Recently there was news that IDW Publishing (distributors of the Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters
, Godzilla Gangsters and Goliaths, and Godzilla Legends series') was partnering up with comiXology in order to stream their comics online.This previous announcement stated that only a portion of IDW's comics were going to make the cut.
Now comes word that IDW's partnership will allow ALL of their comics to be digitally streamed.
Here's the information straight from Seibertron.com:
"December 14th, 2011 – San Diego, CA — IDW Publishing and comiXology proudly announce the expansion of their digital partnership. Starting today, these IDW apps are now powered by comiXology: IDW Comics, Transformers Comics, Star Trek Comics, Doctor Who Comics, G.I. JOE Comics, 30 Days of Night Comics, Templesmith Comics and True Blood Comics Collection. All apps are live as of today, with new and old purchases alike syncing across the entire Comics by comiXology platform — iOS, Android, Web and Kindle Fire. In addition, all IDW digital comics are also available for online purchases and reading through the simultaneous launch of a new digital comics store at read.idwpublishing.com. IDW readers now have a true “buy once, read anywhere” experience."
There's also news that these digital comics will be available same day as print, a stark contrast to the 30 days wait period that Marvel/DC were doing.
Notice anything missing from that announcement?
...there's still no mention of Godzilla anywhere!
With the article stating that all IDW comics would be available, why would the Godzilla titles be purposefully omitted?
As such I'm still not certain if they'll be available anytime soon.
Toho must still be playing hardball and wanting a larger cut than the other licensees, which is their tradition.
