Comic Book Boom! Origins #5
The early '90s comics scene was non-stop action, as publishers raced out new books to capitalize on the boom market.
True to history, Comic Book Boom! has little-to-no downtime: You move through the game phases simultaneously with other players:
Research – Acquire new cards for your hand.
Develop – Secretly assemble your line of books.
Publish – Reveal your books and adjust the shared market.
Profit – Collect money from your books.
Cleanup – Get ready for the next round.
You'll need to keep a close eye on your rival publishers: Anticipating their moves and carefully choosing what to telegraph about your own is key if you want to come out on top.
Finally, congrats to Ray S. on winning three sweet '90s books!
All summer long, we're giving away totally rad back issues to lucky subscribers who help us pick origin stories for our characters. Here's the winning origin story for Trencher:
