So, after weeks of waiting, ICv2 FINALLY released the .

KOM #4 sold 7,570 copies, placing it at #13 on IDW's charts - a MAJOR drop from the previous month. G&G #1, on the other hand, sold 13,292 copies, only about 1,500 less than KOM's previous average, and placed at #2 on IDW's chart. Only Rocketeer Adventures #2 (which sold 14,912) topped G&G #1.

I'm disappointed, I'd hoped both G&G and KOM would be in the top 5. On the bright side, taken together Godzilla as a franchise sold 20,862 comics, which is decent IMO. Hopefully both series sold better in July.

Well, the July numbers are out. Godzilla Goliaths and Gangsters dropped from #158 to #162 selling 11,611 copies. Thats a drop of 1,681 copies from issue one..

On the positive side Godzilla KOM rose from #228 to #148 selling 13,750 copies. Thats an increase of 6,180 copies from issue four!!!!

Well, the last issue of KOM was much better than the previous one. As for Gangsters and Goliaths I'm not sure. That comic just gets better with each issue. Maybe numbers will pick up for Issue #4 given the amazing nature of Issue #3.

Wow, the thought just occurred to me - any chance of getting Yuji Kaida to do a cover for one of these? I mean, I love Bob Eggleton but if you asked ME who the end-all-be-all kaiju artist was, it might well be Mr. Kaida.

AICN COMICS SDCC FALLOUT:

[quote="AMBUSH BUG"]
Greetings, folks. Ambush Bug here with another interview I conducted at the San Diego Comic Con. Special thanks to AICN’s unsung hero, Muldoon, for transcribing all of these back and forthings. Expect a ton of interviews to be released daily until my interview well is dry (and believe me, it’s going to be a while after this con). Eric Powell’s creation THE GOON has rocketed the writer/artist to superstardom. With a film in the works, THE GOON couldn’t be hotter. Powell is also an aficionado of all things GODZILLA and wrote the first GODZILLA series for IDW. I had a chance to talk with Mr. Powell about both THE GOON and GODZILLA and more. Enjoy!

AMBUSH BUG (BUG): Alright, so here we go. I’m here with Eric Powell at the IDW booth. How are you doing right now?

ERIC POWELL (EP): I’m good. I’m just wading through the madness.

BUG: Yeah, this is day two and a half?

EP: It feels like it’s day 50 at this point.

BUG: Yeah, it feels like it. So you have a couple of projects coming out through IDW, mainly GODZILLA. Let’s talk about that first. How is that going for you?

EP: It’s fun. I was always a huge GODZILLA fan. When I was a kid they used to play some of the movies on Sunday afternoon and there was only Godzilla. I had the giant SHOGUN WARRIORS toy and you know all Godzilla, so the chance to actually do a comic…

BUG: Was that the one where you pressed the lever in the back and tongue came out?



BUG: I actually talked with Phil Hester at C2E2 about the fact that Godzilla came out right after the whole earthquake over there. That was one of those just terrible coincidences that happened. What were the reactions that people had when that came out so quickly after that happened? It was the same week I think it came out, right?

EP: I don’t remember exactly, but not only that, there were a series of really weird coincidences with GODZILLA. There were…right in a row Tracy and I wrote these issues and we had kind of signaling the coming of the monsters, like dead birds, dead fish, earthquakes, and in the news literally the following two weeks “Mass dead fish float up on shore. No one knows the reason why.â€

Bleh. He's a casual fan at best.

Next writer, please!
