Scout's Honor Is the Ultimate Post-Apocalyptic Boy Scout Story

If you enjoy your post-apocalyptic stories with a clever twist, you'll want to keep an eye on Scout's Honor, a new comic from writer David Pepose (Spencer & Locke) and artist Luca Casalanguida (James Bond). This series is set in a ruined world where a fanatical cult has risen up around a holy relic from mankind's civilized days - a Boy Scout manual. The series revolves around a heroine named Kit - a woman forced to conceal her gender in order to join the Ranger Scouts and survive the harsh Colorado Badlands and the male-dominated society of the post-apocalypse. But when Kit uncovers a dark secret at the core of the Ranger Scouts, she'll have to risk her life and to reveal the truth to the world. Pepose is billing this new series as a mashup of Fallout, Mulan and The Handmaid's Tale, and it's not hard to understand why. Check out a preview of Scout's Honor #1 in the slideshow gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=scouts-honor-1-preview-the-ultimate-post-apocalyptic-boy-scout-story&captions=true"] The creative team also includes colorist Matt Milla (X-Men Blue) and letterer Carlos M. Mangual (Mystery in Space). The first issue features a main cover from Andy Clarke and Jose Villarrubia and a variant cover from Brent Schoonover. Scout's Honor is published by AfterShock Comics. The first issue is scheduled for release on January 6, 2021. Pepose also recently wrapped up a successful Kickstarter for The OZ, a limited series that gives the Oz books a dark, Mad Max-inspired makeover.
