University Life Gets Weird in New BOOM! Box Title from John Allison, Giant Days
Going off to university is always a time of change and growth, but for Esther, Susan, and Daisy, things are about to get a little weird. In March, BOOM! Box, an imprint of BOOM! Studios, debuts Giant Days, a new limited series from longtime webcomic creator John Allison and Disney artist Lissa Treiman. Combining the humor of Lumberjanes, the sharp wit of Scott Pilgrim, and the positive power of relationships present in Faith Erin Hicks’ Friends With Boys, Giant Days is a quirky coming-of-age adventure.
Susan, Esther, and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends because their dorm rooms were next to each other. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. But in the face of hand-wringing boys, “personal experimentation,” influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of “academia,” they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive.
Giant Days #1 arrives in comic shops on March 18th with a main cover by series artist Lissa Treiman for the price of $3.99 under Diamond order code JAN151155. Also available in a limited quantity are a 10 Years Anniversary incentive cover by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb, and a retailer incentive cover by Meredith Gran.
