Boom! Studios (styled BOOM! Studios) is an American comic book and graphic novel publisher, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, United States.

History

In the early 2000s, Ross Richie had been working in Hollywood, helping to option comic book projects as a producer and working to develop them into movies with the studios, but was getting increasingly frustrated with the process. Richie planned to start Boom! to get away from Hollywood.

Before BOOM!, Richie worked briefly with Dave Elliott and Garry Leach in 2004 to revive 1980s comic book publishing house, Atomeka Press.[7] While working with Atomeka, Richie cut a deal with Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis to publish their series Hero Squared, with the Hero Squared X-Tra Sized Special one-shot.[8] When Giffen was featured as a guest at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention,[9] he grabbed a drink with Richie after the show and persuaded him to part ways with Atomeka Press, and start his own outfit, BOOM!.[10] BOOM!’s first publication was Zombie Tales #1, a horror zombie anthology, released on June 29, 2005[11] under the BOOM! and Atomeka Press logo.[12] The issue was originally solicited by Atomeka but released after Richie had left the company to start BOOM!. Giffen and DeMatteis imported their Hero Squared series from Atomeka to BOOM! and Hero Squared became the very first BOOM! comic book solicited solely under the BOOM! logo,[13] shipping July 27, 2005.[14]

During this time in its history, BOOM! focused on publishing an array of original series created by a slew of industry veterans: Giffen worked on Hero Squared, Planetary Brigade, 10, Jeremiah Harm, and the Tales titles like Zombie Tales and Cthulhu Tales. DeMatteis collaborated with Giffen on Hero Squared and Planetary Brigade and brought his own series, The Stardust Kid, with Mike Ploog over from Image Comics. Mike Mignola and Troy Nixey's Oni Press series Jenny Finn migrated to BOOM! and finally completed its story. Eisner Award winner Dave Johnson created covers for Zombie Tales and Cthulhu Tales. Joe Casey created The Black Plague while Rafael Albuquerque's first American work debuted in The Savage Brothers.

2006 saw BOOM! move into licensing for the first time with the debut of Games Workshop series Warhammer 40,000: Damnation Crusade, based on the popular miniatures game of the same name.[15]

In 2007, BOOM! published Steven Grant's crime/action comic 2 Guns which would eventually be turned into the film of the same name in 2013.

At the 2007 San Diego Comic Con, BOOM! announced plans to launch its first imprint, a new line of comics for children originally announced with the name ZOOM!,[16] but when the imprint launched in 2009, the imprint debuted as "BOOM Kids!".[17] BOOM! also signed a deal with Disney/Pixar to produce comic books based on their properties and secured newsstand distribution. The first included The Muppet Show by Roger Langridge and The Incredibles: Family Matters by Mark Waid and artist Marcio Takara. In February 2011, BOOM! re-branded the imprint as KaBOOM!,[18] re-focusing the imprint to be truly appealing to all ages rather than only children.[19]

BOOM! announced during the 2007 San Diego Comic Con the appointment of Mark Waid as Editor-in-Chief.[20] In 2009, Waid created Irredeemable which became BOOM!'s longest-running series at that time, lasting 37 issues and the sister book Incorruptible.

After being promoted to Chief Creative Officer in 2013, Waid announced he would be leaving BOOM! to return to freelance work. Former Managing Editor Matt Gagnon was promoted to Editor-in-Chief.[21]

At the beginning of 2013, the company launched its #WeAreBOOM! campaign, spotlighting a philosophy that BOOM! isn't just composed of its writers, artists, and staff but also of the fans that read its comics and the retailers that sell them.[22]

In 2013, Boom! acquired Archaia Studios Press[23] merging it into BOOM! and retaining it as a stand-alone imprint.

In 2015, Boom! launched "Push Comics Forward", a public relations campaign aimed at generating a discussion about how comic book publishing can become more inclusive and diverse.[24]

Imprints

BOOM! is composed of four main imprints: the core BOOM! brand, the All-Ages focused KaBOOM!, Archaia, and BOOM! Box.

BOOM! Studios

The BOOM! Studios imprint publishes action-oriented fare which most appropriate for teens or older readers.[25]

Originals

Originals under the BOOM! banner explore a wide variety of genres from YA science fiction, like in The Woods by James Tynion IV and Michael Dialynas,[26] to horror/action like in the thriller Day Men[citation needed] which racked up "Best Inker" and "Best Cover Artist" Harvey Awards nominations[27] for series artist Brian Stelfreeze and sold to Universal Pictures as a movie.[28] Crime noir period piece Hit[citation needed] garnered Harvey Awards nominations for "Best Continuing or Limited Series" and a "Best Inker"[27] for artist Vanesa R. Del Rey and George Pérez's series for BOOM!, Sirens, is a multi-genre action piece that goes from fantasy to western to science fiction.[29] Pulp science fiction mini-series Six Gun Gorilla,[citation needed] written by Si Spurrier and drawn by Jeff Stokely, was nominated for several Harvey Awards including "Best Artist" and "Most Promising New Talent" and "Best New Series."[27] BOOM! also published an original series from Clive Barker entitled Next Testament.[30][31]

BOOM! generally does not focus on super-hero material but has published Grace Randolph's Supurbia.[32] Two of its original series, Irredeemable and Suicide Risk, have gathered accolades. Mark Waid's series Irredeemable ran for 37 issues[citation needed] and generated 10 graphic novel collections.[citation needed] A sister series called Incorruptible ran 30 issues,[citation needed] which were collected into 7 graphic novels.[citation needed] Mike Carey's series Suicide Risk received nominations for "Best New Series" and "Best Single Issue or Story."[33]

Licenses

BOOM!'s published many adaptations of popular films. Its Planet of the Apes series of comics is the longest-running adaptation of the series, publishing more comics than Marvel (29 issues) and Malibu (50 issues).[34] BOOM!'s series include: Planet of the Apes (16 issues plus an annual, a "giant" issue, a "special" issue, and a "Spectacular"), Betrayal on the Planet of the Apes (4 issues),[35] Exile on Planet of the Apes (4 issues), and Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm (12 issues). Just before the release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes BOOM! serialized a one-shot prelude to the movie online as a free webcomic. At San Diego Comic Con International 2014, they published a one shot Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Contagion bridging Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.[36] They are following this with a six-issue series Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in the modern movie continuity[37] as the classic movie continuity crosses over with Star Trek The Original Series in a co-publishing deal with IDW Publishing.[38]

Other film adaptations include an ongoing series based on Big Trouble In Little China[39] written by Eric Powell and John Carpenter, an Escape from New York comic book,[40] an ongoing series with Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure,[41] an eight-issue series based on Robocop[42] and 28 Days Later, bridging the story between 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, a 12 issue series based on Clive Barker's Nightbreed,[43][44] new Hellraiser comics[45]—unlike the previous Marvel Comics series, Barker himself co-wrote the series—eight issues of Die Hard: Year One focusing on John McClane's first year as a beat cop in New York City,[46] and a film tie-in for Jennifer's Body.[citation needed]

All of BOOM!’s Farscape series were co-written by show creator Rockne S. O’Bannon and take place in official show continuity immediately after the Peacekeeper Wars. BOOM! also published a tie-in to SyFy's show Eureka and well as new stories featuring TV's The Avengers, also known as Steed and Mrs. Peel so as not to be confused with the Marvel Comics characters of the same name.[49] On January 28, 2012, BOOM! released a reprint of the previously-published Eclipse Comics mini-series written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Ian Gibson.[citation needed] Boom acquired the license for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in June 2015 and released a monthly comic starting in January 2016.[50][51] Soon after its launch they announced a spinoff title, "MMPR Pink", launching in May 2016.
