More info on IDW's new Godzilla series!


Just a few days back I had unveiled information about IDW's new Godzilla series debuting in May.

(See that article here).

Now comes more info on this new series from tohokingdom.com, which is again from IDW editor Bobby Curnow:

- "... there will be a main lead character, and he will have a regularly appearing supporting cast. Having an identifiable and interesting human character from the start is key, I think, and one of our main goals."

- "Not too much time will have passed since the events of KOM #12. Enough time for the world to start to rebuild. Some things from KOM will be referenced, but not in depth or detail. If you've never read KOM, you'll be okay in the new series."

- "...Godzilla #1 will be 30 pages long for standard price. Bonus!"

- "There is definitely another, self-contained mini already in the works, which will hit in July or August."


(An eight page preview will also debut in March, which I'll be happy to post here).

Great stuff!

So again it's a semi-reboot of sorts...while still branching into an all new path with a new creative team and tone.

They're even continuing the theme of one main lead character, which if it works will keep readers tuned in each month.

I'm excited about this new series!  It seems to finally have that Godzilla excitement and tone that we're all looking for.

Did you catch the last part though about the other new mini-series!

Coming in August it will apparently follow the theme that the successful "Godzilla: Gangsters and Goliaths" series had, i.e. self-contained and original.
