Synopsis:
No one told Verity the Adventuring Intern that her first quest would be this bloody.

SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT & EX POSSE STUDIOS Developing NIGHT OF THE CADILLACS For TV & FILM

SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT (JAPAN) & EX POSSE STUDIOS Developing NIGHT OF THE CADILLACS (Published By SCOUT COMICS) For TV & FILM
 
 
SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 – As reported by THE HOLLWOOD REPORTER, Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) and Ex Posse Studios has announced that they are developing multiple Night Of The Cadillacs characters into TV shows and movies. 

Ex Posse’s vampire-themed Night of the Cadillacs centers on a member of a supernatural gang who leaves his crew to go on the run with a human woman. The studio hopes to build out a universe based on the concept. Ex Posse & Scout Comics are releasing a three-part spinoff, Lip Stick Cliqa, which will be the first adaptation worked on under the Sony deal. Development on that project would not take place until after the writers and actors strike end. Lipstick Cliqa is now available for preorder at your local comic stores and at www.scoutcomics.com.

“We are thrilled to have Sony Music Entertainment Japan onboard as a partner and collaborator,” Sean E Demott, CEO of Ex Posse Studios, said in a statement. “Their extensive experience and industry influence will undoubtedly propel the Ex Posse Universe to new heights. This collaboration represents an exciting opportunity for both parties to expand and diversify our portfolios in the ever-evolving entertainment industry.”
 
In the spirit of Lost Boys and WarriorsNight of the Cadillacs is a high-octane, genre-bending mix of horror, hard action, forbidden love, and street culture. Rival supernatural gangs come to earth on an overnight raiding mission to retrieve life-restoring blood from humans. While the gangs battle among themselves for prized Captives, a defiant and charismatic gangbanger breaks free from his crew to go on the run with a rebellious, 18 year old human girl to protect her from his predatory family.



Lipstick Cliqa is a fierce, all-female gang of shape-shifting vampire cholas, led by the fearless Morissa who expertly wields her trademark, razor whip. Morissa's most trusted and twisted cohorts are hard-as-nails Lil Snap and the towering Amazonian Daya. Morrisa and her gang hail from the barrio of East LA where they fight to protect their home turf from rival supernatural gangs like the Chamberlains and Kill-Town. Combining horror, action and street culture!

Castles Haunted By Ghosts & Swamps With Unspeakable Monsters? TALES FROM THE GRAVE #1 Is Coming This October From Scout Comics!

Castles Haunted By Ghosts & Swamps With Unspeakable Monsters? TALES FROM THE GRAVE #1 Is Coming This October From Scout Comics!


Logline:
Graveyards populated by the rotting undead. Castles haunted by ghosts. Swamps that hide unspeakable monsters. You will find these and much more inside Tales from the Grave!

Synopsis:

A debtor to classic EC Comics and movies such as Creepshow and Body Bags, TALES FROM THE GRAVE will transport you back in time with its aesthetic and language. In fact, like the silent movies at the dawn of motion pictures, the thirteen stories that make up this miniseries are silent and imbued with a rather black sense of humor that is sure to bring a smile to your face. But be careful… because a seemingly innocent laugh can camouflage an unimaginable horror that can grab you and plunge you into darkness!

Quote From Creator.

“Working with Scout is a huge honor for me. It’s thanks to them that I have started to have a “name” in the American comic book industry, and I can call this a real job. Having a publisher like Scout is the best thing for me because—working alone as I do (and as I want)—they leave me total freedom and control of my IPs. That said, if I have any needs, I can count on my editor, the graphic design crew, and all the other members of the team. What more can you ask for?” – Marco Fontanili

THE GREYLOCK Is An Outlaw Mage Who Is Offered Absolution If He Captures The Last Of A Telepathic Specie. Coming This October From Scout Comics!

THE GREYLOCK Is An Outlaw Mage Who Is Offered Absolution If He Captures The Last Of A Telepathic Specie. Coming This October From Scout Comics!



Logline:
A branded outlaw mage is offered absolution if he captures the last of a telepathic species. However, every mercenary, wand for hire, and killer with an empty wallet is after the same prey.

Synopsis:
The Greylock is an outlaw mage navigating a world filled with orcs, elves, and other fantastical creatures who all scramble for survival under the weight of the world’s most worshipped object—the almighty dollar.

A king’s ransom has been promised by many looking to capture the last remaining Mindwitch, a mage born with the abilities of precognition and telepathy. This hunt will put Greylock up against all manner of magical creatures as he is reminded that to those in power, the act of survival is often seen as an act of defiance.

Pull Quotes
Jarred Lujan (ATDAH, Dry Foot, Crash & Troy): The Greylock does my favorite thing: it takes high concepts, like fantasy and magic, and brings them down to our dirty little level. It’s full of characters that you want to know more and more about and sets them in a world of mysticism that Harry Potter wouldn’t hang out in when the sun goes down. This book is extremely, and unapologetically, badass. Sign me up for thirty issues.
 
David Hazan (Nottingham, Death Drop Drag Assassin): Equal parts enthralling and terrifying, The Greylock brings to life a modern-day high fantasy world that has all the bombast and spectacle of Bright paired with honesty and grit of the kind that only Shockey and Ilhan can provide.
 
Morgan Hampton (Dawn of DC: Cyborg): Greylock is like Blade Runner meets Dungeons & Dragons. Shockey and Ilhan drop fantastical elements into a semi-futuristic world that uses spellslinging and monsters to explore themes at the intersection of racism and classism. They are truly in their magical bag.
A Peaceful Town Is Terrified By Horrific Creatures In MARE HOLLOW: THE SHOEMAKER! Arriving This October From Scout Comics!

A Peaceful Town Is Terrified By Horrific Creatures In MARE HOLLOW: THE SHOEMAKER! Arriving This October From Scout Comics!



Logline:
 “Mare Hollow: The Shoemaker” is a horror-centric graphic novel, which combines traditional elements of gothic horror, with newer ideas of cosmic horror, and renders the story in an art style reminiscent of 1930’s Disney animation to play up the idea of a peaceful town, and cute characters, being perverted by terrifying, other-worldly creatures. 

Synopsis:
The Shoemaker leads a simple life, taking care of his cat, making shoes, and enjoying success with his business in his simple little home, in the town of “Mare Hollow.”  The only thing it seems he could possibly want for is love, but when a beautiful woman, Ida, visits his shop, he may have just found it. It would seem the bright and peaceful town could almost be a little slice of heaven, if only there wasn’t something about “Mare Hollow” that carried a forbidding darkness. After all, the terrors of ones own nightmares can only go ignored for so long.

Synopsis:
Mitch mixes comedy, science fiction and urban fantasy, with character Mitch as the anthropomorphic lead, juxtaposed to the seemingly realistic world of the late 90s. It's chunky Roger Rabbit with a bad temper meets Indiana Jones, set in a Sam Raimi's looking cityscape. This mini-series combines several elements from native American mythology, as well as “star people” (or kachinas) folklore, retold in an ancient

"In what is a usually risk-averse environment, Scout comics was willing to take a chance on me and Mitch, which says a lot about Scout comics and the people who comprise it. Bold publishers make for fresh comics and fresh ideas. All I hope is to give my readers a few new ideas, few new perspectives, which are essential for embarking on new adventures." - Maxim Šimić (creator/writer/artist)

"Working on Mitch was more than just a great excuse to finally do something with Maxim. Having lettered comics for comic artist friends, Mitch is my first work being published overseas. It was a big learning experience as well, working in another language, with a different lettering tradition. I am grateful to Maxim for having me on his project and to Scout comics for picking up this title. What do we do next?"  - Josip Sršen (letterer)
 

Reviews & Testimonials

 Maxim Simic’s new book, Mitch, a heady cocktail of folklore, sci-fi, espionage, and hardboiled pulp fiction, is literally like no other comic on the stands!  Funny, beautifully drawn, and dripping with a kind of unshaven, unwashed, hungover charm, it’s irresistible.  It kept me guessing, and I love that! - John Arcudi

“Just like Howie himself, this series is energetic, hilarious, and endlessly charming. Get it while it’s hot!” Mat Groom, writer of INFERNO GIRL RED, SELF/MADE (Image Comics), ULTRAMAN (Marvel Comics).

"I loved this engaging and delightful comic - delightful despite being largely about a murderous hell hound! Not everything has to be epically convoluted, and this book engages with believable dialogue and a no-messing pace. The characters are likable, and the art is charming, with very solid storytelling beats. Treat yourself!"
