Boom Studios New York Comic Con panel just ended.

No new titles have been announced, although they said a few things :

"With the success of Darkwing, they want to take things a step at a time and do things as great as they can be, and not stretch people's budgets too thin "

Someone at the panel asked about Talespin, they answered "Cannot confirm or deny Talespin but very interested in building on Disney afternoon properties" I'm so glad someone asked! (that goes to the bad tongues who implied there weren't enough people interested...in fact it seems it's ALWAYS the one people mention to Boom!)

Seems like they will release a new series every 6 months or so. Well it's both disappointing that we will have to wait that long (AT LEAST...), but reassuring that they want to bring more and with the best quality. But, what if Rescue Rangers don't sell as expected? I don't like being taken "hostage" like that, just so we can have the SLIGHTEST hope it could happen...

About the Boom Studios 2.0, that's a bunch of things :

"There will be a series of announcement, and this is the beginning of what is to come. Classic Disney characters will be coming each month, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Disney's characters in comics."
"Announcements about BOOM Kids! will be marching out through 2011 and will be epic."

I got confirmation of something I had already guessed, considering the 2011 sollicitations for Boom! comics :

Quote:

Although they’re still not talking about it, Boom has lost the Muppets/Pixar license as of the end of December, which is why there are no new solicitations in January. The biggest casualty of this is apparently Incredibles, which stopped abruptly at the end of issue #15, with the villains winning and the Incredibles despised by the public.

The regular Disney license is up with them this year, which is why, I suspect, they’re trying so hard to push the classic characters and piggyback on the success of Darkwing Duck. Having lost one portion of the license, I imagine they’re really trying to hold on to the othert portion, since it’s departure would mean that their kid’s line had no other properties.

I guess this is a bad news for Muppets and Pixar fans (although I'm sure another publisher will be glad to obtain the licence), but that is GREAT news for us TaleSpin fans!!! This leaves full open space for more Disney Afternoon comics!! And honestly, except maybe from Gargoyles, which other DA title could be more popular than a TaleSpin one?

I only hope they aren't going the bankrupt way though (but considering the Muppets/Pixar titles weren't selling THAT well - they were all doing much worse than Darkwing Duck - I currently don't worry too much) I would really hate to see a great opportunity like that disappear...an opportunity like that to revive an old franchise like TaleSpin doesn't appear more than once a decade...

Am I the only one surprised that Darkwing Duck, Ducktales and probably Rescue Rangers are all selling better than *Pixar* titles? Can you only imagine the effect new films based on Disney Afternoon titles could have, with the right marketing push??

Well I just posted a few hours ago, and here's another news...not good.
Mark Waid, the most important person at the company, is leaving : http://comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=29792

NOW I'm very worried for Boom future.

I certainly hope the demand for Disney comics continues. Knowing that their somewhat abandoned properties are being put out in comicbook forms is a good step forward; maybe if the demand gets higher and the sales meet, we might see the rest of the DVDs finally put out and completed. A lot of them are plain and bare bones without a special feature of any kind.

If it worked for Gargoyles, I'm sure they'll do fine with the rest. Wishful thinking on my part.
