Ed Brisson of Sheltered and Sons of Anarchy fame has just announced a brand new project over at BOOM! Studios entitled Cluster. The book follows Samara, the leader of a group of cons. Samara...

This thing is going on with a new publisher called Joe Books, and the credits on Boom! Studio's long ago (2010) Darkwing Duck series. Yes. The Outhouse has a succinct round-up but as best as I can make out, here's what happened:

Boom! Studios is turning 10 in 2015, as we mentioned the other day. And Publisher Ross Richie has every right to make a victory lap—he;s stayed lean and smart, put out some good yarns, picked up some game-changing licenses such as Adventure Time, and even made a pretty good movie (Two Guns.) The 10th anniversary hoopla will be marked by special variant covers. Every new launch will have a special variant "10 Years" cover ... but perhaps it's best if I quote the press release to explain what is going on, because it's a little complicated. But I'm sure the covers will look very nice.

We haven't done a ton of solicitation listings at the Beat recently, but it's something we're going to start up again, because...well, look at all the nice art. Here are the #1s and the Kaboom and Boombox titles from Boom's January solicitations—new creator owned titles include Feathers, a smart looking new kids title, and Burning Fields, a caper with a burning Iraqi oil field as the setting. Also here are all the KaBOOM titles for January with as many variant covers as have been released by some funky fresh artists like Ian McGinty, Lorena Gomez and Christine Larsen.

Comics biggest distributor Diamond has slowly been working to make Halloween a huge promotional day for comics shops, with special comics, contests and more.

You can see a list of special Halloween comcis on the Halloween Comicfest website, such as this one spotlighting Boom! Studios spooky anthology with seasonal stories from Adventure Time, Fraggle Rock and more. This particular story features writing by Bryce Carlson and art by Frazer IRving in a VERY DIFFERENT Adventure Time story.

Boom! Studios has been teasing some kind of conspiracy book about the usual suspects today...

Let's start with that title, shall we? Calling a story "Six-Gun Gorilla" is a bold and audacious decision, one that's guaranteed to attract a specific kind of person and give many others pause. If you...
