The Story…

When the US President is assassinated by one of his own security detail, a female Secret Service agent named Bree Barto must protect the Vice President at all costs from a mass conspiracy by a group calling themselves ‘The Masses’. With nowhere to turn and no one to trust, these two women with completely opposing political views and beliefs must work together to preserve what’s left of American democracy.

From Writer Jonathan Hedrick:

I’m really glad this title will be published with Scout Comics. This is the kind of daring story they tell and they’re a perfect avenue for The Recount.

From Artist Gabriel Elias Ibarra Nunez:

I feel fortunate to publish with Scout. They have titles with fresh air and space for diverse stories. I’m happy to be part of this family.

From Letterer Cristian Docolomansky:

Working on The Recount is a dream come true. The plot is something I can relate to because I like politics, especially American politics. I can’t be happier working again with Scout Comics. It’s like coming home after a successful release with my other book, Zinnober.
