Activision And IDW Announce First-Ever Skylanders Comic Book

In conjunction with Activision, IDW Publishing is proud to announce the first-ever Skylanders comic-book series, penned by renowned comic-book writer Ron Marz with Mike Bowden and David Baldeon as lead artists. In the world of video games, Skylanders is a global phenomenon and the best-selling kids’ game franchise since its launch in 2011.1 Now fans have the opportunity to follow the adventures of all their favorite characters from Skylands through the magic of comic books. The first issue, a prequel to the Skylanders Trap Team™ storyline, actually provides fans an inside look at where some of their favorite Skylanders came from, and even gives them a first look at a few all-new characters from the upcoming game.

IDW eh....Interesting choice of publisher. I shall have to keep an eye on this. If not for me then certainly for the lil' munchkins who are steadily coming to that age where they're wanting to play with everything. And there's only so many places I can hide my growing Skylanders collection. So the prospect of a comic instead to give them is quiiiite alluring.

RIP GhostRoaster. He's reanimated as TakeYourLemons but occasionally is resurrected from the beyond when needed.

IDW are currently raking it in with the MLP comics - it's most successful series to date - looks like they had some cash to splash on the Skylanders license. I'll certainly be looking forward to picking up the series!

Easiest solution, if you have a brick and mortar comic book store. Go in and make a pull list. If they aren't real happy about making you a pull list for just one comic thats not out yet, check with them on ordering it directly through Previews for you when it shows up in there.

I think it's currently up to July in comics for ordering. So Skylanders comics related stuff is likely to start showing up in there shortly.

If you arent worried about a physical copy, just get it on something like Comixology when its released on digital format.

Huh. Took 'em long enough. Not surprised it fell to IDW. They do a lot of kids comics like the Cartoon Network stuff and MLP.

I like physical. I used to use mailordercomics.com but apparently DCBS took them over. Comics is 50% cheaper over brick and mortar and I don't have to waste gas. I have comixology, but I use it to read golden and silver age stuff.

I really just need to know when it shows up in previews so I can order.

I'm glad we're finally getting a story that takes place inbetween the games. I wonder how they'll flesh out certain character's personality.
