Matt Kindt and David Rubín are blasting off with Dark Horse‘s Space Scouts, a series the publisher likens to Big Brother meets Ender’s Game. The three-issue, magazine-sized series will include bonus content from Sergio Aragones, Brian Hurtt, and Alvaro Martinez Bueno.
“Space Scouts is dream project that David and I have had for a long time – getting to tell a story that centers around thousands of teenage super-heroes recruited to save the universe,” said Kindt via press release. “It gives us a chance to let our creativity run wild – with different super powers and aliens all tied to a competition/reality show. As a long-time fan of the crazy 1950s Superboy comic book covers – this scratches that inspirational itch.
“Working with David is something I will never turn down. He’s a generational talent – I’m happy to just be alive and working in the same era as him. There hasn’t been a visual artist as inventive and energetic as David since Jack Kirby. He channels that same bonkers energy without being derivative in the least – David is a true original.”
Added Rubín, “Work with Matt is always like going to a wild party; exciting, full of surprises, very, very fun and at the same time it is demanding and hard. Matt always brings me the opportunity to search new paths on my art, to play with the storytelling and made me grow up as artist. This is the third or fourth time that we work together, and I’m pretty sure that it won’t be the last.”
Space Scouts #1 (of 3) will be available in comic shops on November 5, 2025. Check out the synopsis and covers, below.
A young girl heads to the center of the universe to compete in a reality show to become the next “Space Scout.” What starts as a teenage drama turns into a deadly war at the edge of the universe as the “winning” recruits are sent into a clandestine, interminable battle that they most likely won’t survive.
