LOS ANGELES, CA (July 29, 2019) – BOOM! Studios revealed a first look at GHOSTED IN LA #2, the latest issue in a brand new comic book series from GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer Sina Grace (Jughead’s Time Police) and artist Siobhan Keenan (Jem and the Holograms), about figuring out your love life - and your afterlife - in Hollywood, and available in stores August 14, 2019.

Having ghosts as roommates comes with its perks, as well as its downsides, but for Daphne Walters—new LA transplant, college freshman, and freshly dumped by her high school boyfriend, Ronnie—living at Rycroft Manor and getting acquainted with the ghostly tenants does a great job of distracting her from her recent breakup.  That is, until she sees Ronnie at school making friends and thriving without her, and Daphne needs a bigger, shinier distraction—which is how she ends up agreeing to a date with a pushy bro who’s all up in her space. What is Daphne thinking?! And will this date end in true love or a complete disaster? 

GHOSTED IN LA #2 features a main cover by series artist Siobhan Keenan and a variant cover by series writer Sina Grace.

GHOSTED IN LA is the latest release from BOOM! Studios’ award-winning BOOM! Box imprint, home to groundbreaking original series such as Lumberjanes by Shannon Watters, Grace Ellis, Brooklyn Allen, and Noelle Stevenson; Giant Days by John Allison, Lissa Treiman, and Max Sarin; The Avant-Guards by Carly Usdin and Noah Hayes; Misfit City by Kiwi Smith, Kurt Lustgarten, and Naomi Franquiz; Fenceby C.S. Pacat and Johanna The Mad; and Goldie Vance by Hope Larson and Brittney Williams. 

Print copies of GHOSTED IN LA #2 will be available for sale August 14, 2019 exclusively at local comic book shops (use comicshoplocator.com to find the nearest one). Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and the BOOM! Studios app.

PORTLAND, Ore. 07/29/2019 — Michel Fiffe’s critically-acclaimed superhero revenge series Copra will be returning with an all-new #1 launching this October from Image Comics.

“I’m beyond excited to be returning to my own characters with all-new stories,” said Fiffe. “It’s been a minute since I last worked on Copra, but I’m back with laser focus and all is right in the universe. This first issue picks up right where the previous volume left off, so it’s an accessible continuation of the original arc. The hardcore fans and the new readers will both love it.”

Fiffe has earned praise for his work on Zegas, GI Joe: Sierra Muerte, Bloodstrike Brutalists, and All-New Ultimates—but his creator-owned superhero series Copra is far and away his most renowned and sought-after work. The original sold-out 31-issue series ended on a cliffhanger, and fans have been clamoring for the next chapter ever since.

Fiffe added: “The original self-published series was recently made available again in five trade paperback collections from Image, so it’s the perfect time to start telling new stories again.”

Copra #1 (Diamond Code AUG190053) will hit stores on Wednesday, October 2 and features 36 pages written, drawn, colored, and lettered by Fiffe. The final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, September 9.

PORTLAND, Ore. 07/25/2019 — Bestselling comic book series Farmhand, created and illustrated by Rob Guillory, has been optioned for television development by AMC/AMC Studios. Guillory is set to write the pilot for the series and will executive produce alongside LaToya Morgan (The Walking Dead, Into the Badlands).

"I couldn’t be more thrilled to bring Farmhand to AMC,” said Guillory. "I knew if I was ever going to adapt Farmhand, I’d need partners whose bold vision preserved and complemented my own, and I’ve found that with LaToya Morgan and the fine folks at AMC. Their enthusiasm for this project has been absolutely infectious, and I think together we’re going to make a show that is very unique and very special."

Farmhand follows Jedidiah Jenkins, a simple farmer, but one whose cash crop isn’t corn or soy. He grows fast-healing, plug-and-play human organs. For years, Jed’s organic transplants have brought healing to many, but deep in the soil of the Jenkins Family Farm something sinister has taken root.

Guillory previously co-created and was the Eisner-award winning artist on the New York Times bestselling series Chew. He is represented by Anonymous Content & Myman Greenspan LLP.

The trade paperback of Farmhand, Vol. 1 (ISBN: 9781534309852) is available now and Farmhand, Vol. 2 (ISBN: 978-1534313323) will be available in September. It can be pre-ordered at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, IndieBound, and Indigo.
