Kieron Gillen & Dan Mora\u2019s Hotly Anticipated Original Series Debuts in August 2019<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

BOOM! Studios and ComicHub today announced a new partnership for comic shop retailers in support of\u00a0ONCE & FUTURE #1<\/em>, kicking off the year\u2019s most anticipated new series from New York Times bestselling writer Kieron Gillen (The Wicked + The Divine, Star Wars<\/em>) and Russ Manning Award-winning artist Dan Mora (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Klaus<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Through this partnership, BOOM! Studios will pair its industry-leading retailer incentives in support\u00a0ONCE & FUTURE\u00a0<\/em>with the burgeoning international reach of ComicHub\u2019s network of comic book specialty stores to directly promote the series to customers utilizing the platform. Additionally, retailers who are also members of theBOOM! Guarantee program<\/a>, the industry\u2019s gold standard for returnability programs, can sign up for ComicHub and receive $100 off \u00a0their startup fee when they sign up at\u00a0Retailer.Comichub.com<\/a>. The combination of risk-free, affidavit returns on the entire\u00a0ONCE & FUTURE<\/em>\u00a0comic series and eventual collection combined with ComicHub\u2019s next generation suite of customer, retailer, and publisher tools will allow the publisher to assist retailers directly in maximizing their sell through at launch.<\/p>\n

Debuting in August 2019,\u00a0ONCE & FUTURE<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>explores the mysteries of the past, the complicated truths of our history and the power of family to save the day\u2026especially if that family has secret bunkers of ancient weapons and decades of experience hunting the greatest monsters in Britain\u2019s history!<\/p>\n

When a group of Nationalists use an ancient artifact to bring a villain from Arthurian myth back from the dead to gain power, ex-monster hunter Bridgette McGuire pulls her unsuspecting grandson Duncan, a museum curator, into a world of magic and mysticism to defeat a legendary threat. Now the two must navigate the complicated history of the McGuire family and combat the deadly secrets of England\u2019s past that threaten its very future.<\/p>\n

\u201cBOOM! Studios has long been comic book retailers’ best partner. ComicHub is part of the evolution of how comic publishers and comic shops will partner with each other in the future,\u201d said Filip Sablik, President of Publishing & Marketing, BOOM! Studios. \u201cThe combination of BOOM!’s Guarantee program, the best returnability program in the industry, and ComicHub is potentially game-changing by allowing us to reduce risk for our retail partners and help them sell through their inventory ofONCE & FUTURE<\/em>\u00a0for even greater success!\u201d<\/p>\n

This partnership, the first between ComicHub and a comic book publisher, lines up perfectly with the company\u2019s stated goal to \u201censure the print comic industry continues to thrive in the digital era\u201d. With innovative data technology and services that ensure that comics retailers give the very best service available to their customers, ComicHub has quickly made a name for itself as the newest standard for Retail Information Flow and Point Of Sale services in the comics industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission with ComicHub is to not only supply comics retailers with modern information tools to manage and promote their stores, but to also engage publishers in the information management for stores, marketing to promote directly to BUYING customers, and to provide transparency in the sell-through information flow,\u201d said ComicHub\u2019s Head of Sales, Atom! Freeman. \u201cIn BOOM! Studios, we found a partner who values both the conduit of information to retailers and fans and the insight into how their books are actually being sold.\u201d<\/p>\n
