Via the pull box and a copy of White Boat by Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla.

Chip Mosher posted to social media, "The DSTLRY_Media founders went to a comic shop in LA and had a little fun with my old boss Ross Richie. New Rule: Don't have your pull box name public facing! LOL!"

"I hope the PRH news is good news for the team over there. As we started up DSTLRY, I couldn't help but think a lot about my time at BOOM! Some of the things there I'm incredibly proud of… top of that list is talent scouting Matt Gagnon, Bryce Carlson, Dafna Pleban, Eric Harburn, Ivan Salazar, Kate Hayden, & Devin Funches… to name a few. It was great to give these folks chances and then see them flourish… and then see them flourish further in the industry at Viz, Kodansha, ComiXolgoy, Tiny Onion, Diamond Books and beyond.

"My time at BOOM! was impactful to me, and I would like to think that I had an impact on the operation there… It's been great to watch the company grow after I departed and become an even bigger juggernaut then when I left. (You see what I did there, right?) Hats off to BOOM! And again hope that this is good for all the people that worked so hard to make that company what it is. Funny how the world works that this happens the day DSTLRY announces we are now distributing to the Direct Market exclusively with Diamond!"
