The shelves are inundated with books of all shapes and sizes, and it can be hard trying to find the book that your child […]
Last July, Boom Studios announced that it would be teaming up with Disney to produce a series of comics based on Pixar properties. Former Tokyopop editor Paul Morrissey is heading up the line, and I spoke to him shortly after the announcement about where the line is headed, then updated the information in late October […]
