Comic publisher BOOM! Studios is set to be acquired by Penguin Random House, it has been reported by Deadline. BOOM! will become a part of the publishing giant's Random House Worlds division, alongside several other imprints including the manga-focused Inklore, and sci-fi publisher Del Rey.
BOOM! Studios co-founder and chairman Ross Richie said of the deal, "It's every entrepreneur's dream to launch a company, build it, and sell it to the best. I'm excited to hand the reins of BOOM! over to the best and largest publisher in the world. Their focus on readers and retail partnerships will build upon our work and help our creators achieve even more success. Personally, it's time for me to take some much-needed time off with my family and explore what's next."
