About the series

In Misfit City, a group of friends in a sleepy Oregon town discover a treasure map that connects to a 1980s cult film shot in their hometown, kicking off a sun-drenched, small-town adventure. Co-written by Kirsten 'Kiwi' Smith and Kurt Lustgarten with lively, expressive art by Naomi Franquiz, this 2017 Boom! Studios series channels the spirit of classic teen ensemble stories. Its clever premise—blending a modern mystery with the legacy of a fictional Goonies-esque movie—makes it a fresh, self-aware take on adventure comics.
