Boom! Studios (styled BOOM! Studios) is a New York Times best-selling[8] comic book and graphic novel publisher headquartered in Los Angeles, California, United States.

The publisher has been named "Best Publisher (under 4%)" in 4 out of the last 5 years by Diamond Comic Distributors.[9]

History

Before co-founding BOOM! Studios, Richie and Cosby worked at Malibu Comics from 1993 to 1995. The duo left the comic book business to pursue careers in feature films and were involved producing the feature film adaptation of Mage by legendary comic book creator Matt Wagner with Spyglass Entertainment,[10] and had various projects with Mike Medavoy (Phoenix Pictures),[11] Mark Canton (The Canton Company), Akiva Goldsman, and Casey Silver.[12] Working with Dark Horse Comics, the duo set up Damn Nation at MTV Films/Paramount Pictures,[13] a comic book Cosby created with the partnership attached to produce.[14]

BOOM!’s first publication was Zombie Tales #1, a horror zombie anthology released on June 22, 2005.

BOOM! announced during the 2007 San Diego Comic Con the appointment of Mark Waid as Editor-in-Chief. After three years in the position, Waid was promoted to Chief Creative Officer with former Managing Editor Matt Gagnon promoted to Editor-in-Chief. In December 2010, Waid announced he would be leaving his role as Chief Creative Officer to return to freelance work though he will continue writing for the publisher.[15]

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.[16] The company also debuted a new logo alongside the campaign.

In 2013, Boom! acquired Archaia Studios Press.[17]

Imprints

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