Now that all the worlds have blurred, this would be a fine time to check out Scout, a comic published by the high-quality Eclipse line. Lately the storyline has revolved around a burgeoning battle-of-the-blues-bands in a near-future Earth—a future in which the United States has degenerated, if you can believe it, into a third world country. A dreadful turn of events, to be sure.
Most newsworthy, to this Bureau’s mighty gaze, is issue #19—it features a complimentary blues flexi-disc of two tunes~ "Double Moon Stomp” and "Blues Crusade,” both composed by the comic’s creator, Timothy Truman, and both performed by a group of Pennsylvanians know collectively as the Dixie Pistols.
Says Eclipse Editor-In-Chief Cat Yronwode: “We want to be sure that people understand that this is not a ‘dramatization’ of the story. This is the actual soundtrack—music to be played while reading the comic book.”
We want to be sure people understand that, too—and hope that, by applauding Eclipse’s canny move, the long hoped-for Circle JerkslAquaman product will finally surface.
