My First Decade at BOOM! Studios
A Kickstarter campaign for SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN, THE WOODS, and MEMETIC collected editions, comics, and collectibles.
We’ve come to an incredible milestone – this year marks a decade of working with BOOM! Studios. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 10 years since the debut of The Woods and Memetic (and 5 years since the debut of SIKTC!). These projects are all incredibly personal to Michael, Eryk, Werther, and I, and were foundational to me becoming the writer I am today.
To celebrate, the team at BOOM! have been hard at work putting together brand new deluxe collections of The Woods and Memetic, and a Something Is Killing The Children art book – designed by Tiny Onion’s very own DeAna Avila and Courtney Menard. You can back the JAMES TYNION IV: The First Decade at BOOM! Studios campaign on Kickstarter today!
From the campaign:
Since making his professional writing debut in 2012, James Tynion IV has carved a remarkable career path, rising to become one of the most commercially successful and lauded authors in the entire industry. Not only has Tynion helmed some of the biggest established franchises in the space, but he has also birthed some of the most innovative worlds, memorable characters, and must-read original stories of the last decade.
Now, BOOM! Studios, along with Tynion’s co-creators and artistic collaborators, proudly celebrate some of his most recognizable original creations – THE WOODS, MEMETIC, and SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN – with limited edition anniversary comic books, premium hardcover collected editions, and exclusive collectibles.
To commemorate Tynion’s meteoric rise within the industry and three of his most formative series, this BOOM! Direct Reserve campaign offers fans an opportunity to reserve copies of the first ever complete collections of his earliest award-winning original series at BOOM! Studios – THE WOODS with co-creator and artist Michael Dialynas and MEMETIC: THE APOCALYPTIC TRILOGY with co-creator and artist Eryk Donovan; along with an exclusive limited edition of THE ART OF SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN with co-creator and artist Werther Dell’Edera; rare ARCHIVE EDITION reissues of the first issues of each landmark series; limited edition signed and foil stamped sets; and a 10th Anniversary commemorative art print by GLAAD Award-winning illustrator Nick Robles (Behold, Behemoth).
Early Backers get a special bonus! For the first 48 hours, (May 14th at 11am PT to May 16th at 11am PT) if you back any physical tier of this campaign, you’ll automatically receive the SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN #1 SCRIPTBOOK with your rewards.
The collector in me is thrilled to mark my BOOM! anniversary with deluxe hardcovers of this caliber, and the writer in me is hopeful that these collections will help a whole new generation of readers experience these stories for the first time.

I wanted to thank you for being on this journey with me. Between the launch of Tiny Onion and this anniversary with BOOM! I’ve spent a great deal of time reflecting on the last 10 years in comics, and the next 10 ahead. I’m grateful for what’s happened and eager for what comes next. Thank you for reading through it all.
