In Comic Book Boom!, you play as a comics publisher at the height of the industry’s wildest era: The bombastic 1990’s. To score big in this booming market, you’ll need to…
• Publish books with the hottest ’90s themes • Hype up readers with outrageous stunts • Dazzle collectors with enhanced cover gimmicks
Be careful: Push the fans too far, and this boom is going to bust. Through big bets and market manipulation, you and your rival publishers might print up a fortune – or get too greedy and lose it all!
