  • In 2008, Boom! signed a deal with the Walt Disney Company to produce comic books based on their properties and secured newsstand distribution as part of their new kid-friendly imprint, Boom Kids! Their initial line-up of Disney comics consisted of several mini-series based on Pixar films, with the Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Cars comics later getting regular series. However, due to personal issues with the writers of The Incredibles comic, Boom!'s Disney comic line did not last long. The Pixar titles were cancelled in the fall of 2010. Several of Boom!'s Pixar comics have since been reprinted by Marvel Comics in 2011 and 2012, but eventually stopped due to poor sales. However, the first four issues of the WALL•E comic were reprinted in Joe Books' Disney-Pixar Comics Treasury.

Waid launched Irredeemable in April 2009 with an afterward from Grant Morrison and a cover from John Cassaday.

Waid also created Potter's Field, featuring a cover from J.G. Jones and interior art from Paul Azaceta.

In December 2010, Waid announced he would be leaving his role as Chief Creative Officer to return to freelance work though he will continue writing for the publisher.

In late 2011 BOOM! announced the beginning of a new re-print of Marvel's Terror on the Planet of the Apes to start in February 2012, even releasing cover images for the first four issues bearing their logo, but ultimately these plans were quietly dropped. Then in November of 2011 the studio released a four issue mini-series entitled Betrayal of the Planet of the Apes that was written and drawn by partners Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman. From the same co-creators, Exile on the Planet of the Apes debuted in March 2012.
