love the mini's thanks for all the hard work. I was intrigued when you mentioned this book a few weeks back in the podcast. Now that you showed some interior art I think i need to check it out thanks.

I think that, and this is unconfirmed, but after these issues are finished, it will all be collected into one big volume.

Well, I had only heard of Scud from an earlier episode you guy's did a couple of weeks ago, and now with this mini-episode I'm actually intrigued, but I do think I'll wait for the hardcover or trades of it.

I love Scud. Perfect timing too. Rob Schrab's on the cover a local newszine this week.
Here's a link to the article:

@josh: Scud the Disposable Assassin: The Whole Shebang! TPB is part of the June 2008 solicitations from Image. It will include issues 1-24 and a one-shot, all for $19.99. I'm sold.

@Jfernandes - which solicitations have you found this wonderful news at. Like I said I'm a suck for collections, especially at such a fantastic price.
Posted by jstump on 03/25/08 at 10:20 PM
@jstump, that was the solicitation provided by CBR. Upon looking at the newest Previews order book, the price is actually $29.99. Still a great price for 25 issues. I'm still sold.

Hmm I have never heard of Scud before. Odd that he waited so many years and actually returned. Is this out in trades or will it be? The art looks amazing.
I believe the logic in showing his ex something through the comic book medium is flawless by the way, in the sense that we get comics.
