I linked through to the entry just now but haven't created it (as it isn't out yet for one). Here are some details [1] [2] [3] and I have suggested here that a Warhammer 40,000 (comic book) is also started to cover this and previous publications. ( Emperor 04:05, 19 November 2006 (UTC))

There have been a number of recent attempts to remove information regarding Andrew Cosby, his status as Boom! Studios co-founder and contributions he has made to the company since its inception, despite numerous reputable sources citing the validity of this information, including Boom's own publications, where Mr. Cosby was listed as co-founder for years prior to his leaving the company in 2010, Andrew Cosby's wikipedia page [4] (which was originally established by Ross Richie (Boom's other co-founder and current CEO), various interviews with both co-founders, [5] [6], and press from reliable sources both online and in print. [7] [8] [9] Even Bloomberg's Executive Report lists Andrew Cosby as Boom! Studios' co-founder.

There have been repeated attempts to remove information regarding Andrew Cosby, his status as Boom! Studios co-founder and contributions he has made to the company since its inception. Andrew Cosby made clear his role as Boom! Studios co-founder in a recent interview with Wired, [11]in which he clearly states, "The company’s first book was Zombie Tales, which I created after a panicked phone call from Ross, who had agreed to do an anthology but was worried that it wouldn’t sell. So I came up with Zombie Tales right there on the spot, knowing that it would be creatively cool and financially less risky to do an anthology with a built-in audience. Plus, we had plenty of writer friends willing to do stories for us, so it was, if you’ll pardon the pun, a no-brainer. At the time, there wasn’t a glut of zombie stuff out there (believe it or not), so the book was a big success. But the company still needed real funding. Fortunately, my in-laws were running a brokerage firm at the time and were looking to invest in an interesting media venture. They wanted me to start a production company, but I convinced them to fund a comic book company instead. The rest, as they say, is history." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthsayer2012 ( talk • contribs) 18:34, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
I would like to add that this is same Rossrichie who originally set up Andrew Cosby's wiki page, in which he listed Mr. Cosby as Boom's co-founder in this edit. It should be further noted that these continued edits by Njkaters have not only attempted to alter Mr. Cosby's co-founder status, but have actually removed any mention of him and his contributions to the company, all of which have been in place and properly sourced on this page for years. Truthsayer2012 ( talk) 18:06, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Here are some more sources citing Andrew Cosby's long-standing status as Boom! Studios co-founder: Comic Vine [12], Reuters [13], GeekWeek [14], Eureka wiki [15], Big Air Studios [16], Variety [17] and Comic Book Resources [18]. There are many others, and I am currently trying to find links to Boom's interior/indicia, which credited Mr. Cosby as co-founder for years. Truthsayer2012 ( talk) 06:28, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Please stop making unnecessary edits to the Boom! Studios page. Your continued efforts to remove Andrew Cosby seem malicious and against Wikipedia standards and practices. If you have a problem with Mr. Cosby, please deal with it in another manner. Thank you. Truthsayer2012 ( talk) 18:13, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
I have protected this page until March 8 to allow parties to come to an agreement about this set of changes, which appears to be controversial seeing as this is the second edit war it has inspired. What you should do is discuss this change here on the talk page and try to develop a consensus about the change, perhaps with help from a request for comment, a couple of third opinions, or one of the options listed at WP:SEEKHELP. What not to do is wait until the protection expires and then continue to edit war over the issue, as that will only result in more trouble and possible blocks for one or more parties. For convenience I have created a section below for discussion to occur in, so please take advantage of it. Thanks, Ks0stm ( T• C• G• E) 19:07, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Though properly sourced, the Award nomination section is a bit lengthy. My question is - should it remain on the page? I would argue that list could be removed because they are only nominations, not actual awards won, thus not significantly notable. Plus there is an awards section right above it.

User:Trivialist has suggested the merge of List of television series and films based on Boom! Studios publications. That's not unreasonable but I'd rather have the list separate since Boom! Studios is already quite long. There are many equivalent standalone lists for other comics publishers such as List of television series and films based on Archie Comics publications, List of television series and films based on Harvey Comics publications and List of television series and films based on Dark Horse Comics publications (though this one is significantly longer) which indicates that this is a sensible way of organizing content.

I'm working on editing the awards/nominations sections into a table
Also, in light of allegations of exploitative business [1] practices [2], particularly relating to the #PublishingPaidMe hashtag [3] and the Keanu Reeves Kickstarter [4], I think it would be helpful to add a controversies section.

The references to these two PR campaigns don't seem to me to add much to the article. Removing them would probably help move this article towards being able to remove the advertisement and puffery tags from the top. Does anyone object to their removal? Alternately, could someone rewrite them to make it more clear what their significance is? Klintron23 ( talk) 22:33, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
Following the death of late Adventure Time artist Ian McGinty, many comics creators shared their stories of high-stress, low-pay comics gigs under the hashtag "#ComicsBrokeMe," which ended up trending. Some, notably Heidi MacDonald at The Beat and the Publishers Weekly podcast More to Come, noted that Boom! Studios was criticized for underpaying artists. ("The company that came in for the most naming and shaming was BOOM! Studios" she says at 15:25 in the podcast)
https://www.comicsbeat.com/cartoonists-death-inspires-comicsbrokeme-hashtag-and-a-call-for-better-working-conditions/ https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/podcasts/index.html?channel=2&podcast=1262
Previously, Boom! Studios was heavily criticized for paying low rates in page rate surveys published in 2015 and 2016 ( https://fairpagerates.com/). The survey itself probably doesn't count as a reliable source, but MacDonald covered the 2016 numbers: https://www.comicsbeat.com/page-rates-whats-fair-is-fair-except-when-it-isnt/
I'm wondering whether this is noteworthy enough for inclusion in this article. It seems important, but while The Beat and MacDonald are generally considered reliable sources, I worry that her sourcing here is a little thin. Also, while there were a few other stories about the hashtag, others didn't highlight Boom! in particular. The fair page rate survey, which had a fairly small sample size, doesn't appear to have received a lot of coverage. David Harper also did a survey in 2015 (https://sktchd.com/longform/whats-the-life-of-a-comic-artist-like/), which MacDonald covered https://www.comicsbeat.com/being-a-cartoonist-by-the-numbers-and-the-numbers-are-ugly/
I'd feel more comfortable adding this if anyone else has any additional coverage from other reliable publications, as opposed to sourcing all of this to the coverage of one journalist, however highly respected she is. Klintron23 ( talk) 00:31, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

User:Trivialist has suggested the merge of List of television series and films based on Boom! Studios publications. That's not unreasonable but I'd rather have the list separate since Boom! Studios is already quite long. There are many equivalent standalone lists for other comics publishers such as List of television series and films based on Archie Comics publications, List of television series and films based on Harvey Comics publications and List of television series and films based on Dark Horse Comics publications (though this one is significantly longer) which indicates that this is a sensible way of organizing content.

I'm working on editing the awards/nominations sections into a table
Also, in light of allegations of exploitative business [1] practices [2], particularly relating to the #PublishingPaidMe hashtag [3] and the Keanu Reeves Kickstarter [4], I think it would be helpful to add a controversies section.

The references to these two PR campaigns don't seem to me to add much to the article. Removing them would probably help move this article towards being able to remove the advertisement and puffery tags from the top. Does anyone object to their removal? Alternately, could someone rewrite them to make it more clear what their significance is? Klintron23 ( talk) 22:33, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
Following the death of late Adventure Time artist Ian McGinty, many comics creators shared their stories of high-stress, low-pay comics gigs under the hashtag "#ComicsBrokeMe," which ended up trending. Some, notably Heidi MacDonald at The Beat and the Publishers Weekly podcast More to Come, noted that Boom! Studios was criticized for underpaying artists. ("The company that came in for the most naming and shaming was BOOM! Studios" she says at 15:25 in the podcast)
https://www.comicsbeat.com/cartoonists-death-inspires-comicsbrokeme-hashtag-and-a-call-for-better-working-conditions/ https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/podcasts/index.html?channel=2&podcast=1262
Previously, Boom! Studios was heavily criticized for paying low rates in page rate surveys published in 2015 and 2016 ( https://fairpagerates.com/). The survey itself probably doesn't count as a reliable source, but MacDonald covered the 2016 numbers: https://www.comicsbeat.com/page-rates-whats-fair-is-fair-except-when-it-isnt/
I'm wondering whether this is noteworthy enough for inclusion in this article. It seems important, but while The Beat and MacDonald are generally considered reliable sources, I worry that her sourcing here is a little thin. Also, while there were a few other stories about the hashtag, others didn't highlight Boom! in particular. The fair page rate survey, which had a fairly small sample size, doesn't appear to have received a lot of coverage. David Harper also did a survey in 2015 (https://sktchd.com/longform/whats-the-life-of-a-comic-artist-like/), which MacDonald covered https://www.comicsbeat.com/being-a-cartoonist-by-the-numbers-and-the-numbers-are-ugly/
I'd feel more comfortable adding this if anyone else has any additional coverage from other reliable publications, as opposed to sourcing all of this to the coverage of one journalist, however highly respected she is. Klintron23 ( talk) 00:31, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
