Capn'n, bro, I love ya. Brotherly Kaiju love up in here.

Aw, how sweet...you two should get a room...

...That's a stupid dog.

Are you sure this isn't really Eric Powell? The childish writing style is very similar...

We might, but you and Legion left "stank" all over the sheets, so, y'know...not a good first date.

ebirahsmeg1, knock it off with the damn flame-baiting, you're acting like a douche.

Back on topic does anyone know how the whole comic series has been selling? Especially compared to IDWs other lines?
Frankly I'd like it to become as big as their Transformers series

Ehh... I don't feel like grabbing it, but the main site has the numbers for all of the issues for KoM, G&G, and Legends.

[Captain Aktion]

^Actually, I would like to see how their sales stack up against other IDW comics as those are the only one's that really matter.

So when's the first issue out?

[Tyler]

[KaijuX]

23rd.

Thank you, then, good sir. 23rd it is!

[kaiju115]

23rd, well then we don't have very long to wait, just a few more days.

There seems to be a lot of negativity here towards IDW thanks to KOM, which I admit was bad, but who here still thinks that IDW has done some really awesome stuff? Gansters and Goliths was awesome and I can't wait to get my hands on the TPB of G:Legends. I think IDW has been a great addition to this franchise.

What about the trade for Legends? I looked around and couldn't find anything more specific than "May."

[KaijuX]

^ The trade for Legends comes out in June. However, I don't know exactly when it comes out.

[ebirahsmeg1]

From the IDW boards (if this was post else where already, then my apologies):

Yeah there's good and bad in everything.

I don't get people who write them off for ONE bad comic.

Because those two comics had *NO* connection whatsoever to KOM...in contrast, this upcoming new title is continuation/sequel to KOM. Regardless if it's new staff/new writers/new artists/different direction/"we will barely mention the events of KOM!"/etc., it still has that connection, and that gives one pause. After KOM (which was one of the *worst* comics I have *ever* read in general, not just the worst "G" comic), I think it's more than understandable than many fans (myself included) to be *just a tad bit* skeptical about this upcoming title and are taking a "wait and see" approach before getting all giddy...

I'm still not quite seeing how being in the same universe means it'll be the same quality.

[Captain Aktion]

^I'm saying this in the nicest way I can here, and I may be wrong, but it seems like you don't read many comics.

I mean, do you know how many bad Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Captain America, Avengers, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, Daredevil, Green Lantern, X-Men, X-Force, X-Factor, Sin City, Cerberus, Strangers in Paradise, Stray Bullets, Robin, Teen Titans, New Mutants, Guardians of the Galaxy, Scarlet Spider, Az-Bats, Eradicator, Steel, Superboy, Shadowhawk, Youngblood, Cable, Bloodstrike, Nightwing, Batgirl, Justice League International, Justice League Europe, Extreme Justice, Sleepwalker, Ghost Rider, Punisher, Wildcats, etc, (and forevermore) issues/storylines/entire series there have been?

If everyone had fear and trepidation about the series and properties they're fans of then I can't see how this market could last as long as it has. Continuity is a touchstone and trademark of newsstand panel-to-panel "comics". Always has been. See DC's current issues to see what throwing continuity to the wind can do to a comic that is supposed to think in the long-term.

It would be like asking Marmit to not make their figures stylized or SHMA to not make their figures articulated. A long, continuous story in the Godzilla universe is one of the best, most unique things a Godzilla comic can offer us.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Just because it's in the universe doesn't mean everything will be referenced. Some things may just be mentioned in passing. Nothing to get upset over.
