The news that in October, Locke & Key creators Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez will be crossing over Locke & Key with Sandman, created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg.

Called Sea of Sorrows, the five-issue miniseries follows a salvage crew seeking treasure on a sunken […]

IDW has been banking the promise of future profitability of its money-bleeding company on all of the sweet intellectual properties that they can turn into television shows and movies, which means they'd better start producing more of them instead of all the licensed comics that make up the majority of their publishing slate. With that […]

As the […]

Comic book publishers are notoriously secretive about their finances. Comic book sales numbers are guestimates based on an opaque index ranking published by Diamond, and that doesn't include digital sales or bookstore numbers. But as a publicly-traded company, IDW Media Holdings, the parent company of IDW Publishing, releases quarterly financial reports that provide us with […]

October Faction just dropped on Netflix -based on the IDW comic book from Steve Niles and Damien Worm. Clover Press is a new publisher created by the original founders of IDW. And just as IDW's first big hit was 30 Days of Night by Steve Niles, so Clover Press are hoping for a big hit […]

With a new Ghostbusters movie set to come out this year, fans new and old likely have a lot of questions. Most important among them: will we or will we not be getting another release of Ecto Cooler?

IDW has been reprinting the 1990s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic by Gary Carlson and Frank Fosco, TMNT: Urban Legends, and it's all been leading up to pretty radical culmination.

IDW Media Holdings and the United States government have a lot in common. For example, both organizations spend a lot of money on G.I. Joe and both have incurred enormous amounts of debt. So it makes perfect sense that IDW Publishing would team up with government-run museum The Smithsonian for a new publishing program to […]
