‘Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees,’ ‘They Called Us Enemy,’ More IDW Books Head To WEBTOON

IDW Publishing is teaming up with WEBTOON to make vertical scrolling versions of some of their books available on the popular platform. It’ll all start on April 25 with Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, They Called Us Enemy, and Godzilla: Unnatural Disasters.

“WEBTOON has become the destination for comics of all kinds, including some of the biggest franchises in entertainment,” said Yongsoo Kim, Head of Global WEBTOON at WEBTOON Entertainment via a press release provided to Comic Book Club. “This partnership with IDW Publishing is an exciting step in expanding our diverse library and connecting more fans with the stories they love in a whole new way.”

Added Davidi Jonas, CEO & Publisher of IDW Publishing, “Partnering with WEBTOON to bring a selection of our beloved IDW books to their platform is an exciting step forward in expanding our reach and engaging with a broader audience. We’re thrilled to work alongside such an innovative platform, and we can’t wait to see how our stories resonate with WEBTOON’s global community. This collaboration is an important part of our mission to bring comics to fans in creative and accessible ways.”

The joint publishers promise this is the first of many comics coming to the platform (may I humbly suggest you do Locke & Key next?), and you can check out the loglines and thumbnails, below:

• Godzilla: Unnatural Disaster – The three-part saga featuring Godzilla’s iconic rogues gallery, epic kaiju battles, and a thrilling adventure spanning different time periods – including a trip to the underworld.
• Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees – A dark and twisted tale about Samantha, a small-town bear who lives a double life. By day, she’s the helpful hardware store owner, and by night, she’s a serial killer.
• They Called Us Enemy – The graphic memoir follows actor George Takei as he revisits his haunting childhood in American concentration camps during World War II in a gripping tale of courage, country, loyalty, and love.
