IDW Publishing has big plans for 2025. Following the best-selling relaunch of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES in 2024, the award-winning publisher is swinging for the fences this year with a massive new GODZILLA connected comic book universe, the horror imprint DARK ?– which features the return of the Eisner-nominated hit BENEATH THE TREES WHERE NOBODY SEES and fan-favorite franchise 30 DAYS OF NIGHT – in addition to epic plans for the TMNT and STAR TREK lines, and even more that has yet to be revealed.

To celebrate 2024’s hard-earned successes while also looking ahead, IDW Publishing is incredibly proud to announce a wave of new hires and promotions. “At IDW we regularly emphasize these guiding values: have fun; meritocracy; speak up,” stated Davidi Jonas, CEO and Publisher of IDW. “It is humbling and exciting to work with a team of clever, committed, kindhearted colleagues… who contribute great ideas, work hard and smart, and make every day fun and entertaining. I’m proud to work with this exceptional team and support their innovative and invigorating ideas.”
