Scout Comics Expands With New COO Lesa Miller and More Key Hires

2020 has been a year of expansion for Scout Comics. In this year racked by uncertainty for many, the indie publisher that launched in 2015 has seen major growth with the hiring of White Ash creator Charlie Stickney as co-publisher, the introduction of their comic book vending machines, the debut of multiple imprints for their upcoming launches, and a series of announcements for 2021 releases that shows Scout Comics branching out into many different genres with creators both new and seasoned. Also, they publish Metalshark Bro, which is better than a comic about an anthropomorphic shark that fights ninja nuns has any right to be. Now, Scout Comics has announced more key hires, including Lesa Miller as Chief Operating Officer, Trent Miller as General Counsel of Scout Comics, Megan Marsden as Marketing Liason, Joel Rodriguez as Head of Design, and Andrea Lorenzo Molinari as Editorial Director.
