Get ready to SMASH your way through Secret Wars, True Believers as Sam Humphries and Mark Laming take you to the north pole of Battleworld and beyond for an epic rescue mission in Planet Hulk #1 – a brand new Secret Wars series debuting this May as part of the Warzone!

Enter Greenland, the territory in Battleworld’s barren northern hemisphere. With its unchecked population of wild Hulks – rampant and untold destruction are everywhere. No one dare venture to Greenland’s forbidden lands without the knowledge they’ll never return.

Freed from the shackles of captivity, a battle-worn gladiator named Steve Rogers and his steadfast companion Devil Dinosaur are given what could be their last task. Together, they must journey deep behind enemy lines in search of a friend, held in the clutches of the Red King! An army of Hulks could not stand between these two and their warbound comrade – yet they will try!

Axe and shield shall slash Hulk flesh and razor sharp teeth shall shatter Hulk bone in a desperate bid to recover what was lost. The journey into the darkest depths of Battleworld begins this May in PLANET HULK #1, smashing in to comic shops and digital devices this May!

Plus: Planet Hulk #1 will also feature a surprise bonus story from a top secret creative team.

IDW Relocates and Opens and Art Gallery

Posted on by

IDW 2You have to like it when a comic company is doing well, and it seems like business is booming for IDW Publishing. Today the publisher announced the relocation of their headquarters due to “business expansion,” in June 2015, as well as the opening of a groundbreaking new comic art gallery. The new offices and gallery will be located in former Navy barracks within the historic NTC in Liberty Station, which is nestled in the Point Loma community of San Diego.

The San Diego Comic Art Gallery will be a unique, new and dynamic space located within the IDW offices, designed to educate and engage the local San Diego community and the region of Southern California with the sequential comic book and graphic arts. The SDCAG will create a permanent home in San Diego as a showcase for this celebrated art form; already so pervasive in pop culture, thanks to the meteoric success of comic-based films, television and entertainment, and already so associated with the San Diego area, thanks to Comic-Con International. With a retail space, a gallery of original art from comics and animation, and actual working artists on the premises, the SDCAG is an entirely new kind of venture. Harry L. Katz, former Head Curator in the Prints and Photographs Division at the Library of Congress, has been named the curator of SDCAG.

IDW 1Through events, author and artist appearances, art installations and celebrations, the SDCAG will become a destination to worldwide fans of the medium, and cement San Diego’s status as a Capital of the comic arts, while becoming an integral part of the immediate community. The first installation will be an extensive showcase of the work of Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and local San Diego resident.

The move was out of necessity, as the company has grown and just run out of room. Ted Adams, CEO & Publisher of IDW, describes it as the “perfect next step in the evolution” of the company. At the NTC, they join numerous other art galleries and museums already there. They June move date gets them settled in just before this year’s San Diego Comic-Con which takes place in July.

Congrats to IDW!
