Remember the days when you’d carefully curate a song list
and pass out mix tapes to your friends? Well, this December, BOOM! Box, the
newest imprint from award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios, is putting that same
love into comic form with the oversized (8.5” x 11”) BOOM! Box 2014 Mix Tape
#1. Featuring new shorts from BOOM! Box comics Lumberjanes, The Midas Flesh,
Teen Dog, and Cyanide & Happiness, and showcasing upcoming comics Help Us!
Great Warrior and Munchkin, this is a collection of the best comics of 2014
that are truly made “for the love of it.”
“This is one of the most unique collections of short comic
book stories you’ll see this year,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt
Gagnon. “The Mix Tape is our love letter to experimental comics and a platform
for the BOOM! Box family of creators to cut loose!”
If you’re loving The Midas Flesh, Lumberjanes, Teen Dog, and
Cyanide & Happiness, and are excited for our comics adaptation of the
Munchkin card game, delve into a world of like-minded stories! From the wacky
to the touching, you’ll never know what you’re going to get. Here's a tip: This
collection features a brand-new Lumberjanes story written by Noelle Stevenson
(Nimona) and the first-ever Munchkin comic by John Kovalic, the illustrator of
the popular card game.
We reached out to a bunch of our favorite creators with one
mission in mind: to bring original, unconventional characters and stories to
life. Mix Tape is an eclectic collection of stories based on characters that
are anything but your average lot. Talking hamburgers, misunderstood ghosts,
and punk rock grandmas are just the tip of these stories that are best
described as “off the beaten track.”
The oversized BOOM! Box 2014 Mix Tape #1 arrives from BOOM!
Box in comic shops on December 24th with a cover price of $9.99. Both the main cover and the retailer incentive cover are
illustrated by Jake Lawrence (Teen Dog).
