From: Sun Times IDW Publishing is taking jabs at the president and other public figures while also sharing a comic view with legendary rock star GENE SIMMONS of KISS. Looking to breathe new life into the comic book genre, IDW has partnered with GENE SIMMONS to form a new imprint, Simmons Comic Group. Simmons, a longtime comic book fan, is hands-on with the venture that will yield several titles, including a soon-to-be released book by Simmons' son, Nick, which he both wrote and illustrated. Wanting to resurrect some of the Marvel KISS comics from earlier years, IDW approached the rock legend about a joint venture. The company walked away impressed by Simmons' knowledge of the comic book industry and his interesting techniques for selling different titles. First up will be "GENE SIMMONS House of Horrors," which debuts July 18. "Simmons' love for comic books was apparent and he really wanted to be a part of the process," said Ryall. Simmons wrote the introduction and epilogue for the 64-page book. The Simmons group's following release is set for August -- "Dominatrix," which Ryall describes as a T&A meets the CIA. "IDW is happy where it's at," said Ryall. "We have a lot cool projects, and with GENE SIMMONS we are positioned to reach a wider base and expose more people to the world of comic books." |
