Sierra is a phenomenal addition to our team who will make an impact on day one. In her role as Senior Editor she'll be bringing in new projects, helping mentor some of the younger editors on our staff, and be an important voice for our company on new projects, initiatives, and throughout the industry at large. One of our core missions at BOOM! is to help build a better, healthier industry for everybody who loves comics; Sierra not only shares that sensibility, she's an important part of helping all of us move closer to our goals.

Hahn, who begins with the publisher in July, talked about what drew her to Boom!:

With titles like Lumberjanes, Bee and Puppycat, Giant Days, The Fiction, and the upcoming Strange Fruit, BOOM! Studios consistently delivers fun, edgy, and unexpected books. Their growing backlist brings a wide range of exceptional talent to readers of all ages and tastes, but their monthly titles for kids and young adult readers are especially compelling for me. I'm honored to be part of this innovative, tight-knit publishing house.
