Wizard Awards Boom! Studios Best New Publisher
By: News EditorDate: Monday, January 23, 2006
Wizard Magazine has named newly formed comic book publisher Boom! Studios "Best New Publisher." Boom! Studios has garnered critical attention as well, getting 17 out of 17 favorable website reviews for its initial launch title. Since then, Boom! has moved to the forefront of comic book publishing for the direct market.
Wizard stated, "Utilizing a stacked talent roster that includes Keith Giffen (10, Jeremiah Harm), J.M. DeMatteis (Hero Squared with Giffen), Mike Mignola (Jenny Finn), Steve Niles (Giant Monster, Fused Tales), Mark Waid (Zombie Tales), and more, Boom delivered more awesome comics in 2005 than some indie publishers release in a lifetime!"
Boom! Studios launched in 2005 with an eye to becoming a boutique publisher, focused on doing a small number of projects well.
"We started by shipping just two books a month, and managed to get some decent attention. We'll be branching out more, but it will be a slow, gradual, organic process." Boom! Studios publisher Ross Richie went on to say, "Last year was a banner year for us, but the stuff we've got planned for the near future's really going to turn some heads."
