By Christopher Helton
It started with a tweet coming out of the Origins Game Fair this past weekend:

BOOM! Studios will be adapting the Munchkin card game from Steve Jackson Games into a monthly comic. The comic will feature four issue story arcs, be available in physical and digital form, and the physical comics will each come with a Munchkin card included. No word yet on when the comic will debut.
I will bring Bleeding Cool fans more information on this while at Gen Con in August.
