COMICS IS PROUD TO INTRODUCE, MULLET COP!

SCOUT COMICS IS PROUD TO INTRODUCE, MULLET COP!

Using the cover of an all-you-can-eat buffet manager, a mall cop and his trusty microwave/supercomputer take on gangs in a futuristic mall.

Meet the Team:

Mullet Cop hails from writer/artist Tom Lintern of Girrion.

The Story…

FRED is a mall cop, but after a near death experience, he’s going undercover at as the manager an all-you-can-eat buffet. With the help of his coworkers and a supercomputer/microwave called M.I.T.T. (MALL INDUSTRIES TWO THOUSAND), Fred takes on gangs and corporate thugs, in an episodic series of adventures!

From creator Tom Lintern:

This story is completely different from anything I’ve worked on before— the art style, the tone, everything. Initially, it started with a conversation about moms in the 80’s and 90’s who went power walking in their nylon jumpsuits. I thought it would be funny to make a story about them being in a gang. Well, that’s how it started and now it’s turned into this. I honestly didn’t know how Scout would react when I submitted it but I was thrilled to hear they were interested in the project. I’m very excited to be working with them again!

May 7th, 2020 -- Scout Comics & Entertainment Inc. is proud to announce that WRETCHES, created and written by James E. Roche with line art by Salomon Farias and colors by Chunlin Zhao, is in development as a one-hour sci-fi adventure series by screenwriter Bianca Ursillo, with Andy Cohen of Grade A Entertainment (GIFTED) and Scout Comics attached to executive produce.

Still suffering emotionally from the loss of everything they'd ever known and loved, Shea and Sean have nothing else in the universe but each other. Forever outrunning the horrors of their past, they survive the only way they know how- by hunting and killing sentient robots for profit! Now, when the rough path that they had no chance to follow finally catches up to them, will they be able to keep each other safe or will they lose the only important thing they have left, each other?


Bianca Ursillo holds an MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU’s Tisch School of Arts, where she received a number of departmental awards.  She has worked on such shows as Audience Network's FULL CIRCLE, AMC's DISPATCHES FROM ELSEWHERE, and, currently, Neflix's upcoming ARCHIVE 81. 
Scout Comics Proudly Presents: IT EATS WHAT FEEDS IT - A New 3 Issue Mini-Series

Scout Comics Proudly Presents: IT EATS WHAT FEEDS IT - A New 3 Issue Mini-Series

The goofy teenage caretaker of an eerie mansion must ignore the monstrous howls coming from the attic when he falls in love with the home’s owner: an alluring older woman.

Meet the Team 

Written by Max Hoven & Aaron Crow (Fall Peak) and Illustrated by Gabriel Iumazark (The Last Broadcast).

The Story…

Francois, a stunning middle-aged woman, has developed a worsening affliction and needs a young caretaker to upkeep her lavish creole mansion deep in the mystic bayou of Louisiana.  Kenny, a teenage halfwit, looking for a summer job, happily falls right into her lap. Blinded by her beauty, Kenny accepts her offer but ignores the fact he’s required to slide raw meat into a slot on the bolt-locked steel-plated attic door he’s restricted access to.

As Kenny’s adoration becomes love, Francois’s health begins to plummet, forcing Kenny to learn the truth about her secrets before either of them is prepared.

From Writer Max Hoven:

Since Crow and I brought the script to Gabriel over a year ago, It Eats What Feeds It has grown from a fun little horror story to a striking work of art. Watching him bring these wild characters to life has been magical and I’m honored to debut the series on the Scout label.

From Artist Gabriel Iumazark:

When I first saw IEWFI's script, I instantly fell in love. It's a mix of everything I wanted to work with. There's horror, romance, and a lot of swamp. Scout is the perfect partner to tell this story.
