Space Scouts #1 is a solid debut that has me intrigued to see where it goes and what comes next. There's a solid look and feel to it all and the comic teases readers it's more than what's presented, there's something else going on here than just a contest. It's Kindt and Rubn, so it's not too surprising the comic is a solid debut. It's definitely a debut that's well worth checking out. Read Full Review

Plot
Ember lives on the rural planet Venatu. Her life is normal, but when she's called to participate in a space competition called SPACE SCOUTS, her life changes, and she now feels the responsibility to help her planet and family.

The SPACE SCOUTS are a group of exceptional beings, chosen from across the galaxy to become heroes and defenders of the galaxy. The winners of this competition help their planet become a kingdom and prosper.

These competitions are constantly monitored by cameras that broadcast the event on social media. Ember forms an alliance with Hermes from the planet Cumulus, with whom a romance begins to blossom.

Each participant has a special power; Ember's is to control light, and she possesses a privileged intelligence, which she doesn't know she has until she overcomes the challenges and is able not only to reach the top ten but also to choose her opponents.

An excellent start to a saga that blends science fiction with action, with intriguing touches of mystery that introduce us to this vast universe.

Art
The art is highly detailed, successfully balancing science fiction with elements of a Western, all within a futuristic reality TV atmosphere. The facial expressions and body language are spectacular.

Summary
A new universe filled with mystery and action unfolds as contestants race to save the planet from a macabre game set in a distant yet socially relevant future. more
