I got a warm spot in my heart for BOOM! Studios because they are showing mad love for the kids! In addition to the Monsters Inc comic which is already in stores, they're dropping another issue of the Cars: Radiator Springs mini, as well as zero issues of The Muppet Show Comic Book and Toy Story (that are preludes to ongoing series for 2010) in comic shops tomorrow December 9th. and if you've been sleeping on the Incredibles comic, i don't know what to say. point being, if we want more comics for us grown folks to read, we gotta make sure that the kids market keeps growing! for whatever reason, those geniuses at BOOM! are tryin'a take the industry on their backs on this one! so you should probably check out the Champion of Children blog if you wanna get the heads up and peep free previews of comics, movies, etc for the young 'uns.holla!

I really dig the muppet show comic they put out. The writer/artist that they found really "got" it. The jokes were funny and the art was beautiful.
ReplyDeletethe previews i've read of the Monsters, Inc comics are promising, too. Boom! has really set a good bar with their kids' comics.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to see if Disney pulls the licenses from them for these Disney/Pixar properties now that they have purchased Marvel. I hope not, because they appear to have a great grasp of how to do the books right. maybe a distribution and marketing partnership would be a better idea.
I've also heard great things about the Incredibles comic. Every review I read is so positive.
