Booming Comic News

Posted July 27, 2007 By Dave Thomer

I was gonna steer clear of Comic-Con news posting here, partially because my shift to graphic novels and trade paperback collections means it might be next year before I see any of the titles being hyped this year and partially because I’m filling in on the news desk at theLogBook while Earl is at Classic Gaming Expo doing his video-documenting thing. But one bit today has thrown me for a loop: Mark Waid is going to take the reins as editor-in-chief of Boom! Studios, the comic publisher co-owned by Eureka creator Andrew Cosby. Waid says that part of the gig means that he’ll be releasing more creator-owned works through Boom, and if that’s the case . . . wow, this could be very good news from my point of view.
