Washington [United States], December 11 (ANI): The imprint Skybound, run by the creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman, is negotiating with Hasbro to obtain their two works "GI Joe" and "Transformers" "Comic publishing license. According to the "Hollywood Report", this potential transaction will be a huge loss for IDW. IDW has been producing these two comics since the mid-2000s. As we all know, Kirkman is a loyal fan of toy brands. It is said that he personally participated in the activities of chasing copyright and is not expected to write any new comics. In addition, if the deal is concluded, the new book is not expected to be available until 2023. Comics have played an important role in the success of both brands, especially "GI Joe". When Hasbro relaunched its toy series under the name "GI Joe: A True American Hero" in 1982, it partnered with Marvel to launch a comic match and a Saturday morning cartoon. Each has been a huge success, helping to establish the visibility of characters such as Snake Eye and Storm Shadow. The show originally produced by Marvel started in 1983-86 (another version started in 1989-92), but the comics lasted until 1994.
This title was a good impetus for Marvel, whose "Star Wars" comics helped the company survive in the late 1970s, but gradually faded as the 1980s faded. Devil's Due received a publishing license in 2001 and restored the series from 2001 to 2008, when IDW acquired it. Marvel also began publishing "Transformers" comics, and launched its main works in 1984. Dreamwave Productions, a discontinued entity, was briefly licensed in the early 2000s, and then IDW was licensed in 2005. Licensed property is a major part of IDW's business plan, but in a disturbing trend, it has been losing rights recently. According to reports, IDW also lost the copyright of the all-age Star Wars comics and the all-age Marvel comics this year. According to sources, Hasbro has been dissatisfied with the output of publishers in recent years. Skybound is also a film and television production entity responsible for overseeing the huge "Walking Dead" screen franchise and distributing its books through Image Comics. Imprint is known for its long-term hits, such as "Invincible", adapted into Amazon's popular animated series "Firepower";'Birth Right'; and'Clear Destiny'. "J0e" and "Transformers" will be part of the company's expanded license, which this year published comics based on the video games "Summoner War" and "Trover Save the Universe". The title centered on the building block brand Lego will debut next year. (ANI)
