Good news for all of you Pixar comic fans, Boom Kids just released the first issue of it’s new Toy Story comic book! The first arc of the new series is being written by Jesse Blaze Snider and illustrated by Nathan Watson.
I had a chance to read the first issue (#0), and it was a lot of fun! It took me a while to get used to seeing the Toy Story characters in comic book form, but they lend themselves to the medium nicely. The story revolves around Woody and Buzz and feels like a classic Toy Story tale.
Snider came to fame on the MTV show “Rock the Cradle” and is an active musician as well as a comic book writer. You can check out the Boom Studios website for more details, but I highly recommend picking up a copy or two!

Lorelay Bove is an artist who interned at Pixar and is currently working at Disney Animation Studios. She recently illustrated a Toy Story picture book titled Ride ‘Em Cowboy that hits store shelves on September 1st.
The only description I could find of the book online is from Copperfield’s Books.
“Everyone’s favorite “Toy Story” characters are back in action. Join Andy’s toys for a rodeo match up between Woody the cowboy and Jessie the cowgirl. Buzz Lightyear, Bullseye, Slinky Dog, and the rest of the gang add to the thrills. Full color.”
