IDW to publish new Godzilla comics in 2011

G has had previous history in comic books with Marvel and Dark Horse, both of which are currently in reprint TPB (black and white).

I enjoy reading Godzilla publications, from the comics to the book series Random House published in the hype of the 98 film. This new series is obviously made to ride the hype of the new film in 2012, but the fact that they're including Godzilla's classic foes in this series (who were woefully absent in his other comic runs) is promising.

I haven't read much of IDW's output, except for a few volumes of Angel: After the Fall, which I am enjoying a lot. I can't wait until they publish Godzilla.

I posted this in the comic book thread. According to aicn's report the series will be written and feature covers by Eric Powell!

This is a dream come true for me, as a lifelong Godzilla fan and a devoted reader of The Goon since '04.

Cool!

Eric Powell is co-writing with Tracy Marsh (never heard of him... or her, but good luck).

Here's the initial piece of art Powell sent to the IDW editor in chief to sell his idea:

Also, in addition to Godzilla: Monster World (the ongoing series) there's a miniseries planned.

Get a pretty good idea of what this series is about with this interview (which also has the first samples of interior art):
