Scout Comics BLACK CARAVAN PREMIERE CANCELED #1 first printing cover AScout

David Byrne’s Canceled imagines a world where public opinion is weaponized. After a comedian’s career is destroyed overnight by a viral outrage storm, he becomes the first victim of a new cultural purge — one enforced not by institutions, but by mobs who believe they’re delivering justice. Issue #1 follows the fallout as the “canceled” comedian is hunted, silenced, and erased, revealing a society where reputations are disposable and punishment is crowd‑driven. The story sets up a dark satire about fear, power, and how quickly a public can turn violent when it believes it’s righteous.
