I was in the happy position of sitting at the same table as the Boom Studios/Lumberjanes team when they scooped up two Eisner Awards at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, for best new series and best publication for teens. The team seemed surprised and overwhelemed, but to everyone else in that hall it must have felt like an inevitable moment of truly deserved recognition for a landmark series that showcased exciting new talents and brought a flood of new readers into comics.

Now Boom is recognizing Lumberjanes' accomplishment in its own way with a beautiful hardcover collection of the first eight issues; Lumberjanes To The Max.

The hardcover collects the first arc of Shannon Watters, Grace Ellis, Noelle Stevenson and Brooke Allen's story in a 272-page tome with a cover designed by Scott Newman. The collection also includes an introduction by the biggest cartoonist in comics today, fellow 2015 Eisner-award winner Raina Telgemeier, plus the awesome 'Rad Mix Playlists' that provide your backing track to Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley's campsite adventures.

Lumberjanes To The Max goes on sale in November for $39.99.
