GODZILLA'S ONE CRAZY SUMMER!
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012
IDW announces digital Godzilla comics, new characters, and a new title!
San Diego, CA –
Expanding what has become an explosive publishing partnership, this
summer IDW Publishing and Toho Co., Ltd.are bringing even more
kaiju chaos to comic fans
everywhere!
 
May 23rd
brings the launch of Duane Swierczynski and
Simon Gane’s new, ongoing Godzilla
series, which features covers by Arthur Adams and
Tony Harris! That’s not all, though!
That same day, after much anticipation, Godzilla will
finally hit digital platforms! Available on iOS, Android, and
Nook, IDW’s entire back catalog of catastrophic, giant
monster destruction will be available as single issues and
trades. Not only that, but the new Godzilla ongoing
will launch day and date with two exclusive digital variant
covers!
This bounty of
crushing comics destruction comes hot on the heels of IDW’s
announcement of Orc Stain creator James
Stokoe’s Godzilla: The Half-Century War, a
generation-spanning tale packed to the gills with
Stokoe’s trademark hyper-detailed linework
and nearly-psychedelic colors. If any comics creator out there was
born to draw giant monsters leveling crowded metropolitan areas,
folks, it’s James
Stokoe.

And as if all that city-stompin’ goodness wasn’t enough, IDW has made the necessary space in Godzilla’s monstrous world for even more of Toho's creatures, with more than 20 of Godzilla's co-stars joining the roster of licensed characters. From fan favorites such as JET JAGUAR to lesser-known greats like the gargantuas, SANDA and GAIRA, the future of Godzilla at IDW is bound to be even more action-packed than ever.
 
Needless to say, it’s going to be a chaos-drenched summer for Godzilla fans.
 
Hopefully they all have insurance.
