Another Scud Update

In my last post about Scud: The Disposable Assassin I reported that the final adventure of Scud would be released in one complete volume. Apparently, this is not exactly the case anymore. As reported in the Image Solicitation, Scud: The Disposable Assassin #21, the first of a four issue conclusion to the long unfinished series, will be released February 13, 2008. Creator Rob Schrab has tapped 4 different artist to do cover art for each consecutive issue, including Ashley Wood on #21, ex-St. Louisian Jim Mahfood on #22, David Hartman on #23, and Doug Tennapel on the grand finale #24. After all the individual issues of the conclusion arc have been released, Image will finally put out the complete Scud in June of 2008.

Schrab explains more about the decision to release the conclusion as individual issues on Newsarama:

"Even after all this time it's hard to say goodbye, I was working on a thirty-two page conclusion to include in a collection of all the previous material, but it grew to well over a hundred pages. Image and I agreed this warranted its own release and it's for the better. The ending is now an entirely different beast, one I couldn't be any prouder about."

Scud fans unite, the ending is almost here!
