LOS ANGELES, CA (April 17, 2018)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>BOOM! Studios is proud to announceArchaia Summer Reading<\/em>, a week-long spotlight on the powerful original graphic novel releases from the award-winning imprint in the coming months.<\/p>\n

It all begins with an extended first look at\u00a0RUN WILD<\/strong>, an original graphic novel reuniting storytellers K.I. Zachopoulos and Vincenzo Balzano, the visionary creators of\u00a0The Cloud<\/em>. A haunting marriage of a chilling vision of the future and unforgettable characters combine to produce one of the most imaginative graphic fiction experiences of 2018.<\/p>\n

When all of civilization begins turning into animals, only two people remain–young siblings Ava and Flynn. On a desperate search for safety in an unpredictable and violent world, they\u2019ll traverse a wild and unruly landscape, make friends and foes of all species, and discover what really makes them human.<\/p>\n

\u201cRUN WILD<\/strong>\u00a0is above all an adventure story that examines the ties that bonds us as living creatures moving through the world, and the sacrifices we make so that others can truly thrive,\u201d said Sierra Hahn, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cOur mission for the Archaia imprint is to create immerse stories that can take us to new worlds, examine life through someone else\u2019s lens, and challenge expectation of what makes a great graphic novel–be it through talking animals in\u00a0RUN WILD<\/strong>, a largely silent sequential romp in\u00a0About Betty\u2019s Boob<\/em>, or in\u00a0Sanpaku,\u00a0<\/em>a prose-like meditation on the pitfalls of a theoretical illness of the same name.<\/p>\n

Archaia is home to sophisticated, high-end graphic novels such as\u00a0Mouse Guard<\/em>\u00a0by David Petersen,\u00a0The Realist\u00a0<\/em>by Asaf Hanuka and\u00a0Rust\u00a0<\/em>by Royden Lepp, along with series inspired by world-renowned, beloved properties like\u00a0Jim Henson\u2019s Fraggle Rock<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Jim Henson\u2019s Labyrinth: Coronation<\/em>. The Award-winning imprint has spawned a number of critically-acclaimed recent hits including\u00a0Jane\u00a0<\/em>by Aline Brosh McKenna and Ram\u00f3n K. P\u00e9rez in September 2017;\u00a0Bolivar\u00a0<\/em>by Sean Rubin in November 2017; and the upcoming\u00a0A Girl in The Himalayas<\/em>\u00a0by David Jesus Vignolli, available in stores this month.<\/p>\n

Print copies of\u00a0RUN WILD<\/strong>\u00a0will be available for sale in July 2018 at local comic book shops (use\u00a0comicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find the nearest one), bookstores or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and the BOOM! Studios app.<\/p>\n
