BOOM! STUDIOS 2011 SPRING CATALOG

Top creators and diverse genres dominate the BOOM! Studios Spring 2011 lineup. Mark Waid’s Eisner Award-nominated IRREDEEMABLE and INCORRUPTIBLE continue to surprise reviewers and readers as it tears apart and rebuilds the superhero genre. HAWKS OF OUTREMER, Robert E. Howard’s compelling tale of bloodshed and revenge, follows in the footsteps of CONAN THE BARBARIAN. Kurt Busiek explores a modern struggle between corporate America and pop culture’s most notorious predator in DRACULA: THE COMPANY OF MONSTERS. Rockne S. O’Bannon’s FARSCAPE continues to pick up the story where the popular TV series left off. And we dig deeper into the world of Philip K. Dick with DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?: DUST TO DUST, the prequel to the work that spawned BLADE RUNNER.
