Rec: Bang! Bang! BOOM! [New York]

Title: Bang! Bang! BOOM! [New York] Author: Croik (illus: Del) Format: Web serial Published/Free: Free Length: 80+ chapters Status: Ongoing Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic violence/death, Link: https://m.tapas.io/series/BangBangBOOMNewYork Summary: In the alleyways of 1920s New York, young immigrant and small time gangster Jakub Danowicz meets Cheshire Bloom, an eccentric teen in possession of explosive magical powers. You might not call it love at first sight, but something like it.

Review: I stumbled across this web novel and consumed the whole thing + the (also ongoing) webcomic in three days. It’s really freaking good. The creators pair strong characterizations with a multi-faceted plot that more than makes up for the excruciating slow burn this romance kicks off with (and boy, is it ever a slow burn). Check it out, and be prepared to lose your weekend.

Just me fangirling again, this time over my favorite original comic, BangBangBOOM, made by @croik and @delborovic.  Bunny & Swanson (aka Bunny Swanson) and a swan because reasons.  Really, it should be Bunny, Swan, and Son.  Yes, that makes the most sense.

A printed comic is kind of a given, maybe for the novel too?  A print pack?  A card deck??  Custom matchbook???  A demon contract????

Bang! Bang! BOOM!

By @croik and Del Borovic (@delborovic)

Bang! Bang! BOOM! takes places in an alternate history version of 1933 America, following the exploits of protagonists Jakub Danowicz and Cheshire Bloom: gangsters, gamblers, lovers. For years they have fought alongside each other as members of the Kozlow Gang, an Eastern European crime family settled in New York. But it’s only after Jakub convinces Cheshire to leave town with him that their real adventure begins.

Thought you guys might be interested in our process for how Bang! Bang! BOOM! is made, other than simply “Croik writes, Del arts.”  So here it is!  Rather than doing one page at a time, they’re produced in whole chapters (all the roughs all the lines, all the shading), which is why we update in chunks.  

If you have any other questions about what goes into the comic, feel free to drop us an ask!
