Nu boom studios6/22/2023 The film's storyline, set in the near-future world of 1997, concerns a crime-ridden United States, which has converted Manhattan Island in New York City into the country's sole maximum security prison. Ironically, The Walt Disney Company later inherited a minority stake in Boom! Studios (which Fox acquired in June 2017 for $10 million) through the 21st Century Fox acquisition on March 20, 2019.Escape from New York is a 1981 American science fiction action film co-written, co-scored and directed by John Carpenter, and starring Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence, Isaac Hayes, Adrienne Barbeau and Harry Dean Stanton. The license to the "core four" titles was eventually picked up by IDW Publishing, while the comic book rights for the Disney Afternoon, Pixar, and the Muppets were licensed to Joe Books, which would reprint all but the last two issues of Boom!'s Darkwing Duck comic (in Darkwing Duck: The Definitively Dangerous Edition) and the first four issues of the Wall-E comic (as part of Disney-Pixar Comics Treasury). However, due to the reprints selling poorly, Marvel opted not to make any more comics with the characters, instead focusing on adapting Disney's theme park attractions for the Disney Kingdoms line. įor the next few years, some of the Pixar and Muppet comics were reprinted in magazines published by Marvel Comics, who also printed a few new comics based on Toy Story and Monsters, Inc., as well as the last story arc intended for The Muppet Show Comic Book. Disney, displeased with these missteps, pulled the plug on their deal with Boom!, and thus the Darkwing Duck and DuckTales comics had their final issues published in November of 2011. Furthermore, Boom!'s last few stories were published without being approved by Disney first. The Pixar and Muppet titles were inexplicably cancelled in late 2010, with The Incredibles comic ending on a cliffhanger, and Walt Disney's Comics and Stories, Uncle Scrooge, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers followed in July of that year. However, Boom!'s Disney comic line would not last long due to numerous breaches in their contract (contrary to popular belief, it was not due to Disney buying out Marvel Entertainment). This practice was eventually phased out for most of the books after July 2010, with only the Disney Afternoon titles continuing to have two covers for every issue, though special issues of the "core four" comics (such as Mickey Mouse's 300th issue and Uncle Scrooge's 400th) would still have at least one "deluxe" variant cover. Some issues also notably had copies with exclusive cover artwork at certain stores and conventions. After the successful launch of the Darkwing Duck comic, new comic books based on Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers and DuckTales were announced.įor their first year or so with the license, each issue of Boom!'s Disney comics was usually published with at least two different covers. At around the same time, old DuckTales comic stories, most of which had never been published in the United States before, were featured in issues 292-299 of Uncle Scrooge. The first of these was a new Darkwing Duck comic. In June of 2010, Boom! Studios began publishing comic books based on the Disney Afternoon. It was followed up with Boom! acquiring the continued publication of the "core four" Disney comic titles - Walt Disney's Comics and Stories, Uncle Scrooge, Mickey Mouse and Friends, and Donald Duck and Friends. In 2008, Boom! signed a deal with the Walt Disney Company to produce comic books based on their properties and secured newsstand distribution as part of their new kid-friendly imprint, BOOM Kids! This began with a line of 4-issue mini-series based on Pixar films and The Muppets in March 2009. 2.3 Classic Disney / Disney Afternoon titles.2 Disney comic titles published by Boom! Studios.
