Matt Kindt and David Rubín re-team for Dark Horse Comics and Flux House Books new sci-fi series Space Scouts this fall.
This three-issue series will be presented in a magazine-sized format with 32 story pages and additional bonus content such as character designs.
“Space Scouts is dream project that David and I have had for a long time – getting to tell a story that centers around thousands of teenage super-heroes recruited to save the universe,” said Kindt. “It gives us a chance to let our creativity run wild – with different super powers and aliens all tied to a competition/reality show. As a long-time fan of the crazy 1950s Superboy comic book covers – this scratches that inspirational itch.
“Working with David is something I will never turn down. He’s a generational talent – I’m happy to just be alive and working in the same era as him. There hasn’t been a visual artist as inventive and energetic as David since Jack Kirby. He channels that same bonkers energy without being derivative in the least – David is a true original.”
Kindt and Rubín previously worked together on the comic series, Ether.
“Work with Matt is always like going to a wild party; exciting, full of surprises, very, very fun and at the same time it is demanding and hard,” added Rubín. “Matt always brings me the opportunity to search new paths on my art, to play with the storytelling and made me grow up as artist. This is the third or fourth time that we work together, and I’m pretty sure that it won’t be the last.”
Space Scouts #1 will be available at your local comic shop on November 5.
