It’s funniest if you say it like Trey Parker as Matt Damon in ‘Team America: World Police.”
Knowing that a certain person entrenched with Boom! Studios is a good friend of Too Much Coffee Man creator Shannon Wheeler, it comes as no surprise that Boom! Town will offer up an animated Too Much Coffee Man mug.
BOOM! Town, a new imprint of BOOM! Studios, announced today the TOO MUCH COFFEE MAN “DEATH BEFORE DECAF†ANIMATED MUG.
“It animates when you put hot coffee into it!†Said Shannon Wheeler, creator of TOO MUCH COFFE MAN.

Late yesterday, Boom! Studios announced a new imprint for the company called Boom! Town. It will be Boom!’s home for high quality, lit-oriented comics. With the success of the Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep series, I expect we’ll see more of the same from the new imprint. Boom! Town joins Boom! Kids as the second imprint for the company.
The first John McClane story arc got off to a rough start, and now Boom! Studios delivers up a brand new tale of John McClane, New York City Detective. Will this issue kick ass, or get kicked to the curb?
Press Release
BOOM! Studios’ best-selling FARSCAPE series enters its second year with a fresh dose of bad attitude with the premiere of FARSCAPE: SCORPIUS – coming this April! Written by show creator Rockne S. O’Bannon, FARSCAPE: SCORPIUS brings one of the greatest sci-fi villains of all time to his own ongoing series.
An excellent new entry point for Farscape fans that might have missed the previous BOOM! Farscape series, FARSCAPE: SCORPIUS finds everyone’s favorite black leather clad villain – Scorpius – deposed from his throne on Hyneria and making a bold new discovery that could put him back on top of the Uncharted Territories!
Boom! Studios sent us this teaser image for an upcoming series. We don’t know any other details, but I wonder if it will be called “Mark Waid is Samuel L. Jackson”?
So any guesses? xXx, Jumper, the upcoming adaptation of Unthinkable, Shaft, or something else?
UPDATE: Diligent readers already spoiled the guessing game for everyone else, so…
COLD SPACE #1

Jackson and Emmy nominated writer/producer Eric Calderon, the team that brought you the Emmy-award-winning, best-selling Afro Samurai, comes their next original series Cold Space!

But in chaos lies opportunity… because where there’s war, there’s money to be made! A hard-boiled sci-fi action-adventure with art by Jeremy Rock and covers by Eisner Award-winning artist Dave Johnson and Irredeemable cover artist, Jeffrey Spokes!
