IDW Publishing and Godzilla owner Toho International, Inc. signed a multi-year licensing deal that includes comic books, tabletop games and more.
The first project, debuting in April 2021, is a five-issue Godzilla miniseries targeted toward middle-grade readers by Erik Burnham, Dan Schoening and Luis Antonio Delgado.
"We’re very excited to work with Toho to build a comprehensive array of stories and products that Godzilla fans everywhere can enjoy," IDW Publisher Nachie Marsham said in a statement. "Their library of characters are quite literally titans of pop culture, and we can’t wait for people to get their hands on what we’re creating in close partnership with Toho. There will truly be something for everyone, from casual fans to people who live and breathe these amazing creatures."
"IDW has been such a fantastic partner in bringing Godzilla characters to life through high-quality graphic storytelling, and we’re excited to take our relationship to the next level," Toho Managing Director Lora Cohn added. "By expanding beyond comics with wide-ranging books, games and more, we’re sure that our iconic kaiju will leave monstrous marks on these products that consumers across the globe, young and old, will never forget."
