BOOM! STUDIOS' MISFIT CITY

BOOM! Studios has announced a May launch for Misfit City, a monthly comic book series from screenwriter Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith and Kurt Lustgarten, along with artist Naomi Franquiz.

Here's how the book is described:

"Nothing's happened in Wilder's hometown since they filmed that cult kids' adventure movie there in the '80s...but that's ancient history. Until one day, she and her friends come upon a centuries-old treasure map drawn by the infamous pirate Black Mary...and they find themselves on a real-life adventure in the town they dreamed of escaping."

"Much like our heroines, I grew up in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, yearning to have a life-changing experience," Smith said.

"Everyone wishes their town harbored a deep dark secret, and for the girls of Cannon Cove, it does," said Lustgarten of the particular tone of the book. “We wanted to evoke the feel of every great 1980s kids classic adventure movie with a riot grrrl twist."

"Other than the guaranteed shenanigans I'm excited to draw in Misfit City, I mostly look forward to drawing a diverse and body-positive cast of characters that I hope young readers can really see themselves in. Plus, all faces of the cutest dog ever, Pippin!" Franquiz said. "Out of our main characters, I relate to Wilder most. I'm from a small-town city with a population that fluctuates every football season, so the urge to escape and do more is strong. I love her ambition and drive, and I think the internal conflict she's setting herself up for is something I see reflected in many people (including myself)."

Misfit City #1 will feature a main cover by Franquiz, along with a variant cover by Ester Zejn and a treasure map variant by Paulina Ganucheau.
