That event is designed to lure new readers to comic books. When I asked Waid what title he would recommend to a parent whose young child is interested in comics, he came up with Bone, which he described as "an epic all-ages tale full of humor and adventure."
Although Waid is the editor of BOOM! Studios, he still writes superhero comics for Marvel and DC. Currently on the market is The Brave and the Bold (pictured), a series that teams up two or more DC characters every issue.
When I asked Waid what was on the horizon, he said, "I'll be doing an arc on Amazing Spider-Man later this year -- no more details at this time -- and there are BOOM! projects that I'll be inventing and writing myself. Keep on the lookout!"
