Scout Comics announced writer/artist Alex Kmeto’s Junior is coming to comic shops in September 2022.
Young space Marine, Junior, and her alien, hippo-like sidekick, Walter, were caught off guard when they crash-landed on a dinosaur-infested planet. However, they were totally unprepared to find Junior’s long-lost mother safeguarding an ancient, alien artifact capable of healing any mortal wound. Junior’s father, a Colonel in the Marines, has been sent to collect the artifact for the evil corporate entity, “The Board.” Now Junior is stuck in the middle of a conflict that could not only destroy her family, but the galaxy as well!
In a press release, creator Alex Kmeto said, “JUNIOR is a culmination of everything we as creators have loved about comics for decades. We’ve made a fun, adventure comic with a soul. It’s an action-packed, character-driven story about the complexities of growing up, set against a fantastical sci-fi backdrop. Outer space, dinosaurs, ancient artifacts, booby traps, and talking hippos! A comic book created for the love of the comic book medium—Junior is an accessible tale that all ages can enjoy.”
Junior arrives on September 21, 2022.
