Scout Comics announced the upcoming release of Catians, a tale of a trio of teens who team up with cats on a quest to find an ancient cat god’s powerful relics.
Catians is written by Cortney Cameron and Luyi Bennett, with art by Isaac Anderson and Rick Alves.
Cats have been disappearing in the wake of a ravenous monster borne of forbidden magic, and the Council of Cats tasks three teens with stopping the onslaught. Spirited from their homes in the Appalachian hills, Chicago suburbs, and California Bay Area, hardworking Riley, gamer Alex, and booksmart Sidney find themselves talking to cats in the Florida Keys, granted magical powers, and asked to save the world. Assisted by a motley cast of purr machines, from the stout-slinging King of the Cats to the falconry aficionado Master Cat, the trio embarks on a global quest, battling villains from real-life cat folktales in order to recapture an ancient cat god’s powerful relics. Along the way, they must cultivate their powers to control the elements, ally with a secret order of wizard-historians, juggle jobs, deal with parents, make sure the cat’s food bowl is still full…and maybe, just maybe, learn to work together.
In a press release, Cortney Cameron said, “Catians has been with me for decades, and bringing the story to life and to readers as part of Scout’s impressive lineup has been a true joy. Catians is a fun fantasy action-adventure tale, woven with layers of humor and lore while exploring themes like grief and family dynamics, and partnering with Scout has opened doors in and for the story in ways I never imagined possible!”
Catians #1 arrives on November 01, 2023.
