Boom! Power Rangers are Back

powerranger

BOOM! Studios has announced that it now has the license for the Saban Brands to begin producing new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic books.  The first promotional material, in the form of separate one page comics, will be at the San Diego Comic Con this year.  So all you Rangers fans “It’s Morphin’ Time!”

Sons of Anarchy in Comics

Boom! Studios have picked up the rights to FX’s Sons of Anarchy.  The projected distribution date is set for September.  Once enough material is published you can expect a graphic novel, which will probably be in the first or second quarter of 2014.  Just by seeing the show a few times this title will probably be placed in the “Mature or Adult” Collection.

Boom not Soliciting Classic Disney Titles

For librarians ordering classic Disney comics from Boom Studios they will need to look elsewhere now.  ICv2’s site is reporting that Boom has no solicitations for July for any of the classic Disney characters.  However, librarians don’t groan to much.  I believe that Marvel will be picking these titles up, since Disney owns Marvel to keep the publishing in-house.  Boom still has the Rescue Rangers, Ducktales and Darkwing Duck titles, but I wouldn’t be surprised that when the license agreements are up Disney will move them over to their Marvel publishing branch.

Cars 2 Posters and Trailer

ICv2 has images of Cars 2 movie posters two are above link below to see the other two at ICv2’s site.  Also enjoy the trailer below for Cars 2.  The first movie and the upcoming movie are great to use to cross promote your dvd collection and children graphic novels in your library’s collection.  Boom Studios did have the rights for Pixar, but it is now shifting to Marvel.  However, Disney’s other properties are still at Boom Studios! Thanks to Yahoo! Movies for the trailer.

New Collected Editions

Here are four collected trades that libraries might be interested in.  Incredibles, Vol. 5 is available from Boom Studios which would be a good addition to your library’s children graphic novel collection.  DC has Noche Roja which would appeal to your crime fiction fans.  However, Noche Roja is definitely one for the mature reader.  Image is rolling out Morning Glories, Vol. 1 – For a Better Future which will appeal to your Teen/Young Adult readers.  Morning Glories is set in a private high school academy with that touch of supernatural.  The other title libraries might be interested in would be Fringe: Tales from the Fringe.  This will be one of those editions that librarians can use to cross promote within your library between the TV series, books and graphic novels.
