Inner Monologue

To help celebrate our 10th anniversary, each month the newsletter will feature thoughts from different members of the IDW team. Our November "inner monologue" brings thoughts from IDW's Director of e-Publishing, Jeff Webber:

"I joined IDW a little over 6 months ago to help build our digital library. The team here is really a stellar bunch of professionals! The time has flown by -- nothing stands still at IDW and I love how quickly decisions get made. We already have hundreds of books coming out in digital form -- from iPhone and iPod touch comics to PSP to eReaders to Web comics. It's great to work with so many big brands and talented creators to bring their stories to a whole new audience, including lots of people that don't typically buy comics. We have some big announcements coming this month, so stay tuned!"
