Boom to Make New Original Graphic Novels Returnable – Hotel Dare and Plate Tectonics

Published Tue, 21 May 2019 11:30:47 -0500

Boom Studios had a lot to boast about at Diamond's Retail Summit, held in Las Vegas this weekend, including the stat that Boom had gained more market share than any other publisher in 2018, growing sales three times faster. Which is nice. You can follow the rest of Bleeding Cool's coverage of Diamond Retail Summit, far more than any other comics news site, right here.

They are also increasing their returnability programme – quite the theme for the weekend it seemed – by adding two original graphic novels, Hotel Dare and Plate Tectonics to their Guarantee Retailer Rewards Program. Snad stating that this is the first time that any American comics publisher has offered full returnability via affidavit on graphic novels. Which means that retaikers are trusted to destroy unsold copies and receive full credit for the cost, as they do with select single issues.

Talking of which, they stated that Kieron Gillen and Dan Mora's Once & Future King, previewed here pitting an ex-monster hunter and a museum curator against Nationalists using an ancient artifact to resurrect a villain from Arthurian myth — will have an extra-sized first issue, no variant covers, sliding discounts on #1, and full returnability on all 6 issues.

(W) Terry Blas (A/CA) Claudia Aguirre
OPEN THE DOOR. ADVENTURE AWAITS.
Olive and her adopted siblings, Charlotte and Darwin, are spending the summer with their estranged grandma at her creepy hotel, and it 's all work and no play. They're stuck inside doing boring chores until they stumble upon an incredible secret… behind each door of the hotel lies a portal to a strange and mysterious place.
The simple turn of a knob transports them to a distant magical world filled with space pirates. Behind the next door are bearded wizards. Down the hall is a doorway to a cotton-candied kingdom. But once the doors are open, worlds start colliding, and only one family can save them before the hotel tears itself apart.
