Godzilla Reawakens in Middle-Grade Comics
IDW is building on its longtime relationship with Toho, signing a new licensing deal that expands its classic Godzilla publishing program into younger age brackets; formats include art books, coloring books, and journals; and categories such as tabletop games and puzzles.
The first project under the new agreement is a five-comic middle-grade mini-series called Godzilla: Monsters & Protectors, with the first issue set for release in fall 2021. The series is written by Erik Burnham, with artist Dan Schoening and colorist Luis Antonio Delgado. The plan moving forward is to publish at least one Godzilla book per month, across all age groups.
