Looking for some free comics? IDW has announced a partnership with Webtoon to run comics from its library on the popular webcomic app. These won’t be new ones, but existing comics that came out years ago, retrofitted to read better in the Webtoon format.
The offerings are kaiju (Godzilla), thriller/horror (Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees, a comic about a domestic bear who’s also a serial murderer), and biography (George Takei’s They Called Us Enemy).
It’s worth noting that IDW isn’t the first comics company to think of hopping on the platform, whether for promotional purposes or otherwise. “Rivals” like Marvel and DC, even Archie, have been there for years — the difference being they actually produce original content. It debuts on Webtoon first and then in graphic novel form later. IDW is taking the opposite approach, using Webtoon as a gateway to potentially add new fans — if they like the stories, they might buy some more current IDW comics.
The three books listed above will launch on Webtoon April 25, with additional titles to be announced at a later date.
