IDW to announce a new series at the London Super Comic Convention


IDW comics, publishers of the three Godzilla series' "Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters", "Godzilla: Gangsters and Goliaths", and "Godzilla Legends", announced that they will hallmark the brand new "London Super Comic Convention" to be held on February 25th within the United Kingdom.

To kick off the event they will exclusively introduce a brand new series (or two) and offer a special variant cover of "Transformers: Infestation 2" (pictured).

Hmm...could another Godzilla title be in the works?

While I hope this would happen, I'm doubting that another Godzilla series will be introduced.

IDW already has 3 Godzilla series' within their base of comics, and I'm certain they're smart enough to realize that adding more will create saturation/cannibalization within the titles.

Most likely it will be the announcement of another key license they've acquired, which is their forte.

I do believe though that once "Godzilla Legends" finishes its course, IDW will only leave "Godzilla Kingdom of Monsters" around.

It's been documented in sales now that while the Godzilla series' are getting good sales...they're not exactly great either.

Other IDW issues sell more (Transformers for example) and it's only natural for any company to continue focusing on what works well.

In any case here's the original article on IDW's announcements:
