For an upcoming issue of  Adventure Time: Candy Capers... I'm guessing this one will cause slightly less controversy than the recent IDW cover Although, those Princess Bubblegum shoulders are rather bare… UPDATE: This Adventure Time cover by Mimi Yoon has been earmarked for use on Adventure Time #29, which will ship in June It's a retailer incentive[...]

This year, within five minutes of the registration opening reports were popping up that the guest badges were all gone.

Heisenberg? Yes, we have new Superior Spider-Man #26, including a look at whatever Peter Parker is up to, as Dock Ock's world begins to unravel around

Yesterday, we ran an open letter to the comics industry by Dennis Barger about the recent IDW Powerpuff Girls cover that he campaigned to get withdrawn, as well as his take on the current comics industry. Original artist of that cover, Mimi Yoon, had her own take, and has been expressing it on these (open) posts[...]

When you consider that there are roughly 2,000 comic shops that number means each store needs to be making six new readers a year. I am a huge supporter of IDW and especially their all-ages line of comics It wasn't until they released My Little Pony comic books, that I decided to dedicate almost 10% of[...]

This week saw the publication of X-Files: Conspiracy: Ghostbusters from IDW which saw the Lone Gunmen of the X-Files franchise investigating the mystery of the supernatural hunting Ghostbusters seeking to expose them. Well, it looked like something else got exposed along the way. Because IDW is not the only company to have held the Ghostbusters license[...]

The Powerpuff Girls cover story that we seemed to break out the other day has travelled the internet like wildfire, now ending up in the Guardian (with a

Bleeding Cool highlighted what we called "a modicum of controversy" over the Cartoon Network-comissioned Subscription cover to Powerpuff Girls #6 by Mimi Yoon. ICV2 got through to Cartoon Network who have now told them that the cover has been withdrawn and will be replaced. and received the following reply indicating the variant cover, which was intended for[...]

But what DC book would you really, really like to work on?

Why yes, yes it is. That's this Milk And Cheese. By Evan Dorkin. Good job Alex De Campi and Carla Speed McNeil. We'll destroy those little girl's minds,

No, I'm talking about free comics from Valiant, Top Cow and IDW, Green Lantern rings, Mind MGMT buttons, promotional posters and packs of trading cards, and figurines. I was more than a little curious about how this con got its start because it felt like it was standing room only, half expecting the Fire Marshall to[...]

Retailer Dennis Barger Jr wrote on Facebook, this is taking grade school girls and sexualizing them as way older, monster high school is at least high schoolers dressed and acting like normal high schoolers (as sexualized as actual high schoolers are) IDW's Dirk Woods replied, Hey Dennis et al – That was actually a Cartoon Network mandated cover,[...]

But it would seem odd for the British based Titan Comics to publish Doctor Who comics that couldn't officially be distributed in Britain, as was the case with IDW… Here's the PR bumf I wonder if they'll use that unused Mark Waid script? In the universe of Doctor Who regenerations bring not only a new Doctor but[...]

When I got the chance to tell a Doctor Who story, for IDW's comics line, I used a story I'd had in my head for years, Room With A Deja Vu, with a criminal case taking place in a space station populated by many lifeforms, in darkest deepest space, cut off from everyone else. Basically, not[...]

It's that time of the month when publishers start looking at numbers on books, start punching them into calculators and start sending out previews to sites like Bleeding Cool to give specific titles a little nudge if they might read them. So, retailers, readers, in that light, here are five pages from the first issue of[...]

In June, IDW will be publishing Angry Birds comics, based on the games and, also, toy lines, animated series and upcoming film.

Could this also be foreshadowing to a child between Superman and Wonder Woman in Five Years Later? Possibly… IDW's final Doctor Who story, written by Doctor Who TV writer Paul Cornell is about Doctor Who Literally A parallel universe that's our own, and the Doctor stumbling over the production of his own show, that is still[...]

The hauntings Jude encounters are quite gritty and emotionally compelling, and really can't predict what you'll find in any one issue of the comic, which makes for a gripping read. After a long and dedicated history of creator-owned work on the series by Dan Goldman, RLP is coming to a fully remastered print edition from IDW[...]

We mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, along with a major Obama-related spoiler, but Stephen Colbert also makes his appearance in animal-zombie-comic The Other Dead #4 from IDW today. Or rather his poster does. A neat way to give a little three dimensions to an otherwise two dimensional isolationist gun-nut… and an appreciator of the Colbert[...]
