You know that thing I teased about a few days ago, about a comic series involving an "well-known man in a suit"? Well, there was a typo. That should have been, "man in suit." That is, a
Godzilla suit. Yep,
coming this spring, to finer comic shops everywhere...

As a kid who grew up watching giant monsters beat the crap out of each other on UHF, this is pretty much a dream gig. Hope you'll check it out this May.
You would strike me as the perfect man for the job, indeed. Congratulations for the gig!
ReplyDeleteColour me intrigued. Monster hunters! Sounds like an interesting take. Oh man, a bunch of grumpy tough guys trying to take down grumpy tough monsters? I'm in.
ReplyDeleteBut May?! Come on, that's torture. You're a monster!
Will there be signed stock available anywhere? A friend of mine is a huge fan of Godzilla, comics, and Godzilla comics.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! This is awesome news. My 7 year old boy is a huge Godzilla fan, to the point where I had to order him a couple of DVDs available only in Australia and Japan. He (and I) will be anxiously awaiting the release.
ReplyDeleteGreat line-up! Gane's art should make this extra fun. Can't wait and I'll be adding it to the pull list. Incidentally, the other Godzilla books from IDW are also good reads.
ReplyDeleteI am all over this! Boxer
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with Point and Shoot...it's not listed on Amazon right now? Did they change the publication date?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
