Although the comics industry seems to be hitting a rough patch, one thing that I noticed at last week retailer summit is that a bunch of people have just been hired as staffers to actually work in the comics business! And interestingly, many of them are working directly with comics retailers. I think if you're going to invest money in your business at a time like this, investing in new employees who work directly with the people who buy your products is a pretty smart move. Here's the new faces:

Last week some of our most elite staffers that contribute to The Beat found themselves in an impossible situation. When our entire team worked on apprehending Spider-Man rogue Mysterio, he suddenly opened a portal...

Over the past few weeks, BOOM Studios has made a bevy of announcements to drum up excitement for their San Diego showings.  It's their tenth anniversary, and they're celebrating in style. First off, Grant Morrison...

Recently, James Tynion IV announced Cognetic, a new three issue limited series to be published by BOOM Studios.  Described as the spiritual successor to last year's breakout hit Memetic and the second in a trilogy of...

I imagine some people will be excited about Rebecca Sugar (Steven UNiverse) and Noelle Stevenson (Lumberjanes) being at the BOOM! booth; others perhaps by Bryan Cranston and Mia Furlan. What are Walter White and...

The West Coast editorial shuffle continues as star Dark Horse's editor Sierra Hahn has just moved over to BOOM! where she'll have the title of Senior Editor starting July 1st.

At Dark Horse she was the Joss Whedon wrangler as well as editor on projects including Green River Killer: A True Detective Story by Jeff Jensen and Jonathan Case, Two Brothers by Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá and more.

WonderCon brings together an eclectic mix of all-ages books creators.

Bryce Carlson writes a story for California history buffs. You’ll see a lot of seediness, which marred an influential period in the economic and social development of Los Angeles. In a book like this you won’t always be able to tell the good guys from the bad, and that’s the mark of any good noir.

I wanted to like Bill and Ted's Most Triumphant Return #1. And for the most part, I did. It's got View Askew Productions veteran Brian Lynch on writing duties, who has done solid work for IDW's Buffy the Vampire Slayer series spin-off Spike: Asylum. It's got the art of Jerry Gaylord, who has lovingly personified other franchises like TMNT and Adventure Time. Yet while Bill and Ted were very much themselves, they also seemed to lose a little something in the translation.

Last month, via the BOOM! Studios PR mailing list, I received a letter, containing a copy of a guest editorial by Ross Richie, CEO and founder. You can read it here.  Go ahead... I'll wait. Here's his reason...
