A brand-new science-fiction, action-adventure comics odyssey by Ether’s Matt Kindt and David Rubin, that’s Big Brother meets Ender’s Game.

A young girl heads to the center of the universe to compete in a reality show to become the next “Space Scout.” What starts as a teenage drama turns into deadly war at the edge of the universe as the “winning” recruits are sent into a clandestine interminable battle that they most likely won’t survive. 

Bonus content includes character briefs and pinups by Sergio Aragonés, Brian Hurtt, and Álvaro Martinez Bueno.

Space Scouts is the latest release from Flux House Books, a new boutique imprint that will feature the writing (and sometimes) art of acclaimed comics creator Matt Kindt, with crime, science fiction, horror, and humor stories, all told and presented in startling and untraditional ways. 

Collects Space Scouts #1–#3.
On Matt Kindt’s Mind MGMT:

“Best first issue I've read in a loooong time is MIND MGMT.”—Brian Michael Bendis, writer of Avengers and Ultimate Spider-Man

MIND MGMT has got me for the long haul. If you are a fan of mysteries, if you are a fan of Kindt, if you are a fan of comics: pick this up!”—ComicsBulletin.com Five-Star Review

“Matt Kindt is the man. Superb series.”—Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

“Every step of [MIND MGMT] is as thrilling as it is original. You will be surprised. Shocked. Entertained. And if you’re like me, you will be desperate for more.”—Damon Lindelof, creator of Lost

MIND MGMT is the best comic out there!”—Jeff Lemire, creator of Black Hammer and Sweet Tooth

“A ferociously smart and brilliantly inventive page turner of a mystery.”—Scott Snyder, writer of Batman, Superman Unchained, and The Wake
