WEBTOON Teams Up with BOOM! Studios to Bring Iconic Comics to Vertical-Scroll Format

WEBTOON Entertainment, a global leader in digital comics, has announced an exclusive and groundbreaking partnership with BOOM! Studios, a powerhouse in the comics publishing world. This strategic alliance is set to transform how readers experience some of BOOM!'s most acclaimed series, bringing them to WEBTOON's renowned vertical-scroll format on its English-language platform. This initiative not only broadens the reach of these celebrated titles but also solidifies WEBTOON's position as a premier destination for diverse and high-quality storytelling.

Fans can eagerly anticipate the digital debut of several genre-defining comics. Among them is James Tynion IV’s Eisner Award-winning horror sensation, Something Is Killing the Children, a chilling narrative that plunges into the mysterious disappearances gripping the town of Archer's Peak.

Also joining the impressive lineup is Wynd, a captivating fantasy epic from the GLAAD Award-winning creative team of Tynion and Michael Dialynas, which follows a young boy concealing his magical lineage. For enthusiasts of compelling sports drama, Fence introduces Nicholas Cox's intense journey to excel in the competitive world of fencing and honor his father's enduring legacy. Rounding out the initial offerings is the beloved Lumberjanes, an Eisner and GLAAD Award-winning supernatural adventure that chronicles five friends navigating extraordinary phenomena at a summer camp, all while striving for an unforgettable season.

WEBTOON will serve as the sole digital home for these meticulously adapted vertical-scroll editions, marking a significant expansion of its content library with modern classics and critically praised narratives. While specific launch dates are still under wraps, the partnership promises a wealth of exciting revelations. Audiences are encouraged to mark their calendars for New York Comic Con 2025, where the panel 'Legends Reborn: Iconic Comics, New Adventures on WEBTOON,' scheduled for October 11, will offer deeper insights into this monumental collaboration. This venture powerfully underscores WEBTOON's unwavering commitment to fostering global storytelling innovation and making influential comics more accessible to a worldwide readership.
