Scout Comics’ The West Moon Chronicle and The Greylock are in development for TV

Posted on by

Scout Comics & Entertainment has partnered with Second Act Entertainment to develop two Scout comics into film and television projects. Scout and Second Act will produce. 
 
In The Greylock, by Eli Shockey and Atagun Ilhan, magic is a commodity. Potions are sold at corner stores, Orcs and Dwarves earn a living in cubicles not battlefields… but there are those who resist the Houses of Magi’s laws. Branded a criminal and forced to live as a wand for hire, there is a spellslinger they call… The Greylock.
 
In West Moon Chronicle, by Frank Jun Kim and Joe Bocardo, the elusive creatures of mud and blood known as the dokkaebi live just off of Route 4 in east Texas, in the ancient pine forest known as the Tanglechase. Joon-Ho, a Korean immigrant with a shadowy past, and his estranged grandson Jae-Sun are the only people in the nearby town of Vane who know the true nature of the dokkaebi. Together, they must figure out what’s causing the creatures to turn hostile. Perhaps it has something to do with the interdimensional portal at the heart of the Tanglechase, for it is from here that the past comes knocking, demanding a reckoning from both men.

It’s two second printings and two new releases for Scout Comics’ final order cutoff
