Scout Comics announces their line-up for April release. The much anticipated (by me and many more on here) of Solar Flare #1 and several other comics are on tap for the April selection of releases.
GIRRION: THE CHRYSALIS AND THE STONE — VOLUME ONE
Written and Illustrated by Tom Lintern
Collecting the first five issues of Book One of the fan-favorite series. GIRRION is a sweeping sci-fi fantasy story of a hero’s journey in a distant time and world, in a realm called Gania inhabited by peaceful creatures known as the Gunflins. For centuries they have learned to harness the power of varied and ancient technologies from wars from a violent past until only one remains a mystery…until now. The saga is told through the eyes of Jarra, a poor factory worker who dreams of escaping his world of endless toil, until one day his deepest wish comes true, though not in a way he would have ever wanted, when his city is attacked by a dark entity called the Halodron. He manages to escape the conflict, but only to be thrust into a war of other-worldly magic and weaponry. This is a great jumping on point for new readers.
LITTLE GUARDIANS #1
Written by Ed Cho, Illustrated by Lee Cherolis
The new monthly fantasy adventure begins! The Zucchini Festival Part 1. LITTLE GUARDIANS tells the story of two young people switched at birth, unknowingly living each other’s lives. One was destined to protect the village from demons and monsters, the other to live a simple life working at the local Item Shop. In this first issue, the townspeople prepare for their annual Zucchini Festival, but strange occurrences plague the celebration. Thoom, the award winning farmer, suffers from blackouts where he becomes violent and uncontrollable, while Idem struggles with his guardian training and learns just how dangerous his Summoning Orb can be.
