IDW has released solicitations for September, 2011. Kingdom of Monsters continues its story, now in its seventh issue, with the monster Battra finally getting a "character cover". Gangsters & Goliaths is one issue away from its closure, as Mothra continues to run wild in Japan. This month also marks the release of the first volume for the Kingdom of Monsters series, as a 104 page paperback collection of the first several issues will be released.

As an extra to Toho Kingdom readers, superstar artist Matt Frank has also provided us a larger, text-less version of the Battra "character" cover for issue #7 of Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters. Click the image to the right to see the full cover.
