With all the news that has been going on with Disney buying Marvel Comics, I thought that it would be nice to take a look at some of the Disney books that have been put out recently by Boom! Kids, who currently hold the license for several Disney and Pixar Books.  With Victoria recently reviewing the first issue of Monster’s Inc, and Stephen having reviewed the first issue of The Incredibles: Family Matters, I thought that I would take the time to review Finding Nemo: Reef Rescue #3, which was release September 10th at comic stores everywhere. Did the issue sink or swim? Read on to find out…

Boom! Comics Now at Disney Soda Fountain and Studio Store

Posted on by

Here’s an interesting bit of news from Boom! Studios; their kids line of comics will be appearing on the store shelves of the Disney Soda Fountain and Studio Store, right next door to the El Capitan Theatre.  Talk about perfect placement to sell you products!

There’s a reason we like Boom! Studios, they are the small guy that is making it big, by doing the right thing.  Where will this deal lead?  I can see the Boom!/Disney relationship expand even further, and it will not come as any surprise when the company announces it will handle all the Disney comics.

Complete press release after the jump.

It’s been a very good week for Boom! Studios.  First it announced a new imprint – Boom! Kids – that will house the company’s kid friendly titles.  The company then followed up by announcing a distribution deal with Kable Distribution Services, Inc., which will get those Boom! Kids titles onto newsstands across the country.

“We want to get our line of Pixar/Disney comics into the hands of every child out there,” said Ross Richie, Co-Founder and Publisher of BOOM! Studios. “Working with KDS, who has a strong record with handling kids comics in the newsstand market, I am confident that we will meet that goal.”

That very cool news was topped late yesterday with the announcement that The Incredibles: Family Matters #1 and The Muppet Show Comic Book #1 sold out on the day of release.

Boom! Studios sent us a quick note to let us know that its Disney/Pixar books (The Incredibles: Family Matters, Cars: The Rookie  and The Muppet Show) will all feature a $2.99 price tag when they ship in March.  While the price may seem a tad high for a kid’s comic, remember the “standard” price for comics is now firmly in the $3.99 realm, with many smaller publishers opting to make $3.50 their starting point for issues.
