BOOM! Signature Series Pre-Order

New for 2014 at conventions, BOOM! announces the creation of the BOOM! Signature Series.

The Signature Series section of the store offers product signed by talent attending conventions where BOOM! is exhibiting. Pre-orders are limited to just 30 quantities of each item and are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Amazing Arizona Comic Con’s Signature Series items include: REVELATIONS #1 signed by writer Paul Jenkins ($14), BRAVEST WARRIORS #13 BOOM! Exclusive Variant signed by writer Eric M. Esquivel ($20), and ADVENTURE TIME: THE FLIP SIDE #1A ($14) and ADVENTURE TIME: THE FLIP SIDE #1 BOOM! Exclusive Variant ($20), both signed by series interior artist, Wook Jin Clark.
