WEBTOON Entertainment Inc., a global leader in digital storytelling, has announced an exclusive partnership with IDW Publishing that will bring reimagined webcomic adaptations of some of IDW’s most acclaimed titles to the platform. Launching on April 25, the first three series—Godzilla: Unnatural Disasters, Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees, and They Called Us Enemy—will be available only on WEBTOON’s English-language platform, with more titles set to be revealed soon.
“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. “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.”
Davidi Jonas, CEO and Publisher of IDW Publishing, added, “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.”
The initial lineup includes:
-
Godzilla: Unnatural Disasters – A three-part epic that features explosive kaiju battles, iconic monsters from Godzilla’s rogues gallery, and an adventure that stretches across time and even into the underworld.
-
Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees – A chilling story of Samantha, a seemingly sweet small-town bear who runs a hardware store by day—and commits brutal murders by night.
-
They Called Us Enemy – George Takei’s powerful graphic memoir revisits his childhood spent in U.S. internment camps during World War II, telling a deeply personal story of injustice, resilience, and hope.
WEBTOON continues to collaborate with top names in entertainment and publishing. The platform has recently partnered with DC Comics, Archie Comics, HYBE artists (BTS, TXT, and ENHYPEN), Ubisoft, McDonald’s, Duolingo, and more, cementing its role as a major force in digital comics.
With the addition of IDW’s titles, WEBTOON is expanding its ever-growing catalog of stories, giving fans even more ways to connect with their favorite characters—and discover new ones.
