IDW’s New Battle Beasts Comic Announced

MTV Geek has the story (actually, many sites have the story), but basically what we have happening is IDW publishing a new Battle Beasts comic mini-series in support of the new Diamond Select Battle Beasts toys. The cover by Dan Brereton looks fantastic, and I’m looking forward to checking out the comic once it launches . . . but do I go for single issues or hold out hope for a collection?

“BATTLE BEASTS is a great fit for IDW,” said writer Bobby Curnow. “What’s so important about toys is they enable kids to build worlds in their imaginations, and create stories for those worlds. Since I never really grew up, getting the chance to help create the new Battle Beasts in comic form has been a fantastic and supremely fun experience. The world has been turned upside down with the arrival of the Battle Beasts, and we’re going to have a great time showing just how crazy things get. IDW has a lot of experience finding riveting stories in toy-based licenses, and I hope BATTLE BEASTS is no exception. I know for a fact that Valerio is knocking it out of the park. His art is going to floor a lot of people.”?
