Project #2: Super Scouts
What it’s about: Twenty years ago, Super Scouts was a hit super sentai TV show. After decades of fame, reboots, and reunion specials, the show has taken a toll on its four original cast members who have since gone their separate ways. Each of them has built a new life, but Seth knows most of all that, deep down, they all still have one foot in the past. Seth, the former red scout, runs a Super Scouts-themed memorabilia shop, James, the former green scout, stars in the unofficial “adult” parody films “Sexy Scouts,” Meredith, the former pink scout, is a fitness personality, and Willie, the former blue scout, is the head of Scoutology, a super scouts themed “self-help” group that…looks a lot like a cult. When the group is reunited for a 20th anniversary special, the team must band together to confront hidden challenges, bad blood between them, and the ghosts of their pasts to unlock Super Scout powers of their very own and confront Lord Darkness. The graphic novel is written by Ryan Little (Prometheus, The Breakfast Bunch), illustrated by Bruno Oliveira (Deadpool, Amazing Spider-Man), and with letters by Nikki Powers.
