Bobby Curnow, my editor on GODZILLA: LEGENDS, just made a post about the new comic series coming this spring!

Complete with a beautiful new cover from Art Adams! HE'S BETTER THAN EVERYONE.

Starting with issue 2, I'll be contributing new covers, along with :iconzornow: for quite a few issues! And they may not even be retailer incentives, so you'll actually be able to buy them!

For those dissatisfied with KINGDOM OF MONSTERS, don't worry, EVERYTHING will be different in the new series. Here's to a great 2012!

WHOA.

I knew I was watching a kick-ass kaiju artist.

I had no idea I was watching someone who actually CONTRIBUTES TO OFFICIAL GODZILLA MEDIA!!

Sir, your awesomeness just went off the scale. I'm going to bring this up with some people I know at our nerd club (GeekFest) who do a weekly little panel on comics to see if they/let them know.

I certainly hope that the new series will be a lot like "Legends," but with a storyline similar to KoM. I liked KoM on average, but it did seem to have a lack of focus on the monsters (from what I've read so far, which I think is up to issue #10). That, and the fights between monsters, when shown, always seemed to be cut out to go back to the human protagonists at the worst of possible times to shift focus.

Still, I do quite like the premise of KoM; hell, I have a very similar plot in mind for that still 'in intellectual development' project of mine: "Godzilla: Onslaught" =P It probably will never see the light of day, but it's still a lot of fun to think of ideas for a new game :)

Simon Gane???????????????? WHY!!!
for gods sake why the bloody hell cant they get good artist on the interiors for the running series. he is better than the 2 on KOM but still. if its a matter of time i would GLADLY wait 3-4 months extra for the series to start coming out if it ment it had an artist that was better but takes longer.
consider me disapointed in the artist pic if nothing else. but i am very happy IDW isnt just gonna drop doing godzilla books as i feared they would when KOM kinda tanked. gangsters and goliaths was strong and legends is damn good. so im very hopeful for the future

KOM was ok but then I'm easy to please. Can't say I'm a fan of the GMK version tho

I gotta say, I lvoe your art man, and Legends #1 was awesome, but KoM was pretty blah. I mena do they really have to involve all of this political crap in Godzilla? Kaiju is supposed to be escapism, not just random "shock" killings and Political satires.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked Legends - that was definitely popcorn entertainment.

But here's the thing - Political commentary and death to innocent bystanders has been around since the original film, and has popped up continuously throughout the franchise. Many of the Godzilla films have at least some form of political or social commentary to them that was reflective of the times (Gojira - post-war nuclear fear, Mothra vs. Godzilla - unchecked corporate greed, Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster - extreme pollution problems, Godzilla's Revenge - effect of Japan's changing infrastructure on children and their home life, Godzilla vs. Biollante - dangers of bio-engineering, GMK - Japan's newer generations willfully ignorant of their culture, history and heritage, etc. etc.)
Yes, Godzilla movies are escapism, but that's definitely never been exclusive to the messages inherent to the genre.

Of course, it's all in how you handle it, and KOM's tact is debatable. There was a lot that I found appropriate, but certain things didn't exactly work. Take from it what you will.
