And it looks like Battlestar Galactica: Six #1 is also getting a second print before the series gets back on track with printing the rest of the much delayed book. But Boom aren't playing that game for some reason. In January, I noticed that Boom Studios was announcing quite a few sold out statuses followed by second[...]

Consider this an irregular feature looking at comic books that have gone to second prints or more. Now, it is worth remembering that some publishers plan

And how Injection by Warren Ellis and Declan Shalvey is going to be much better than Moon Knight… And plugging Kaptara, No Mercy, The Surface and more… from Ron'sdesktop, What was beginning to be clear that this was an effective way to talk to the customers of 36 stores simultaneously, in an environment when they could be inspired by[...]

An occasional look at lateness, comics that are on the schedule to be published but maybe a little later than we might have thought... and when we might

Filip Sablik of Boom! Studios too the stage at ComicsPRO in Portland yesterday (photo by Calum Johnston) to launch Power Up, a new comic book from Kate Leth and Matt Cummings. Kate is best known as a webcomic comics creator, who has been working on Adventure Time-related comics for Boom! which  got the attention for a number[...]

Boom have announced a second comic at the ComicsPRO retailer meet taking place in Portland. Strange Fruit is a new comic written by Mark Waid with fully painted artwork by JG Jones coming from Boom – and it as been some time coming. People at ComicsPRO tell me that it will take place in 1927, as a black[...]

One of Boom's bigger sleeper hits from two years ago was Six-Gun Gorilla, which surprised everyone by taking a pulp era, public domain character and reinventing it into a 2000 AD inspired rumination on the nature of creativity and authorship. Today, during Boom's forward-ushing presentation to the retailers at ComicsPRO, they announced a new series from the same team of Simon[...]

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool revealed that Boom! Studios were to launch their "Push Comics Forward" And plenty of comic book people have been sharing what such a thing means… to them. The outpouring of people who love comics and want comics to be the best medium and inclusive industry/community is AMAZING! #comicsforward — chrissypedia (@chrissypedia) January 28, 2015 Folks[...]

Some times these are naturally occurring as retailers and publishers under-estimate the demand for a particular series and other times a calculated effort on the part of the publisher to help drive interest in the series. Boom! is no stranger to sell out announcements although over the last year they seem to have been more aggressively[...]

A new promotion from Boom! Studios called Push Comics Forward or #comicsforward. From the new Diamond Previews… It's Keith Giffen's fault I keep telling people that he talked me into it in a dive bar on L.A.'s west side But the truth is that I started this company out of the spare bedroom in my apartment because[...]

Last night all cover price advance order copies of Munchkin #1 from Boom! Studios were hoovered up on eBay, with $9.99 now the cheapest price for a copy And that won't last long either I'm thinking And all because of an exclusive Munchkin game card, only available with the comic's first print. Here's what all the[...]

Tomorrow sees the launch of Munchkin #1 from Boom! Studoos based on the card game of the same name from Steve Jackson Games. It has already sold out from Diamond Comic Distributors and gone to second print But there should be copies in most comic stores tomorrow If you get there first Advance sales are already[...]

It's been a bit since I've seen a website registration that caught my attention, but one that did is the recently registered – pushcomicsforward.com. Registered on the 17th December with a hidden domain owner, it redirects to a Tumblr page with a single image and what appears to be a mission statement. Push Comics Forward is a movement[...]

Archie, Titan and Valiant and a touch of Oni, more so that Dynamite, Avatar and Boom For Valiant, it's most of the line, for Archie, it's the older Archie books, Life, Afterlife and Sabrina, but also Sonic The Hedgehog And for Titan it's Doctor Who – and nothing else. For the best-selling Non-Premier graphic novels it's[...]

From Boom… to Marvel… to IDW… launching Uncle Scrooge #1 in April is kicking off a bunch of new and old Disney comics at IDW, including new Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse titles. Here's a look at that Uncle Scrooge #1 solicitation… Uncle Scrooge #1—GEM OF THE MONTH Jonathan Gray, Rodolfo Cimino (w) • Romano Scarpa (a) •[...]

The first issue is still selling for a reasonable amount on eBay, but if parent publisher Boom's Over The Garden Wall is any indication that probably won't be the case for very long…     Yesterday, Diamond Comic Distributors showed that Star Wars #1 had sold out of his million-busting print run But Marvel released extra copies to Diamond, and[...]

I couldn't help but noticed that writer James Tynion IV, along with a number of prominent BOOM! staffers, changed their Twitter profile picture to a strange spiral symbol yesterday In addition to his work in the Bat-office at DC, Tynion has seen success with his original series, The Woods, at BOOM! with the publisher committing to[...]

Star Trek/Planet Of The Apes #1 was released one-and a half weeks ago… And Munchkin hasn't even come out yet. One from IDW/Boom, one just from Boom, both have sold out and both have gone to second prints. Expect announcements tomorrow, but for now, here's a peek at the new Munchkin cover… [...]

We mentioned how today was the Final Order Cut-off fate for Avengers; Rage Of Ultron, the last day retailer can increase (or decrease) their orders on a comic without penalty and with a surety they'll get the comics they've ordered. Well, the new Boom! series Cluster has another week to go And they have a new way[...]

Today's launch of Roger Langridge's Abigail And The Snowman from Boom has a really nice page layout that I thought was worth bringing to further attention. The Snowman, realising that he can be seen by children, is in the corner of the playground But, thanks to the layout and design, a three dimensional scene seen in isometric two[...]

In for a penny… And Justin Jordan and Ariela Kristantina's Boom! book goes from strength to strength with the first issue of Deep State going to a third printing… While it's second issue goes to a second printing And, yes, it's possible that it's sale to Twentieth Century Fox as a potential TV series may have a little something[...]
