Boom! Studios (styled BOOM! Studios) is a New York Times best-selling comic book and graphic novel publisher headquartered in Los Angeles, California, United States.
The publisher has been named "Best Publisher (under 4%)" in 5 out of the last 6 years by Diamond Comic Distributors.
History
In the early 2000s, Richie had been working in Hollywood, helping to option comic book projects as a producer and working to develop them into movies with the studios, but was getting increasingly frustrated with the process. "I'm getting older, and nothing's happening, and this is so frustrating," Richie said. "My plan was to start BOOM! to get away from Hollywood."
Before BOOM!, Ross Richie worked briefly with Dave Elliott and Garry Leach in 2004 to revive 1980s comic book publishing house Atomeka Press. While working with Atomeka, Richie cut a deal with Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis to publish their series Hero Squared with the Hero Squared X-Tra Sized Special one-shot. When Giffen was featured as a guest at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention, he grabbed a beer with Richie after the show and persuaded him to part ways with Atomeka Press and start his own outfit, BOOM!. BOOM!’s first publication was Zombie Tales #1, a horror zombie anthology released on June 29, 2005 under the BOOM! and Atomeka Press logo. The issue was originally solicited by Atomeka but released after Richie had left the company to start BOOM!. Giffen and DeMatteis imported their Hero Squared series from Atomeka to BOOM! and Hero Squared became the very first BOOM! comic book solicited solely under the BOOM! logo, shipping July 27, 2005.
During this time in its history, BOOM! focused on publishing an array of original series created by a slew of industry veterans: Giffen worked on Hero Squared, Planetary Brigade, 10, Jeremiah Harm, and the Tales titles like Zombie Tales and Cthulhu Tales. DeMatteis collaborated with Giffen on Hero Squared and Planetary Brigade and brought his own series, The Stardust Kid, with Mike Ploog over from Image Comics. Mike Mignola and Troy Nixey's Oni Press series Jenny Finn migrated to BOOM! and finally completed its story. Eisner Award winner Dave Johnson created covers for Zombie Tales and Cthulhu Tales. Joe Casey created The Black Plague while Rafael Albuquerque's first American work debuted in The Savage Brothers.
2006 saw BOOM! move into licensing for the first time with the debut of Games Workshop series Warhammer 40,000: Damnation Crusade, based on the popular miniatures game of the same name.
In 2007, BOOM! published Steven Grant's crime/action comic 2 Guns which would eventually be turned into the film of the same name in 2013.
At the 2007 San Diego Comic Con, BOOM! announced plans to launch its first imprint, a new line of comics for children, originally announced with the name ZOOM!, but when the imprint launched in 2009, the imprint debuted as "BOOM Kids!". BOOM! also signed a deal with Disney/Pixar to produce comic books based on their properties and secured newsstand distribution. The first included The Muppet Show by Roger Langridge and The Incredibles: Family Matters by Mark Waid and artist Marcio Takara. In February 2011, BOOM! re-branded the imprint as KaBOOM!, re-focusing the imprint to be truly appealing to all ages rather than only children.
BOOM! announced during the 2007 San Diego Comic Con the appointment of Mark Waid as Editor-in-Chief. In 2009, Waid created Irredeemable which became BOOM!'s longest-running series at that time, lasting 37 issues and the sister book Incorruptible.
After being promoted to Chief Creative Officer, Waid announced he would be leaving BOOM! to return to freelance work. Former Managing Editor Matt Gagnon was promoted to Editor-in-Chief.
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.
In 2013, Boom! acquired Archaia Studios Press merging it into BOOM! and retaining it as a stand-alone imprint.
In 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.

BOOM! generally does not focus on super-hero material but two of its original series, Irredeemable and Suicide Risk, have gathered accolades: Mark Waid's series Irredeemable ran for 37 issues generating 10 graphic novel collections and a sister series called Incorruptible ran 30 issues collected into 7 graphic novels.
