Better Than Anyone
I really want to let everyone know that it means a huge amount to me that you guys enjoy Scout Crossing, and I’m ahead right now, the next 2 strips are entirely penciled in, so I’ll be able to return to my 2 post a week schedule now 🙂
Again, you guys are really awesome, thank you for the kind words and encouragement.
Man, scout crossing is one of the three webcomics I am absolutely crazy about. I always ALWAYS look forward to it. The plot is pretty awesome 🙂
Also, did he just make him crumple by looking at him?
Thanks Blake! I’m really happy you like Scout, it means a lot to me! And yeah, I’d say Boyd is crushed emotionally now 😉
Hockey-toothed hipster! Mega lawl.
I had to show some battle damage.
Oh no no no no nooo… you couldn’t have done anything better. It’s perfect.
Because now he looks like a jock. And that is just unacceptable. : )
Nice touch with the guitar spikes.
I was teetering on that or having it transform into an scythe with stickers on it.
Maybe for one of the others? Your call, future man.
I think the spiked guitar was the way to go. Few things smash as amazingly as a guitar, and I feel a scythe (while cool in its own right) would only subtract from the smashy awesomeness that is the spitar.
This is an awesome finish. Look forward to more as with all of your work Scott.
thanks Ezekialf! I can only hope I get better 🙂
i love all of the little touches you put into each panel. the detail of this comic is just one of the things that makes it amazing though.
Thank you! I hope as the updates keep happening, they keep getting better 🙂
Love it, as always. Absolutely my favorite web comic out there right now.
Thanks Aluroon, it makes my day to read that 🙂
Oh man, not only do I get a really bad ass look, a guitar as a weapon, AND the promise of 5 more baddies to be fought; I also get to look forward to more than 1 scout a week?!!!! If I wasn’t so manly I would squee so hard in public instead of when my college room mate is out of the room. 😀
I’d say that squeeing is totally manly because it’s all Monty does and he’s the manliest fuzzy-alien-creature-thing ever!
ah, touche.
Noice! I get to see an update less than 2 hours old! Hooray insomnia!
Like FreeHamster said, I love the guitar spikes, and the cracks around his right eye. Similar to the cracks in Laylor’s face.
Also, because of the evidence presented here (his clothing style and his title of “The Scene”), would it be reasonable to assume that each of the other 5 “kings” will represent a different type of music/style/sub-culture? Because that would be groovy.
That is a very reasonable theory, and it is fairly accurate too, I wish I could say more than that, but I can’t give too much away.
I’m really happy you like everything so far, thank you for the kind words 🙂
well better have a merzbowish among the 5 – because thai hardcore or j-pop are totally nothing compared to an ol’ great power harsh master ov white noise and notch filters.
Even if I’m not sure many would get the joke. Better stick with lumberjack looking mathstonercore booze sacks then…
You always completely blow me away with this comic. It’s the story and the originality and the art and everything. Also, awesome to see that you’re bringing back the more frequent posting schedule.
On a side note, we able to look forward to more Motokool in the future? I’d like to see where that’s going too. Plus, more of Templeton can only be a good thing.
OMG “The 6” are kings!?!?! That’s awesome!
Die Boyd! He’s like a cockroach.
PS I agree with Flabajaba in terms of the kings representing each music style.
Great. I’ll admit I was getting frustrated with the update schedule. I recognize that you’re a busy guy though so I wasn’t about to give you a hard time about it. Hopefully you’ll manage to keep it up. I’m enjoying this (and your other comics) a lot. Thanks for making them.
Sweet, 2 comics a week. I love you, man. Keep up the awesome work.
Awesome comic man, def one of the best online that I read
I love Scout so much. Every time you do an update for it I squeal like a little girl.
I’m glad you got your sites back and working, I was having some serious withdrawal issues!
Oh thank god! I was worried for a minute there that the updates wouldn’t ever come on time again…
thanks for being such a hard working dude and bringing this wonderful comic to me. I’d, I don’t know, send a donation, if I wasn’t so goddamn poor.
This reminds me so much of Scott Pilgrim, and it is awesome. I finally clicked on this a few weeks ago, after keeping with Nerf This! since the begining. All your comics are really good!
i dislike cliche’ meaningless comments like this but this comic is so freaking sick, i tend to check back here twice a day on average just hoping ill get to see a little more awesomeness… keep up the awesome work
If ANYONE says that this comic rips off Scott Pilgrim, I’ll have their small intestines, as it is more sanitary than their large intestines, and there’s more fun in the pulling.
Ka-Bong!
The art is mindblowing, the story is riveting, and the characters are damn fun. Keep up the good work man =]
So, I’m not trying to spam but I don’t see any other way to contact the author. Twice when viewing your comics (once for scout crossing and once for nerf this) I have been redirected to “www1.safeconnection31.co.cc”. Upon loading this site tried to convince me my computer was infected with malware. First by popping a modal dialog (always very annoying) and then with an animation of a plausible windows xp setup. This site is obviously trying to fish for the unwary and attack their computers. It is likely hijacking you’re site(s) (or maybe even wordpress in general) through malicious means. I suggest you warn your readers (perhaps a superfluous action) and contact whoever you can about resolving this.
Also: great comic.
Scott is fully aware of the issue. I’m working on his behalf to get rid of this stupid malware attack that spread across all three of his comics. I appreciate you commenting regardless because as far as I knew, I had fixed the error last night.. but today something snuck back out and re attacked his whole sites again. I’ve reset his server back a week back from before the attack, and am doing all the necessary updates and protections to make sure this wont come back.
I advise you as a precaution to scan your computer. As far as i can tell, the malware hasn’t actually attacked anyone’s computers, but to be safe just do a scan and clean anyway. :]
once again tasty 😀
(Inside of Boyd’s head): These are a pair of shorts I’ll never wear again…
Your Art is fantastic. I haven’t paid much attention to the story, but the art! Thanks for sharing it with us for free.
Of the panoply of webitse I’ve pored over this has the most veracity.

You have great comics. Enjoy your work.
Hoo I wish i could draw like that.
Its like a ” if Scott Pillgrim hated Nickleback, was heavily tatooed and not a complete tool.” type of strip and I bloody well love it.
Mike out.
Oh man, I know, we are completely awesome. If it wasn’t for us, who would enjoy these pleasure inducing comics?
Congratulations on the contest win. I really enjoy the story especially with the ramp up and the tat-magick. Really enjoyed the mini-book, too. Writing is excellent and engaging.
Thank you, sir. You are a scholar and a gentleman!
Hmmm, my only complaint is the shrapnel from the guitar. It somehow turns into little pieces of wood. I’d love for it to have broken into two halves, held together by the strings.
Ah, the old “Smash-your-guitar-against-their-head-in-desperation” move. Quite the fallback move, reminds me of my younger days before the war.
I’m getting an obvious Scott Pilgrim feel from this series, and while thats obvious, I’m not hating it, in fact, its really good and has its own twang (geddit? I’msohorrible). so keep up the good work! Artwork is amazing too!
