Scratch 9 is an adorable kids series about a cat named Scratch. After being experimented upon by the evil Dr. Schrodinger and the C.R.U.E.L. corporation, Scratch has the ability to tap into his other 8 lives, both past and future. Each life of Scratch's has a special ability that helps get him out of sticky situations.
In this free comic from 2014, creator Rob Worley presents us with the first chapter of the latest Scratch 9 series 'Cat of Nine Worlds.' In this chapter, Scratch's person has become a prisoner of the evil Schrodinger. Along with that preview, we get a charming tale in which Scratch, teaming with First Dog Bo, must save the President from a C.R.U.E.L. duplicate that's outlawed cats.
Then if you flip the book over and turn to the back, we catch a glimpse of a new Worley creation called Run and Amok. It's about a boy named Run and his pet alien Amok, a giant rock creature. They travel through time while trying to evade the evil Saucer Invaders who want the duo back at any cost. It was a cute tale with promise but I'm not sure if this series ever took off as I cannot find any evidence of a Run & Amok comic or graphic novel on Amazon or Stashmycomics.com.
Though I do not see another Scratch 9 on the horizon and there isn't a 2015 FCBD offering, it doesn't mean that's the end of this series. A collected edition of Cat of Nine Worlds is due out this summer and can be preordered on Amazon and there are two other Scratch 9 series available on the online retailer as well.
Even though after being offered for the past 2 FCBDs there isn't going to be a new Scratch comic, it doesn't mean that there aren't any great all-ages books slated for this year's Free Comic Book Day which is just 15 days away. To get an idea of what's going to be offered this year, click here. You can also download some free previews of many great titles such as Doctor Who, Pokemon, Spongebob, and Transformers.
