Rocketship Entertainment teams with Rovio for Angry Birds graphic novels and comics

Rocketship Entertainment and Rovio have entered into a multi-book publishing agreement for Angry Birds middle grade graphic novels and young readers comics.

Facilitated by Angry Birds’ licensing agency, IMG, this collaboration is part of the brand’s 15th anniversary celebrations.

The graphic novel series will be written by Eisner Award-winner and New York Times bestselling author Paul Tobin and illustrated by renowned artist Thom Zahler.

The young readers comic series, which will debut in comic shops in 2025, will be written by best-selling author Katie Cook.

Three graphics novels – The Haunting of Hog House, Level Up and Breaking the Bank – are planned and will be offered in a Kickstarter pre-order campaign along with limited edition exclusive merchandise. Following the campaign the books will be released globally through retail. The first book will release in spring 2025.

“Angry Birds is a household name that a generation of fans have grown up with.” said Rocketship CEO and publisher Tom Akel.

“We are honoured to celebrate its 15-year anniversary with Rovio and be a part of the next chapter of Red, Chuck, and the gang.”
