IDW Publishing officially announced via ICv2 Bobby Curnow will return to the company as the new editor-in-chief. Curnow, who worked at IDW from 2010 to 2022, joined Magma Comix two years ago as the company’s editor-in-chief. Not only that, but the former DC editor Andy Curry Joining the publisher as senior editor ninja turtles comics.
Kono commented: “The ancient wisdom tells us, ‘You can’t go home again,’ but I recently discovered newer, better ancient wisdom that says, ‘Actually, wait… yes, you can. ‘” IDW is where I learned the art of comic bookmaking and the joy of helping creators realize their vision. Today, the company is home to some of the most dynamic and creative talent in the industry, allowing us to deliver best-in-class licensed and creator-owned comics.
At the same time, Corey said, “I’m a first-generation Turtles fan. Forty years ago, I was one of the first kids to read comics, one of the first kids to watch cartoons, one of the first kids to play with toys, and one of the first kids to Curnow, CEO and publisher of IDW, was one of the kids who witnessed the turtles in action. David Jonas Full of praise for Khouri, Curnow said: “I have always known that he is very smart, creative and has the ability to communicate clearly, which are all important qualities of a good editor. When I discovered that he was also a huge fan of Ninja Turtles for many years As I’ve been following the IDW series, it suddenly became very clear: we found the man leading our Turtles on a dangerous path.
Speaking of dangerous times, the hirings of Curnow and Khouri come after a tumultuous few years for IDW. Kono and Jonas’ respective exes, Jamie S. Richand Mark Doyleboth left the company earlier this year after 2-3 years at the company: The former left the company Philip Sablikof an unnamed new publisher, while Doyle and several other employees were laid off to cut costs. The publisher still relies on a few licensed properties like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics to stay afloat, as well as the occasional creator-owned hit like Under the tree no one seesMigration from Hasbro Universe to Skybound to Dark Horse Acquisitions Despite Its Declining License Numbers Dungeons and Dragons right.
Regardless, hopefully Curnow and Curry will satisfy their bosses and shareholders.
