Scout Comics' THE WEST MOON CHRONICLE & THE GREYLOCK Are In Development For TV With Second Act Entertainment

by SCOUT COMICS Jan 31, 2024

January 31st, 2024 --Scout Comics & Entertainment has partnered with Second Act Entertainment to develop two Scout comics into film and television projects. Scout and Second Act will produce.

In THE GREYLOCK, by Eli Shockey and Atagun Ilhan, magic is a commodity. Potions are sold at corner stores, Orcs and Dwarves earn a living in cubicles not battlefields... but there are those who resist the Houses of Magi's laws. Branded a criminal and forced to live as a wand for hire, there is a spellslinger they call... The Greylock.

In WEST MOON CHRONICLE, by Frank Jun Kim and Joe Bocardo, The elusive creatures of mud and blood known as the dokkaebi live just off of Route 4 in east Texas, in the ancient pine forest known as the Tanglechase. Joon-Ho, a Korean immigrant with a shadowy past, and his estranged grandson Jae-Sun are the only people in the nearby town of Vane who know the true nature of the dokkaebi. Together, they must figure out what's causing the creatures to turn hostile. Perhaps it has something to do with the interdimensional portal at the heart of the Tanglechase, for it is from here that the past comes knocking, demanding a reckoning from both men.

William McKinney founded Second Act and is a former Development Executive at Intrigue Entertainment (MARMADUKE, SPACED) where he brought several international shows to American studios for adaptation, including DANGEROUS MOMS. Second Act's Brendan Vogel is an award-winning screenwriter and graphic novelist.

Scout Comics & Entertainment was founded in 2015 and has over 300 titles in their catalog. Scout books have sold to Disney, Amazon Studios, Warner TV, Rooster Teeth, and FilmNation, among many others.

SCOUT COMICS & Oren Segal's MPE Are Developing Hit Comic Series DISTORTED For TV

by SCOUT COMICS Jan 18, 2024

January 18th, 2024 -- Scout Comics has partnered with Oren Segal's Management Production Entertainment (MPE) to develop Salvatore Vivenzio and Gabriele Falzone's DISTORTED for TV. Kevin Carroll is attached to adapt. Scout, Segal, and Carroll will produce.

Tom is a private investigator and one of the Distorted. Everything changes for him when he's hired by Elisa, the head of a shadowy organization, to track down others like him. However, Brennar is hunting them down as well. The two will chase the Distorted like predators but never meet, like parallel lines, until one fateful moment. Meanwhile, James is a young man who doesn't know what he wants from life. He's trying to find himself but is forced to deal with his powers… and his flaws. When he meets someone like him, he decides to commit a robbery and start a new life. On his trail is Mason, a Distorted serial killer who believes killing other Distorted will make him stronger. And it is he who will bring Tom and Brennar together and force them to confront each other.

Additionally, Scout and MPE are continuing to develop Louis Southard's MIDNIGHT WESTERN THEATER, the story of notorious Red Tom and his deadly posse who have laid claim to the once prosperous town of Liberty Springs. But will these outlaws be able to savor their sinful victory when two black-clad, supernatural strangers suddenly arrive?

Segal formed MPE in 2011 and has produced the following films, DON’T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER’S DEAD (2024), A LOOK THROUGH HIS LENS (2024), THE CURSE OF DOWNERS GROVE (2015), #HORROR (2015) and BURNING PALMS (2010).

Kevin Carroll has worked in the story development departments at Paramount, MGM, as well as the office of Richard Donner and Lauren Schuler Donner. He graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 2017 with a degree in Screenwriting. In 2018, he placed as a finalist for a Humanitas Fellowship for his pilot script, LIFE’S NO FAIRYTALE. Since starting at Management Production Entertainment (MPE) in 2018, he has worked on developing several projects, including multiple comic book adaptations, on which he is attached as a writer and producer.

Scout Comics & Entertainment was founded in 2015 and has over 250 titles in their catalog. Scout books have sold to Disney, Amazon Studios, Rooster Teeth, and FilmNation, among others

Creator Quote

"It's always a pleasure to publish with Scout Comics." — Stefano Cardoselli

“It’s an honor and a privilege to be published by Scout! They are a tight-knit, grassroots comic book ‘family,’ who are truly passionate about quality storytelling. I could not be more proud to give BLOOD RUN a home at Scout, and look forward to more opportunities to tell my stories with such a dedicated group!” — Evan K. Pozios

Reviews/Testimonial

“ Very HEAVY METAL-esque, love it!

-Alex Sanchez (G.I. JOE, STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC)

“A visceral gut-punch! Like “Mad Max” meets “Death Race 2000” on steroids! Evan creates some wonderfully bizarre characters in a story as fast-paced and psychotic as the race he chronicles! And I can’t envision anyone other than Stefano pulling off the art for this: loud, brash and emotional -- pulling you right into the action – outstanding work! And to top it off, a nice twisty ending! And kudos to LetterSquids for flawlessly making the text part of the art itself! Great storytelling all around! Gotta say I really enjoyed "Blood Run"!!!”

-Nik Poliwko (SHUDDER, JUNGLE TALES OF TARZAN)

Everyone's Favorite Comic Book Detectives Have Returned! THE MAZE AGENCY Is Coming This December From Scout Comics!

by SCOUT COMICS Oct 26, 2023

The Maze Agency is back! The Eisner- and Harvey-Award nominated series by creator Mike W. Barr (writer/creator of Camelot 3000 and writer of Batman: Son of the Demon) joins forces with artist Silvano Beltramo to return to the world of everyone's favorite comic book detective team. Jennifer Mays, sophisticated New York private eye and owner of the Maze Agency and her paramour, Gabriel Webb, somewhat scruffy true-crime writer and amateur sleuth, romance, solve crimes and catch killers in fair-play detective stories that the reader is challenged to solve before they do! In their latest adventure, someone is stalking the set of a slasher movie series. Jen and Gabe have to figure out the killer's identity and true motive-before they become the killer's next victims!

"I grew up reading THE MAZE AGENCY back in the 1980s when I was in high school," said Scout Comics CEO Brendan Deneen. "I loved the world that Mike created, a kind of comic book version of Moonlighting. And the art was always spectacular. I never would have thought that I would be publishing the latest incarnation of this legendary comic all these years later. It's an honor and a privilege to work with Mike on this. He wrote some of the most iconic comics of my childhood, particularly CAMELOT 3000, which had a huge impact on me as a kid. This new MAZE AGENCY is going to thrill old fans and create a bunch of new ones, too!"

Synopsis:

The Maze Agency is a detective series, where the readers are presented with the same clues the characters are, and thus an equal chance to solve the crimes.

The main characters are:

Jennifer Mays: A smart, tough, and sexy ex-CIA agent who runs the private detective agency for which the comic is named. Gabriel Webb is one of the few people to see her softer, tender side.
Gabriel Webb: A true-crime writer who longs to create more cerebral stories than his sensationalist editors like. He's a little scatterbrained and easily distracted, but has a first-rate deductive mind. Although, he's romantically involved with Mays and helps her with many of her cases, he feels that the relationship makes accepting her repeated offer to join her business professionally inappropriate.
Detective Roberta Bliss: An NYPD homicide detective of Puerto Rican descent whom Webb and Mays often deal with in solving cases. She is sometimes annoyed by their tendency to complicate cases, but knows that they have the ability to crack murders that she'd have a hard time solving alone.
Ashley Swift: The head of the rival Swift Detective Agency, and Jennifer's former boss. She's a good detective, though not as good as Jen and Gabe, but her arrogance has a habit of rubbing her ex-employee the wrong way.
