Therefore Repent! to IDW

:: Posted by Bryan @ 7/16/2007 01:33:00 AM
Therefore Repent!, the new graphic novel illustrated by Sequential's own Salgood Sam and written by Jim Munroe, will be published in the U.S. by IDW, acording to an announcement emailed by the artist this weekend. The book, a black comedy about mutated urban survivors of the fundamentalist Christian "Rapture", will be published in Canada by Munroe's own self-publishing imprint, No Media Kings. The Canadian edition will debut August 14, in time for the Toronto Comics Art Festival, while the U.S. edition is scheduled for January, 2008.

According to the illustrator, "Negotiations went really smooth with them and [IDW publisher] Ted Adams was enthusiastic about the book so that's all great, feel good about them handling it."

Founded in 1999, IDW is often described as the 5th largest U.S. comics publisher by Diamond Distribution, and is best known for its horror comics and licensed comics properties like CSI and Transformers.
