IDW Publishing

Idea and Design Works, LLC, also known as IDW Publishing, is an American comic book publisher founded in 1999 that specializes in comic book adaptations of licensed media franchises. The company has held the comic book license to Toho's Godzilla franchise, previously held by Marvel Comics and Dark Horse Comics in prior decades, since 2011. The company has so far published three ongoing series, eight five-issue miniseries, and a series of quarterly one-shots based on the license. IDW's first comic series utilizing the Godzilla license, Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, was published beginning in 2011, while its most recent comic, Godzilla Rivals: Vs. Mothra, was published in September of 2021. IDW is the first comic publisher to acquire the rights to other Toho monsters besides Godzilla, and has by far published the largest volume of Godzilla media of any comic publisher. IDW did not publish any new Godzilla comics from 2017 to 2020, but resumed publishing new comics in 2021 after reaching a new publishing deal with Toho.
