Needless to say, I am very excited that the book was picked up by Scout, and more excited that I would be able to pick up the future issues from my local comic shop. I have been talking to James Haick, and he agreed to allow me to run an exclusive 12 page preview (ten if you don’t count the cover and first page) of the story. Check it out below.
