About BOOM! Studios

2019 saw BOOM!’s biggest publishing year ever as new original series grew 63% boosted by hits like Diamond Gem Awards “Comic Book of the Year” and “Best New Comic Series” winner Once & Future and Something Is Killing the Children from Diamond Gem, GLAAD Media, and Prism Award-winner author James Tynion IV. For 9 of the past 11 years BOOM! has won “Best Publisher (under 3%)” in the prestigious Diamond Gem Awards. BOOM!’s feature film first look deal remains at 20th Century Studios/The Walt Disney Company through January 2021. In August the studio will release BOOM!’s supernatural thriller The Empty Man. 20th Century Fox bought a non-controlling minority stake in BOOM! in 2017 to secure a franchise pipeline. The result, a greenlit $150m Mouse Guard movie with Matt Reeves producing and Wes Ball directing, was canceled by Disney two weeks from production in 2019. Moving beyond 20th Century Studios, BOOM! set up a slate across town that includes the feature film Memetic with Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg producing andThe Batman screenwriter Mattson Tomlin at Lionsgate; along with a slew of TV projects to Amazon, HBO Max, Peacock, CBS All Access, Disney+, and the publisher’s new home – Netflix. BOOM! has close to 20 movies and TV shows in development currently.
