IDW Publishing will be printing the popular digital comics from Monkeybrain starting in June 2013 with
Edison Rex by Chris Roberson and Dennis Culver. “Since we first conceived of Monkeybrain Comics,” Allison Baker says, “our goal has always been to make it as easy as possible for readers to enjoy our titles, in as many formats as possible. IDW has impressed us for years with their high production values, quality content, and business savvy, and we’re delighted that they’ll be helping our creators achieve that goal.” Chris Robertson adds, "Monkeybrain was founded because we love comics and thanks to IDW, we’ll have even more comics to love.”
Edison Rex will be followed by
Amelia Cole and the Unknown World by writers Adam P. Knave and D.J. Kirkbride and artist Nick Brokshire in August with other future titles being Dan Goldman’s
Red Light Properties as well as Kevin Church and Grace Allison’s
Wander. “Monkeybrain has brought in top creators to launch some of the best original digital comics around,” states Jeff Webber, IDW’s VP of Digital Publishing. “This is a great opportunity for new readers to discover these titles in their local comic shops or bookstores. And the fans that have read the digital versions can add a fine printed collection to their shelves.”
