Earlier today, I reported the news that Boom Studios was having an all-hands meeting today and that there was gossip that this may include a buyout, possibly from Penguin Random House, a buyer it has been repeatedly suggested was interested in purchasing the publisher.
Since then, I have received confirmation from those close to the situation that this has indeed happened. Penguin Random House is buying Boom Studios. Boom Studios will leave Diamond Comic Distributors, to be distributed by PRH alongside Marvel, IDW and Dark Horse. And that the staff meeting will also concern redundancies to be made at the publisher, as a result of job duplication between Penguin and Boom.
