Wall-E Comics Come To Boom!

Man, the art for Boom! Studios' new Wall-E Series looks fantastic. Yeah, it's not the final cover art, but if the interiors looks half as amazing as these promo images, then The Kid™ is going to be a very, very pleased little girl. As for the writing, CBR has a pretty interesting interview with the series writer J. Torres right now that lets us know what sort of approach we can expect.

One notable feature of "WALL-E" was that it was largely without dialogue, as the two main characters communicated using only a select few words, including their names. "'WALL-E' is a very visual comic, much like the first act of the movie in which there's very little 'dialogue,'" Torres told CBR. "So, think of comics like 'Gon' or 'Owly' or 'Actions Speak' by Sergio Aragones. Although, I do use more sound effects. The sound design in the movie was terrific and I actually love using sound effects, especially in comics aimed at kids. Makes them fun to read out loud."

This silence, though, adds an additional challenge to characterization. "It's not like WALL-E can monologue about who he is, his situation, his hopes and dreams, etc. We really have to show it in his actions and acting," Torres explained. "Morgan Luthi does most of the heavy lifting on this project and I have to admit I was a bit nervous about whether or not he, or any other artist, could pull off the kind of storytelling needed for this, but he really knocked it out of the park. I can't wait for people to see what he's done."
