LUMBERJANES (2014)

"WHY WE LOVE IT: Five best friends spending the summer at Lumberjane scout camp...defeating yetis, thre-eeyed wolves, and giant falcons...what's not to love?! WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: It's Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Gravity Falls and features five buttkicking, rad teenager girls wailing on monsters and solving a mystery with the whole world at stake. And with the talent of acclaimed cartoonist Noelle Stevenson and talented newcomer Grace Ellis writing and Brooke Allen on art, this is going to be a spectacular series that you won't want to miss. WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best pals determined to have an awesome summer together...and they're not gonna let any insane quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way! Not only is it the second title launching in our new BOOM! Box imprint but LUMBERJANES is one of those punk rock, love-everything-about-it stories that appeals to fans of basically all excellent things."

"When you're a scout, nothing is more important than being prepared, but how do you prepare for legions of supernatural creatures threatening to beat down your scouting camp's door? Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley are about to find out! It's just supposed to be a normal day at camp with games and a bit of canoeing, but when the girls find themselves separated from the rest of camp they realize there really is a lot more going on and it might be a unhelpful river monster that gives them the key to figuring out what is really going on. Don't miss out on the second issue of this hot new series from Noelle Stevenson and Grace Ellis!"

"The girls have a lot more to worry about than crazy creatures and supernatural events...they have FIELD DAY. It's a competition between the Lumberjanes and the Genteel boy camp next door that's going to be filled with surprises!"

"After a lot of convincing, the girls are able to agree to get Jen to take them on a hike. Making their way up to the tower and hoping to finally get some answers, they make their way closer only to be stopped by the neighboring boy camp! April, Mal, Molly, Jo, and Ripley have to figure out how to get to the tower, even if they have to use Jen as a distraction to do it."

"Archery is a vital skill for any Lumberjane-it teaches balance and precision, which these scouts are definitely going to need with the Bear Woman back! The Lumberjanes are on a chase through the woods and it might be time for some answers as long as they don't lose anyone on the way "

"It's a race back to the cave for the Lumberjanes, this time with Diane and Jen in tow! There is more going on with these wolves and their gold eyes than the girls can figure out on their own, but with too much mystery surrounding Rosie it looks they have to go back to square one. Hopefully, this trip to the cave will have more answers."

"It's a race through the woods and through everyones' favorite cave of doom as the Lumberjanes make their way through previous obstacles. Now they know what answers they're looking for and they are not going to leave until everything is out in the open. Only it looks like the boys' camp might have other ideas "

"This crazy war between Apollo and Artemis finally reaches its peak and it's up to the Lumberjanes to save their camp from this crazy sibling rivalry. All questions are finally answered and the scouts learn the true importance of trust and friendship."

"In order to earn the coveted Gimme S'more badge, the Lumberjanes set out on a backpacking trip in the deep, dark woods. But the woods aren't so scary anymore, now that the Lumberjanes have kicked, punched, and befriended all the fearsome magical monsters out there, so they set out to find the one thing that can still scare them all: campfire stories!"

"The Roanoke cabin is back and they're ready for something crazy...but Mal wouldn't mind something normal, soft, and maybe quiet and harmless It's definitely going to be another fun camp adventure between best friends and the unknown!"

"Mal and Molly are on an adventure they don't really understand, but they will rely on each other to make it back to their friends and camp. What is the Bear Woman up to this time? And what are Jo, April, and Ripley up to while their friends fight for their lives?"

"Mal and Molly just want to get back to their friends, but things are looking more dire by the minute. It's going to be a crazy dash through this weird mixed-up world as they try to not only find a working portal, but one that will take them back to camp!"

"Special standalone issue with original series artist Brooke Allen. Ever wonder how the Lumberjanes first met? Take a trip back to the first day at camp and see how their friendship to the max got started."

"When a freak snow storm hits the camp, Jen gets lost! It's up to Rosie and the girls to find their Roanoke cabin leader. As they search, Jen comes across the path of a mysterious taxidermist who rides a moose. What the junk is she up to?"

"As the unnatural blizzard rages on, the Lumberjanes continue their search for Jen, who learns more about the mysterious bear woman and her ties to Rosie and the Lumberjanes."

"Which side does Jen choose, Abigail or Rosie?! While Abigail tries to lure a monster out so she can kill it (which is all kinds of crazy), Jen goes to the bearwoman for help. "

"With the annual Lumberjanes festival on the horizon, Rosie challenges the camp counselors with a contest: whoever makes the best presentation gets to choose what the festival will be celebrating. Featuring guest artist Kat Leyh (Steven Universe)."

"When April meets two mermaids who used to be friends but are now stuck in a crazy rivalry, she decides to put her friendship repairing skills to the test!"

"Diane is back at camp and the Roanokes... don't really know how to feel about that, especially when they discover a camper has been turned to stone!"

"Mal and Ripley are MISSING?!"

"Diane knows how to fix everything, but it might be too much to ask. Will the Lumberjanes be able to help her before everyone is turned into stone?"

"The yetis are back and they need a favor from the Lumberjanes!"

"Jen is elated about being a roller derby ref, and soon the 'Janes are laced up and ready to go full Rumblejanes on the yetis!"

"The final round of the 'Janes derby match turns into gauntlet derby, with swinging swords and spiked pits. Did anyone even read the rule book?!"

"A new storyline kicks off Year 4 of Lumberjanes, perfect for new readers to jump on! Everyone at camp is super excited about the best day of the summer-Parents' Day, when they get to show their folks what they've been up to! Molly seems really worried, though, and even her friends are unsure of how to cheer her up. "

"Parents' Day continues as the Roanokes split into parent/daughter teams for a scavenger hunt, with the girls determined to keep their parents from noticing anything supernatural during their visit."

"Parents' Day is coming to an end, but the trickster is still determined to ruin the Lumberjanes' day!"

"Parents' Day at camp is finishing up, with an Abuelita rescue mission, a trickster to out-trick, and the surprise arrival of Molly's parents? "

"When Jo builds a device that can control time, the Lumberjane scouts get stoked on science! But for Molly, Jo's invention could mean something else entirely the chance to make their summer at camp last forever!"

"The Roanoke gals might have accidentally slowed down time?"

"Time is completely out of whack! Ripley and Jen have swapped ages, Rosie is... changing, and their only hope lies in the surprising return of an old friend."

"To save the camp from destruction, the Roanokes head out into the woods to chop down a time tree with a magic axe. "

"After everything that's happened at camp, the Roanokes are in need of something to cheer them up. Luckily, Jen has the perfect thing: a search for a jackalope!"

"While on their Jackalope quest, the Roanokes meet Emmy, a roaming cowgirl, and her herd of critters and cryptids."

"Extra, extra, read all about it! The Zodiac Cabin is putting out a camp newsletter, and Diane's horoscopes are unnervingly accurate."

"On a rainy day at camp, the Lumberjane scouts have to make their own fun. For some, that means board games and books. For others, it's finding a labyrinth of secret underground tunnels under the camp. Leads into next month's oversized Anniversary issue!"

"In this oversized anniversary issue, April, Mal and Ripley make several very cool and also pretty gross discoveries deep in the tunnels beneath the Mess Hall. Up above in the civilized world Jo and Molly join Emily, Diane and the Zodiac cabin for a fun and totally chill game of total world conquest! Contains a special short story illustrated by co-creator Brooklyn Allen. Oversized Anniversary Issue! 'Feminism and fun intertwine...' -LA Weekly"

"Deep into their spelunking mission, April, Mal and Ripley are fighting to find their way topside, and back to the safety of the mess hall before anyone realizes they're missing. Meanwhile, the others' game of Panterra is getting a bit high stakes, particularly since they're playing against an ultra-competitive goddess!"

"April, Mal, and Ripley break the surface and see the light of day once more-but how will they get back to the Mess Hall without breaking Jen's rule about setting foot outside? Meanwhile, in the Mess Hall itself, chaos builds across the tabletop world of Panterra, leaving Jo, Diane, and Barney grappling for power."

"The 'Janes are heading off on a treasure hunt after finding a map hidden under Ripley's bed! They're hoping they'll find some pirate treasure, or magical amulets, or dinosaur bones, or snacks, but there's no telling what they're in for when they track down where X marks the spot."

"The mysterious, newly-unfrozen statue woman the 'Janes tracked down with their treasure map has absconded with Ripley! It's up to the rest of the Roanokes to figure out where they've gone, with the help of Diane's Ancient Greek expertise (and exasperation)."

"Ripley is missing, and the Roanokes are hot on her trail, except that the place that they're headed... isn't really a place?"

"An ancient Greek goddess has kidnapped Ripley, believing her to be the source of ultimate magic power! It's up to the 'Janes, Ripley, and some magic kitties to stop her from leeching all the magic from the forest."

"It's almost Jo's birthday, and for April that can only mean one thing: their yearly birthday movie night tradition! Now, she just has to figure out how to have movie night at camp, with no TV and no electricity! Luckily, though, there's the rest of Roanoke cabin and yeti friends to help make it happen!"

"With April's movie night dreams dashed by clumsy yetis, she sets her sights on a different scheme for Jo's birthday. Mal is on distraction duty, but their river rafting badge winds up off course. Stranded on an island unknown to Lumberjanes, will Jo, Barney, Jen, and Mal be able to get back to camp in time for the festivities? And does Jo even want to?"

"April's elaborate plans for Jo's birthday are well underway, and it's all camper and cryptid hands on deck to pull off the greatest party of all time! But when Mal, Barney, Jo, and Jen become shipwrecked on a mysterious desert island, they have to find a way back before the party is over!"

"When the Roanoke scouts run into a mysterious and dangerous creature in the woods, they barely escape with their hides. Heart pumping and dizzy with adrenaline, Mal decides that she needs to work on being braver. More proactive. A girl of action! A hardcore lady-type! And she's going to do it all by herself, because that never goes wrong."

"In her quest to face her fears, Mal may have stumbled into the most frightening place of all: the Land of Lost Things. In this pocket dimension, time moves faster than in the real world, and dinosaurs still rule supreme. None of the Roanokes have ever gone dimension-tripping by themselves before, much less accidentally! It's up to Jo, April, Ripley, and Molly to find a way to get Mal back home, safe and (hopefully) sound!"

"With all the Lumberjanes together in The Land of Lost Things, there is only one clear option when stuck in a pocket dimension-explore! But being in another dimension is dangerous, and when Ripley wanders off on her own into the middle of a bitter-cold pocket-dimension winter, the Roanokes' fun vacation to another realm might end up being too cool to handle!"

"Having lost their magical, portal-spotting spyglass (borrowed from Bear-Woman, natch), April, Jo, Ripley, Molly and Mal are stuck in the Land of Lost Things for the foreseeable future! Surrounded by dinos and other dangerous critters and with the snow piling up around them, Mal is beating herself up for getting them in this mess in the first place... but can she come up with a plan to redeem herself, and get them all back home to summertime and the (relative) safety of the Lumberjanes Camp?"

"Emily of Zodiac is convinced that there's an alien in the woods, but Jo isn't so sure, so the two Cabins split up to look for clues! This might be just the chance Hes needs to get Mal alone and ask for some... relationship advice"

"The Roanoke and Zodiac alien search team up has uncovered something (or rather, someONE) unusual! Her name is Freya, and she says she's a goddess, like Diane! Freya's friendly and outgoing, and immediately super popular around camp in a way our favorite bratty ancient Greek can't stand she must be up to something! Right? Nobody's that nice!"

"It's the Greco-Romans vs. the Norse Pagans, as Freya and Diane face off in the biggest battle between immortals the Lumberjanes camp has ever seen. And the prize? One little kitten named Marigold... who may or may not actually be Freya's mythical chariot-pulling cat!"

"It's time to discover what it really means to be a Lumberjane scout. As April, Jo, Ripley, Mal, and Molly look into the history of their beloved camp, they'll have to investigate their camp director Rosie's mysterious past!"

"As modern Lumberjane scouts Jo, April, Ripley, Mal and Molly head deeper into the woods, they're joined by an unexpected figure from camp director Rosie's past. Longheld secrets are revealed about the history of the Lumberjanes, the founding of camp, and even the origins of the forest itself! "

"When the 'Janes find the long-lost diary of the first ever Lumberjane, they'll learn more about the true history of Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady Types! But are they ready for what they'll find? "

"Jo, Mal, Molly, Ripley, and April's trek through the forest with camp director Rosie reaches its thrilling conclusion, as the gals narrowly survive a run-in with some creepy crawly vines! Plus, Abigail and Rosie finally reveal what they know about the story of first ever Lumberjane scout, and the unlikely way they both came to know her."

"The Roanoke scouts all have one last thing they want to do before summer ends, and the school year sweeps them all back home again. April is determined to earn every badge the Lumberjanes handbook has to offer, but there's an equally determined counselor standing in her way! Can April earn her 'Badger of Honor' badge and complete the most perfect sash in Lumberjanes history? "

"The summer is almost over, and Ripley has a velociraptor to ride, one last time. The only downside is the last time anyone saw Jonesy, it was in the Pocket Dimension. Not that it bothers the Lumberjanes. (It bothers Jen though. It REALLY bothers Jen.) "

"It's Mal and Molly's turn to check off every to-do on their end-of-summer wish list. There's a lot of fun they want to get to, but they're perfectly happy to dilly-dally, just as long as they're wasting time together! "
