IDW and Mars Attacks
Newsarama has the details, but basically what I’m seeing here is that I really want to give the Mars Attacks comic a try when it comes out. Sounds like it should be a blast. (And man, the promo artwork is fantastic. I’m sold on that image alone.)
And this makes me want to dig out the 1995 comics; I really enjoyed that short run. I just hope those old comics are where I think that I left them.
IDW seems to be doing what Dark Horse did in the late 1980s and early 1990s: buy a bunch of licenses (Predator and ALIENS in particular for Dark Horse), create some quality comics and make some money off of them, then start building a cache of your own original or creator-owned IPs.
And I have to say, it seems to be working…I’m enjoying their Godzilla comics. Well, everything but the main comic, anyway.
