SDCC Offers Lumberjanes Scout Patches

Lumberjanes SDCC Badges

If comic book readers earned badges, everyone would want the SDCC badge, proving they braved the madness at the show at least once. There would be other badges worth their weight, especially those tied to a book somewhat about camping from BOOM! Studios called Lumberjanes. And at the publisher's booth #2229 at the big show, fans will be able to get their hands on an exclusive set of badges.

The patches are based on the unique badges that have been a prominent feature of the book created by Shannon Watters, Grace Ellis and Noelle Stevenson (and illustrated by Brooke Allen), in which the five main characters—Molly, Mal, April, Jo, and Ripley—earn them for their different achievements while away at Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet’s Camp for “Hardcore Lady Types.” Each iron-on patch is a perfect embroidered replica of the badges featured in the book, which were designed by artist Kate Leth. The set will include the following patches:

Naval Gauging Badge - Awarded for proficiency in canoeing...and of course, for successfully navigating monster-infested waters

Pungeon Master Badge - Awarded for being exceptionally pun-ny

Up All Night Badge - Awarded for staying awake all night and up out of your bed after lights out

Exclusive San Diego Comic-Con Badge - To be revealed!

The Lumberjanes Scout Patches Set will retail for $20 and will be available for sale at BOOM! Studios’ San Diego Comic-Con booth (#2229), while supplies last. Subsequent badges will be available in the coming months on a unit basis from the BOOM! Studios webstore for $6 each, which includes a $1 shipping charge.

Lumberjanes #4 arrives in comic shops on July 9th with a cover price of $3.99 under Diamond Order Code MAY141177. It features a main cover illustrated by Stevenson and a retailer incentive cover by Kris Anka. In addition, as a testament to the growing popularity of the series since its launch in April, BOOM! Box revealed that pre-release orders for issue #4 have exceeded that of issue #1, a rare achievement for non-#1 issues.
