Boom! Studios
Deadline is reporting that Boom! Studios has purchased Archaia. Deadline reports that Boom! Studios might be nipping at the heels of Marvel and DC Comics. This points to one of the problems with getting comic book news from companies which do not specialize in comics. Deadline apparently missed the fact that Image, IDW Publishing, Dark Horse, and Dynamite are all ahead of Boom! Studios. While Archaia is a strong company with good titles, it does not hold at least 1% of the market – which would be enough to move Boom! Studios into the fifth or sixth overall position.
On a varied note, I look forward to seeing what Boom! Studios does with Archaia. At the very least, Boom! Studios makes a statement to the world that it is ready to move up and will spend money to do so.
