Maybe the Punisher is still hanging out in Riverdale and can help the Archie Gang fight off the Predator....

IDW bringing comics to mass market retailers....

story

I have talked at length at the wonderfulness of the IDW Fun Packs, shrunken down size comic books packed in foil packs with stickers and stuff, and sold in the mass market – Wal Mart, Toys R Us, Target and the like.

They have centred on IDW licensed comics such as My Little Pony, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Skylanders. Like this.ut now they are moving to another comic company’s titles, with Avengers Fun Packs.

This is exciting in so many ways. Not only are the Fun Packs a truly innovative way at finding the next generation of comic fans – and selling millions in the process – but with this, IDW become more than just a publisher, but a content distributor into a brand new market.

They’re the new Diamond. But, you know, for kids.

Not sure it will succeed, but I sure like this move for a lot of reasons.

Punisher would have far more to fear from Predator than the Riverdale gang...

It has potential, based on price. If this fun pack is a good value, and any "pack" should probably be below cover price, then I can see it selling decently in those locations. Especially by IDW's market expectations.

NYCC is upon us as Con announcements from publishers start to trickle out.

The first from Dark Horse is that there will be a new Groo Series from Aragones, Evanier and Sakai following in the footsteps of Groo vs. Conan....Groo: Friends & Foes starting in January from Dark Horse

I read about this somewhere months ago. It's supposed to be a 12-issue maxiseries and each issue will feature Groo meeting a different member of the Grooverse. Sounds good.
