Comics News!

I have no idea who at work I'd share this with, since I'm the buyer for all the kids' graphic novels, but I thought it was worth linking: Boom! Studios, which makes all those great Pixar-related titles, has lost the Pixar license. The good news is that there is still going to be Pixar content, but it will be carried by Marvel (who is owned by Disney, who also owns Pixar). I'm not too thrilled with Marvel's print quality, since all the digests I've gotten from them for regular superhero titles fall apart far too quickly for library use. Some other good news (I have high hopes), is that Boom! will be carrying some kind of Peanuts (as in Charlie Brown, Snoopy, et. al.) titles in the future.
