Greetings, citizens of Earth-Prime! Neoplasmic here, with a special guest in tow! Yes, friends, today we are speaking with prolific comic book scribe Ryan Little! Ryan was kind enough to chat with us about his latest project, Super Scouts, which is a Super Sentai (think Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers) meets Galaxy Quest story about a group of past-their-prime actors who discover that the TV show they were featured on in their youth was based on actual events. Sounds intriguing, doesn’t it? Let’s find out where Ryan and his artistic collaborators came up with the idea, and what separates the Scouts from the Rangers, by smashing that play button!
