KaBOOM! Studios Goes Regular Show

KaBOOM! Studios is filled with a bunch of regular folks. They're making regular comics, with nothing really to see about them. Standard, comics. Or are they that only in name? The latter seems to be the case, as the publisher is all set to launch Regular Show, a new comic based on the Cartoon Network animated series created by J.C. Quintel. It'll be written by K.C. Green and illustrated by Allison Strejlau.

“It's exciting to be able to work on this comic as I am a fan of the show. Probably the funnest part is going back over the episodes again for inspiration (and just enjoying them also)," commented writer Green, "Plenty of ideas popping up just working on writing them down and getting the voices of each character just right. That is important, especially with this project."

Join Mordecai, a blue jay and Rigby, a raccoon, a couple of best bros in their twenties just tryin’ to chill for a bit. But when you’re livin’ in as crazy a world as they are, no day can be called regular though. The fact that the book will feature covers by Nick Edwards, Nathan Fox, Phil McAndrew, John Allison, Noelle Stevenson, Chuck BB, Chris Houghton and Dustin Nguyen make the book even less regular.

"I’m really excited to see Regular Show in comic form," added creator Quintel. "Can’t wait to see what K.C. Green does with it. As someone who also only has two letters for a first name, I’m sure he’s going to make it awesome."

Regular Show #1 is available for order under Diamond Code FEB130826-28. The complete box set comes in a shrink-wrapped commemorative slipcase that retails for $24.99 and is available for order under Diamond Code FEB130829.
