Matt Kindt + David Rubin scratch their ‘crazy 1950s Superboy’ itch with ‘Space Scouts’

The three-issue, magazine-sized series will begin in November.

Matt Kindt and David Rubin, who previously teamed on Ether, will collaborate once again on Space Scouts. The three-issue sci-fi space odyssey will be published through Kindt’s Flux House imprint at Dark Horse.

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,” Kindt said.
