Scout has distributed terrific titles such as Atlantis Wasn’t built For Tourists, Phantom Starkiller, North Bend, White Ash, The Mall, Vlad Dracul, Zinnober, and lots of others.

Keep A close Eye On Scout Comics As motion pictures are in The Works
There are terrific things on the horizon with Scout Comics. In January 2021 they are introducing their new kid’s line of comics “Scoot” geared towards younger aged readers. The upcoming stories include Unikorn by Don Handfield and Joshua Malkin. This title is already in production for a motion picture at Armory films with Debbie Berman at the helm. Debbie Berman (Black Panther, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Captain Marvel) will get her first chance behind the camera. With her extraordinary resume at marvel Films, Unikorn is sure to be one not to miss. Armory films Co-founders Chris Lemole & Tim Zajardos describe the film: “Unikorn has heart, humor and ultimately leaves you feeling inspired and hopeful, story elements which define some of our favorite films like Goonies, ET and The Black Stallion.” other new scoot lines are “Sengi & Tembo”, “Soulstream”, “Mapmaker”, “Wild Bull & Chipper” and lots of others in negotiation.
The best Is Yet To Come
The timing is everything as this distribution deal comes as Scout also has deals in the works with Amazon Studios and Disney/Freeform. Coincidence, I think not. With the form of the current comic market, Scout has positioned itself to continue having exponential growth in the future. 2020 seems to be the year of the new storyline and characters. The current speculation market is running crazy on every comment of a possible animated series, TV series, or movie. These are terrific storylines with major room for growth with the new distribution deal being signed.
