IDW Publishing
IDW Publishing was founded in 1999 in San Diego, California, and the company built a significant portion of its business around licensed comic adaptations of major media franchises, including Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, alongside original horror and science-fiction titles. The publisher's Transformers and G.I. Joe comic lines helped sustain and expand those toy-based franchises' fictional universes during periods between major film and television releases, giving dedicated fans continued new stories set within those established properties. IDW also published significant original horror content, including "Locke & Key," written by Joe Hill, which was later adapted into a live-action Netflix television series, demonstrating the publisher's ability to develop original properties alongside its licensed franchise business. IDW Publishing's combination of its extensive licensed toy-franchise comic business and its original horror titles like "Locke & Key" has made it one of the most significant mid-sized comic book publishers in the modern American comics industry.

BOOM! Studios
BOOM! Studios was founded in 2005 in Los Angeles, and the company grew into a significant publisher of both original creator-owned comics and licensed properties, including a notable run of comics based on Jim Henson properties like "The Dark Crystal" and "Fraggle Rock." The publisher's original series "Lumberjanes," launched in 2014, became particularly significant for its focus on a young, diverse cast of characters at a summer camp, drawing critical acclaim and a devoted following for expanding the range of stories and audiences mainstream comic publishing had traditionally served. BOOM! Studios also publishes "Once & Future" and other genre-spanning original titles, and the company's KaBOOM! imprint specifically targets younger readers, reflecting a deliberate publishing strategy spanning multiple age demographics beyond the traditional adult-oriented superhero comic audience. BOOM! Studios's combination of its Jim Henson licensed properties and its critically acclaimed original series like "Lumberjanes" has made it one of the most significant independent comic book publishers to emerge in the 21st century.
