Clive Barker’s Hellraiser #1 Preview and Super-Bonus Prelude!

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: March 23, 2011

As a little kid, most of my favorite movies were either super-saccharine 90′s Disney flicks or the grisliest horror the 1980′s had to offer. Therefore, it is with great honor that I was able to secure a preview for BOOM! Studios’ Hellraiser #1, written by one of the masters of horror (and the series’ creator), [...]

Chip ‘N Dale Rescue Rangers #1: No Case Too Big, No Case Too Small

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: November 30, 2010

If you were born in the mid-8os like me, you have fond memories of watching the Disney Afternoon line-up of cartoons. Nothing beat coming home from first grade, plunking down in front of the TV, and binging on Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, TaleSpin, and Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers all in a row. BOOM! Studios has already [...]

Soldier Zero #1: Stan Lee! BOOM! C’mon!

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: October 20, 2010

It always kind of bums me out when two great things come out at once and only one of them gets a lick of attention. After twenty minutes in my local shop, it seemed like everybody was singing the praises of Kick-Ass 2 and nobody was talking about (or picking up, for that matter) BOOM! [...]

Dracula: The Company of Monsters #1 Preview!

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: August 24, 2010

Vampires are everywhere right now (really, X-Men? Really?) and when I saw that a book with a title like Dracula: The Company of Monsters was coming out on BOOM!, my first thought was, “Oh, shit, not you guys, too!” But then I saw a glimmer of hope shining through my funk of apathy for the [...]

High Five! Top Ten! – Most Important Gay Moments in Comics

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: June 14, 2010

Over the past couple months, some people have been going batshit crazy over the fact that Kevin Keller (who is – wait for it – GAY) transferred to Riverdale High to spend eternity in high school with Archie and the gang. Granted, this is a big step for a property that allowed Spire Christian Comics [...]

7 Psychopaths #1: My Favorite Non-Alcoholic French Import

Posted by: Robert Bazz on: May 24, 2010

I’ve always been a bit curious about foreign comics. Aside from a few old Astérix comics I’ve flipped through, I’m pretty much in the dark about any comics from the non-English speaking world. Meanwhile, over in France, Delcourt Productions has been reprinting translated versions of a bunch of American and Japanese comics including Invincible, The [...]

Creator Spotlight: Peter Krause

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: May 6, 2010

Heyo everybody! Jonny here. It’s no secret that here at High Five! we love us some BOOM! Studios. Recently I was given the opportunity to interview artist/writer Peter Krause whose work includes pencils for Irredeemable, The Power of Shazam!, and sundry 90s Star Trek comics. Published below is my Q&A session with Mr. Krause, conducted [...]

The Duck Knight Returns: Darkwing Duck Preview!

Posted by: Maggie_C on: April 28, 2010

Christmas came early this year! This morning, I woke up to a five page preview of BOOM! Studios‘ upcoming Darkwing Duck title. I’ve been a little nervous ever since the miniseries was announced because this thing has the potential to completely ruin my childhood. I needn’t have worried. Darkwing is safe under the stewardship of [...]

If you want your beloved Disney Afternoon heroes to come back to life in comic book form, apparently all you have to do is ask. Last October at Long Beach Comic Con, BOOM! Studios hosted a panel on their upcoming titles, including a few from their Disney line; Uncle Scrooge and Mickey Mouse. The second [...]

20 (Or So) Best Comics of the Decade: 4. Irredeemable

Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: March 9, 2010

What can I say about Mark Waid that I haven’t already said? When he took a job as editor in chief at BOOM! Studios I assumed Mark was settling down after a long career in comics with a fun job that would eventually end in retirement. I knew he was writing stuff like The Incredibles, [...]
