Out of the smaller press comes huge news – BOOM! Studios has merged with Archaia Entertainment.

BOOM! Studios will remain the overseeing company and Archaia will become an imprint within the company allowing them to remain distinct from Boom!’s core titles. With the acquisition of Archaia, BOOM!’s catalog of intellectual property becomes the largest independent company-controlled comic book and graphic novel library behind only DC & Marvel. That is an impressive catalog.
