Boom! Studios has hired Ian Brill as their new Games Workshop Editor. Brill will helm Boom!’s Warhammer, Warhammer 40,000, and Blood Bowl line of comics while “providing steady leadership and unique insight to the expanding Boom! catalog as the company continues its explosive growth,” said Boom! Marketing and Sales Director Chip Mosher.
“Ian has an unparalleled devotion for comics that makes him ideal to work at Boom!,” said Ross Richie, the company’s co-founder and CEO. “Coming from comic book journalism, Ian has a unique vantage point that has allowed him to see every part of the comic business, and this, hands down, makes him one of the best-suited people in the industry today to make the jump to an editorial position.”
Brill comes from the other side of the comics business, writing articles for The Comics Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Newsarama. He graduated from San Francisco State University with a BA in English Literature.
