[...] Aside from monster books, Boom! has been tackling two other main types of comics: men’s adventure and superhero humor.

Their late 80′s run is my favorite DC collaboration and among my faves of all time, all companies.
That said, I was indeed very dissapointed when Identity/Infinite Crisis and all those came around and tarnished and practically negated this classic period of DC history. Very sad that these days are gone. Truly a shame.
Regarding BOOM STUDIOS, anybody out there hear anything that’s coming out by them?

Which is to say that Giffern or DeMatteis can write for whoever, but Giffen and DeMatteis will only write for Boom Studios from now on. I recall an interview with Mr Giffen from 2004 where he expressed the belief that working with Marc was the best collaboration he had in comics and he intended to ensure they worked together as much as possible in the future. Or something like that.

Giffen and DeMatteis have made names for themselves writing these kinds of books as Marvel’s “Defenders” later illustrated. A very good TPB if only to read their take on the classic characters such as Beetle, Booster and Mary Marvel.
