Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group has announced that it has named BOOM! Studios, Dark Horse, and DC/Vertigo veteran Sierra Hahn to the position of Editor-in-Chief.
Effective today, Hahn’s new role immediately follows her seven-year tenure as Executive Editor at BOOM! Studios and marks another key hire for the Oni-Lion Forge Publishing Group, which appointed Hunter Gorinson as President & Publisher in December.
With more than 15 years of professional editorial experience working alongside some of the most acclaimed and influential creators in comics, Hahn will be tasked with executive management of the Oni-Lion Forge publishing line and editorial team, and creative oversight of the company’s extensive output of award-winning periodical comics, original graphic novels, and high-profile licensed content.
Hahn began her career in the publicity department at DC/Vertigo in 2005 and, two years later, joined Dark Horse as an Editor, where she oversaw a string of seminal creator-owned titles, including the Eisner Award-winning Green River Killer: A True Detective Story by Jeff Jensen & Jonathan Case; Mesmo Delivery by Rafael Grampá; The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys by Gerard Way, Shaun Simon & Becky Cloonan; and Two Brothers by Fábio Moon & Gabriel Bá; alongside best-selling licensed series, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Nine, Guillermo del Toro’s The Strain, and more.
In 2015, Hahn was tapped to join BOOM! Studios as Executive Editor of the publisher’s prestigious Archaia imprint. As one of the leading editorial talents responsible for shepherding BOOM!’s rapid expansion over the past decade, Hahn’s tenure produced a long list of high-profile releases, including Once Upon a Time at the End of the World by Jason Aaron, Alexandre Tefenkgi, Leila del Duca & Nick Dragotta; A Vicious Circle by Mattson Tomlin & Lee Bermejo; the Faithless trilogy by Brian Azzarello & Maria Llovet; and the Eisner Award-nominated adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five by Ryan North & Albert Monteys; among many dozens more.
