History
edit2000s
editRoss Richie andAndrew Cosby had been working inHollywood with Dave Elliott and Garry Leach in 2004 to revive 1980s comic book publishing houseAtomeka Press.[14] While working with Atomeka, Richie cut a deal withKeith Giffen andJ. M. DeMatteis to publish their seriesHero Squared, with theHero Squared X-Tra Sized Special one-shot.[15]
They went on to found Boom! together in 2005.[16] They had been helping to option comic book projects as producers, and working to develop them into films with the studios, but became increasingly frustrated with what they felt was the "tights and capes" focus of most mainstream comics companies.[17] When Giffen was featured as a guest at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention,[18] he persuaded Richie to start his own outfit, Boom!.[19][20]
Boom!'s first publication wasZombie Tales #1, a horror zombie anthology, released under the Boom! and Atomeka Press logos on June 29, 2005.[2][21][22] The first edition was published by Atomeka, but released after Richie had left the company to start Boom! Studios. Giffen and DeMatteis imported theirHero Squared series from Atomeka to Boom! andHero Squared became the very first Boom! comic book sold solely under the Boom! logo.[2][23] shipping July 27, 2005.[24]
During this time in its history, Boom! focused on publishing an array of original series created by a slew of industry veterans: Giffen worked onHero Squared,Planetary Brigade,10,Jeremiah Harm, and the Tales titles likeZombie Tales andCthulhu Tales.[25] DeMatteis collaborated with Giffen onHero Squared andPlanetary Brigade and brought his own series,The Stardust Kid, withMike Ploog, over fromImage Comics.[26]Mike Mignola and Troy Nixey'sOni Press seriesJenny Finn migrated to Boom! and finally completed its story.[27] Eisner Award winner Dave Johnson created covers forZombie Tales andCthulhu Tales.[citation needed]Joe Casey createdThe Black Plague whileRafael Albuquerque's first American work debuted inThe Savage Brothers.[citation needed]
In 2006, Boom! moved into licensing for the first time with the debut ofGames Workshop seriesWarhammer 40,000: Damnation Crusade, based on the popular miniatures game of the same name.[28] In 2007, Boom! publishedSteven Grant's crime/action comic2 Guns which Cosby and Ritchie co-produced for Universal Studios in 2013.[29]
At the 2007San Diego Comic-Con, Boom! announced plans to launch its first imprint, a new line of comics for children originally announced with the name Zoom!,[30] but when the imprint launched in 2009, the imprint debuted asBoom! Kids.[31] Boom! also signed a deal with Pixar to produce comic books based on their properties and secured newsstand distribution.[32][33] The first includedThe Muppet Show by Roger Langridge andThe Incredibles: Family Matters by Mark Waid and artist Marcio Takara. In February 2011, Boom! re-branded Boom! Kids asKaBOOM!,[34] re-focusing the imprint to be appealing to all ages rather than only children.[35]
Also, during the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con, Boom! announced the appointment ofMark Waid as Editor-in-Chief.[36] This role would eventually grow to Chief Creative Officer in August 2010 before his eventual return to freelance work in December of that year.[37] While in these leadership roles, Waid also created multiple successful titles, includingIrredeemable in 2009, which became Boom!'s longest-running series at that time, lasting 37 issues, and a sister bookIncorruptible.[38]
2010s
editFormer Managing Editor Matt Gagnon was promoted to Editor-in-Chief in July 2010.[39]
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.[40] In June 2013, Boom! acquiredArchaia Studios Press,[41] merging it into Boom! and retaining it as a stand-alone imprint. In October 2013, Boom! signed afirst-look deal with20th Century Fox giving Fox theright of first refusal to develop any Boom! comic properties into a film or TV series, and Boom! would getfirst-dollar gross on any profits. As a publisher of creator-owned works, that share would be split between Boom! and the creator(s) of the adapted work.[42]
In January 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.[43]
In June 2017, 20th Century Fox purchased a minority stake in Boom! Studios, valued at $10 million.[44][45]The Walt Disney Company inherited Fox's stake in Boom! Studios afterDisney acquired 21st Century Fox's assets on March 20, 2019.[46][47]
2020s
editIn April 2020, Boom! Studios established a first-look deal withNetflix.[48] In July 2024, it was reported thatPenguin Random House had agreed to acquire Boom! Studios fromThe Walt Disney Company under itsRandom House division.[1] The acquisition was completed on September 17, 2024.[citation needed]
