Media Release -- BOOM! Studios is proud to conclude BOOM! Box Jam, a week-long spotlight on the best YA comic books and graphic novels from the award-winning imprint in the coming months, with your first look at GIANT DAYS #40, the latest issue of the 2018 Eisner Award-nominated series from writer John Allison (By Night) and returning series artist Max Sarin.

Ed Gemmel returns to Sheffield after a summer spent healing bones and also his heart. Esther does her best to welcome him back, but neither of them have forgotten his drunken confession… or how he then proceeded to break his ankles. I mean, how much worse could it get, right? …Right?

"If you're a Giant Days fan, you'll want to pick up this issue. The series hits the #40 milestone with a big issue, featuring the repair of broken hearts...and broken bones," said Shannon Watters, Senior Editor, BOOM! Studios. "2018 is shaping up to be the biggest year in this series' history, from the recent Eisner Award nomination, to the debut of a Giant Days middle grade novel from Abrams."
