Godzilla’s One Crazy Summer!

Posted on May 25, 2012 at 11:52 am by Shin Densetsu under Godzilla

We’ve received a press release from IDW Publishing regarding their summer plans for Godzilla comics!

GODZILLA’S ONE CRAZY SUMMER!
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.

    This is the really important part of this press release to me. The 50 Year War had been previously announced, and the digital initiative is cool but not unexpected. The increased size of the roster of allowable monsters means that we should be able to get some crazy monster match ups which were just "dream matchs" before now. I'd love for some really less common monsters get some time in the sun -- Sanda and Gaira, for instance, or Frankenstein for that matter!

    I'm looking forward to James Stokoe's take on Godzilla. His art on Orc Stain is pretty great.
