Sam Humphries And Caitlin Rose Boyle's New Comic, Jonesy, 'Shipping' From Boom In 2016

Announced at the Baltimore Diamond Retailer Summit, coming from Boom in February, is mini-series Jonesey by Sam Humphries and Caitlin Rose Boyle about a teenage girl with the power to make people fall in love.

Jonesy comes from Boom's BOOM! Box imprint, and has a PR-embargoed puff piece with Humphries over at CBR…

This was actually one of those fabled ideas that occurred… in the shower! Me and my friends used to joke about "shipping" — the phenomena of wishing for a relation-"ship" to develop, traditionally between two fictional characters. But our jokes would be like, "Hey, I ship you with a fart" and go from there. You know, only the top shelf jokes!

Then, in the shower, I thought, hey what if shipping worked like… a superpower? What if it workedon anyone? You could make anyone fall in love with anyone else! And instantly I had the character of Jonesy in my head — someone who would simultaneously be the best and worst person to have this power. I saw someone say once that shipping is beautiful because it's falling in love with people falling in love. And it's so true! It really is beautiful. What an amazing, hopeful, human thing to feel.
