MDMRNNew(ish) Read - Scud The Disposable Assassin - The Whole Shebang<br>
<br>
I read a little bit of Scud, back in the 90s. I had a few friends who were just super into it, so I got into it. But, again, only read some of it. Now, as an adult I'm trying it out again and it is EXTREMELY 90s.<br>
<br>
First, let's take a step back. Scud is a series about a disposable assassin that you can buy in a vending machine. Set in...well, the 2020s, so around nowish, this Scud unit was sent after an enormous monster with a plug for a head named Jeff. <br>
<br>
A Scud unit is disposable. So, once they kill their target, they cease to be. So, this unit, our main Scud, maimed his target, brought the creature to a hospital, and paid for medical expenses so Jeff would remain...just alive while Scud kept on living.<br>
<br>
It's an odd concept. The rest of the series, that I've read to date, involve our titular Scud unit taking independent odd assassin jobs in a wild sci fi world.<br>
<br>
Imagine a dystopian cyberpunk future that's also a bit backwards with incredible technology. There's tons of violence. There's tons of cursing. There's human-robot sex. There's a resurrected Benjamin Franklin dressed in very little clothing running a crime ring. It's a lot and, again, extremely 90s.<br>
<br>
I am glad I'm reading it and finally getting closure on how this series will end (i'm a little over halfway through). But, my goodness, it's so wild and over the top. Always.<br>
<br>
