Last year, Bleeding Cool reported a parting of ways between Scout Comics and creator Louis Southard over Midnight Western Theatre, a comic book which had been developed for television by Oren Segal's Management Production Entertainment with Kevin Carroll to handle the adaptation. With accusations flying in all directions. Southard stated " Due to a disagreement between myself and Scout Comics, I have decided to step away from the project. That means all related media regarding the IP is on indefinite hiatus until the rights are returned in 2025." Scout CEO Brian Deenan told Bleeding Cool "We regret that Louis has gone down this inexplicable path but the contract will run its legal course. If he wishes to sabotage the TV series, that is his right".
But now, a new Midnight Western Theatre series written by Southard is listed in Scout Comics' July 2023 solicitations, a prequel drawn by Butch K. Mapa. Southard told Bleeding Cool "After some discussions with Scout, we reached a positive resolution, which is a great display of how Scout cares about its creators and books. I'm happy with how everything turned out."
Also from Scout Comics in their July 2023 solicits and solicitations, they are launching Space Outlaw #1 by Marco Fontanili, Mr Easta #1 from Kit Wallis, Death Comes For Toymaker #1 from Dakota Brown and Ryan Cody, Charm City #1 by Josh Eiserike and Scott Van Domelen, Trakovi #1 by Adriean Koleric, Wild Cosmos #1 by Curtis Clow and Mauro Mandalari.
