Discover a Brand New Art Book From the Creator of Beloved Cult Sensation The Goon in December 2019

LOS ANGELES, CA (August 21, 2019) – BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at THE ART (AND MANY OTHER MISTAKES) OF ERIC POWELL, a brand new art book with scandalous tales, family gossip, illegally obtained medical records, behind-the-scenes character designs, sketches, and illustrations from the twisted mind of multi-award winning writer and artist Eric Powell, available in stores December 2019. Celebrate an obscene number of years of low art and high art, failure and success, and the many other mistakes from the creator of the acclaimed series, The Goon!

Never before has anyone dared to dive deep into the weird and byzantine mind of Eric Powell—and for good reason, because once you’ve entered the twisted pathways of this collection that’s half graphic memoir, half art book, you’ll find yourself traveling back to the never-before-seen origins of Eric Powell’s early beginnings as an artist then hurtling straight into the chaotic years of rough and tumble cartooning that led to the creation of the enduring hit creation, The Goon, that continues to thrill and delight fans to this very day!

THE ART (AND MANY OTHER MISTAKES) OF ERIC POWELL sheds light on the deliberate and painstaking process of becoming a world renowned comic book creator as recalled by the artist and a few of his delinquent friends. This extensive art book spotlights never-before-seen childhood drawings, early superhero test pages, film poster art, and the establishment of Powell’s homegrown publishing house Albatross Funnybooks.

Eric Powell is an Eisner Award-winning writer and artist best known for his critically acclaimed series The Goon, which launched in 1999, and quickly became an indie hit with a die-hard cult following. In 2002, Powell launched his own publishing house, Albatross Exploding Funnybooks, which has been home to several creator-owned titles, including his own series Chimichanga and Hillbilly, as well as Rebecca Sugar’s Pug DavisGrumble by Mike Norton & Rafer Roberts, and Brendon Small’sGalaktikon. In 2019, Powell relaunched The Goon at Albatross in coordination with the book’s 20th anniversary.

THE ART (AND MANY OTHER MISTAKES) OF ERIC POWELL is the newest release from BOOM! Studios’ eponymous imprint, home to critically acclaimed original series, including Once & Future by Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora; Something is Killing the Children by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera. Faithless by Brian Azzarello and Maria Llovet; Abbott by Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivelä; Bury The Lede by Gaby Dunn and Claire Roe; Klaus by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora; and the upcoming Folklords by Matt Kindt and Matt Smith.

JEFF LEMIRE AND PHIL HESTER INTRODUCE BODY HORROR IN FORTHCOMING SERIES, THE FAMILY TREE

“The story of a little girl who turned into a tree…”

PORTLAND, Ore. 08/15/2019 — Image Comics is pleased to announce an all-new, ongoing genre-defying series by New York Timesbestselling author Jeff Lemire (Gideon Falls, Ascender) and critically-acclaimed artist Phil Hester (Shipwreck, Green Arrow), The Family Tree, which will launch this November.

In The Family Tree, an eight-year-old girl literally begins to transform into a tree, her single mom, troubled brother, and possibly insane grandfather, embark on a bizarre and heart-wrenching odyssey across the back roads of America in a desperate search for a cure to her horrifying transformation—before it’s too late.

Family Tree has been a story that has been percolating for a long time,” said Lemire. “In a lot of ways it’s a return to the tone, and many of the themes, I explored with my Animal Man run; a look at the many horrors that can threaten to tear a family apart, and the bonds that keep them together in the face of unspeakable events.”

The farther they get from home, the more forces threaten to tear the family apart as fanatical cults, mercenaries, and tabloid Paparazzi close in, determined to destroy the girl or use her for their own ends.

Hester added: “I believe The Family Tree fit pretty squarely into both my and Jeff’s body of work in that it’s undeniably weird, sometimes grotesque, and occasionally violent. But underneath it all is the beating heart of a family that finds a way to stay a family under the most extreme circumstances.”

The Family Tree combines mystery, action, and Cronenbergian body horror into an epic story about the lengths a mother will go to keep her children safe in the face of an increasingly unstable world and unspeakable horrors.

The Family Tree #1 (Diamond Code SEP190021) will hit stores on Wednesday, November 13. It can be pre-ordered with your local comic shop or purchased across many digital platforms, including the official Image Comics iOS app, Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.

The Next Generation of Lev Grossman’s THE MAGICIANS Makes Their First Appearance in Brand New Series

Discover The New Class of Magicians From Series Creator Lev Grossman in November 2019 


LOS ANGELES, CA (August 15, 2019) – BOOM! Studios is proud to announce THE MAGICIANS, an all-new original five-issue series in which New York Times bestselling series creator Lev Grossman returns with an all-new story in the world of The Magicianswith award-winning writer Lilah Sturges (The Magicians: Alice’s Story) and rising star artist Pius Bak that features the first appearance of the next generation of heroes and villains, available in November 2019.

Long after Quentin and his friends have graduated from Brakebills, Dean Fogg welcomes a historic new group of students to the school – the first ever class of hedge magicians, rogue practitioners of unsanctioned magic, invited to enroll at Brakebills. But the traditional magicians aren’t too thrilled to have the rule-breaking outcasts in their hallowed halls, and tempers flare as the student bodies clash to prove their superiority – not realizing a new danger has emerged to threaten them all. The malevolence behind the threat at Brakebills will rock everyone to their cores – and even shock longtime fans of The Magicians!

The Magicians is an award-winning, New York Times bestselling adult fantasy novel series created by Lev Grossman, which has become a worldwide pop culture phenomenon and inspired a hit television series on Syfy. Originally published in 2009, The Magiciansintroduces readers to Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, which boasts a prestigious and dangerously difficult curriculum, famous and infamous alumni, and a record of only… a few deaths per graduating class.

The Magicians universe is deep and rich and there are so many places and stories that the books just never got to. Lilah and Pius are going to take us there — with me kibitzing over their shoulders — and it’s going to be incredible.” said author Lev Grossman.

Lilah Sturges is the Eisner Award-nominated co-writer of acclaimed Vertigo series Jack of Fables, as well as the writer for well-known series such as House of Mystery, Fables: The Wolf Among Us, and Justice Society of America with DC Comics, and Thor with Marvel Comics. Sturges most recently wrote The Magicians: Alice’s Story original graphic novel, with creator Lev Grossman and artist Pius Bak, as well as the original graphic novelLumberjanes: The Infernal Compass from BOOM! Studios.

“Lev, Pius and I had such an amazing time working on Alice’s Story and it was clear from the start that we were a great team, so it was only natural that we would try to find a way to keep going! There are so many things to say in this world that Lev has created, so many potential stories just waiting to be told.” said writer Lilah Sturges. “Setting THE MAGICIANS at Brakebills gives us the chance to tell all new stories in a familiar setting, with a mixture of existing and new characters, and give readers something that feels very fresh while being unmistakably The Magicians.”

Pius Bak is a comic book artist born and currently living in Lithuania. Mostly self-taught, Bak started his career as a concept artist. He later transitioned to drawing comics, and in 2017, for the first time, his illustrations appeared in the published comic Night Owl Society.Bak has done illustration work for The Magicians: Alice’s Story, Firefly: The Sting, andAdventure Time with BOOM! Studios as well as various other independent comics projects.

“I had a lot of fun drawing The Magicians: Alice’s Story, and seeing all the positive feedback after the launch was really encouraging. So I’m very excited, and I think fans will be, too, about the all-new MAGICIANS series.” said artist Pius Bak. “I had a lot of freedom in designing the characters for this series, and it feels like a big responsibility to make them right, but I also feel very lucky to be able to contribute this much to The Magiciansuniverse.”

THE MAGICIANS #1 features a main cover by acclaimed artist and illustrator Qistina Khalidah (Return to Dark Tower), along with the first in a series of tarot card variant covers by artist Alexa Sharpe (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), featuring a brand new magician as the Hierophant.

THE MAGICIANS is  the newest release from BOOM! Studios’ eponymous imprint, home to critically acclaimed original series, including Once & Future by Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora; Faithless by Brian Azzarello and Maria Llovet; Abbott by Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivelä; Bury The Lede by Gaby Dunn and Claire Roe; Klaus by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora; and the upcoming Folklords by Matt Kindt and Matt Smith. The imprint also publishes popular licensed properties including Joss Whedon’s Firefly from Greg Pak and Dan McDaid; Buffy The Vampire Slayer from Jordie Bellaire and David Lopez; and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers from Ryan Parrott and Daniele Di Nicuolo.

“We’re very excited to introduce fans and new readers to a story that features some of the most intriguing new additions to The Magicians universe,” said Matthew Levine, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “This new and diverse class of Brakebills students make for an emotionally rich and daring ensemble that will pull you in from page one .”

PLAYNYC 2019 Preview

This weekend August 10th-11th, PLAY NYC has their third annual event. Now at the Metropolitan Pavilion (123 W.18th St, Manhattan, NY) .  There will be over 150 games from all genres available for all to experience, discover and enjoy

 

 

 

 

Totem, a pixel-art adventure game about a girl’s journey and her many transformations along the way. Gather powerful abilities as you battle and solve puzzles across dozens of handcrafted environments.

 

 

 

 

Way of Rhea is a side scrolling puzzle game in which you can only interact with objects in the world that match your current color. Through use of a teleport mechanic that only lets you teleport to places you’ve already been, and a limited ability to change colors, you have to navigate Way of Rhea’s world only ever interacting with a subset of it at any given time.

“We built the initial prototype of Way of Rhea in 2018 after I saw Bennet Foddy give a talk at GDC about having his students make a game a week. We signed up for a small Playcrafting expo without a game, and spent the week left before the expo scrambling to build the first prototype in time for the event. The game’s come a long way since then, but I don’t think it would exist at all if we hadn’t decide to get something playable in front of players in such a short period of time.” – Mason Remaley

Play NYC is Playcrafting’s biggest event, but they also host frequent smaller events. All the indie developers I know in the city bring their games to Playcrafting events to playtest—it’s an integral part of NYC‘s indie scene.” – Mason Remaley

Starting on 8/9/19 at 12PM EDT, you’ll be able to add Way of Rhea to your Steam wishlist at the following address: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1110620/Way_of_Rhea/
