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.”
