BOOM! Studios Announces New Full-Color Edition of Pizzeria Kamikaze from Etgar Keret and Asaf Hanuka

Press Release

BOOM! Studios is excited to announce the addition of PIZZERIA KAMIKAZE, the haunting, sometimes surreal graphic novel by award-winning writer Etgar Keret (The Seven Good Years) and Eisner Award-winning cartoonist Asaf Hanuka (The Realist), to its Archaia imprint. The new edition will debut in February 2018 and will be presented in full color and in prestigious hardcover for the first time. This unexpectedly powerful story of love, loss, and escape was first published in black and white by Alternative Comics in 2006 and is based on Keret’s own short story, Kneller’s Happy Campers, which also served as the basis for the independent film, Goran Dukić’s Wristcutters: A Love Story.

Review: Bumstorm: A Snake Amongst The Wind Farm

By Oliver Gerlach

The vast majority of the indie comics I end up reviewing seem to be serious high concept low sci-fi adventures about serious white men. That honestly gets a bit dull after a while, so sometimes a palate cleanser is in order. Bumstorm #3: A Snake Amongst the Wind Farm certainly cleanses the palate. It’s not grim, it’s not serious, it’s not clever or even slightly pretentious; it’s just stupid as hell and out to have a good time.

Review: Clue #4

By Ashley Gibbs

We’ve reached issue four of the series and with only two remaining, things should be picking up to get readers pumped, except Clue #4 had the opposite effect on me. This issue didn’t move things along very much, and anything exciting that did happen was quickly brushed over. Two major characters seemingly die and it’s wrapped up in maybe two panels, though given how incompetent everyone in the story is, I’m not even sure if they killed each other properly. I went into this series with rose-colored nostalgia glasses, but the memory is fading, into gray disappointment.

Review: Mech Cadet Yu #2

By Daniel Vlasaty

I really enjoyed the first issue of Mech Cadet Yu when it came out last month. I thought it was a solid opening issue. And I was excited to jump back into this “boy and his giant robot” story.  I wanted to see how Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa continued to grow this story that is not entirely unique or original but is still being presented interestingly and engagingly.

Review: Wolfenstein #1

By Dustin Cabeal

Remember the first Wolfenstein game for the original X-Box? That shit was great, in fact, that was the last time that Wolfenstein as a franchise was great. Everything since has been utter crap, and this comic is no different. Sigh, I shouldn’t say that. This comic isn’t terrible, but it’s not good either.

Review: Justice League of America #14

By Jonathan Edwards

Of course, Lobo isn't dead. I mean, there was absolutely no chance that DC would okay him being killed off in a random issue of JLA. Furthermore, it's clear from all of the cookie cutter conversations that he and Batman have had that Orlando is fully intent on having Lobo stick around for whatever "big" thing the Caped Crusader keeps insisting is on the horizon. So then why even have him be struck be "atomic lightning" in the first place? All it does is create inconsistencies within the story.
