You think they are planning to sell this in the toy isle eventually? I was at Target the other day and came across a Voltron: Legendary Defenders GN in the Voltron section of the toy area.
Side note: I bought the Voltron comic and it was okay, it had a little bit of the charm of the Netflix series did not as much as I would have liked, Good buy if you want to support the series. |

Cool! Now I have a bigger incentive to visit my local comic book shop, Comic Logic, every month! Hopefully, this Yo-Kai Watch comic book series will be much better than the Noriyuki Konishi manga.

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised Pokémon never got a western comic adaptation. Interested to see how this turns out. I only do comics in digital format these days and Viz seem to only put out the Yo-Kai Watch manga in print, so I haven't read it. But I'll probably check this out assuming it's on Comixology. |

Oh my swirls, I did not see this coming.
The Attack on Titan anthology was a really interesting read so that makes me excited for this. IDW has a great track record with comics based on existing properties, I'd say this is in safe hands. |

Huh, I was going to ask if a Yo-kai Watch manga exists, but apparently, it does, and Viz is handling it. So it IS possible for Viz to handle the manga and another company to make American comics. IDW wasn't around when Pokémon was new though--maybe if they were around then, they would've made Pokémon western comics.
The Pokémon Company is even more protective than Nintendo, although I don't think it used to be that way. But you have a point: Whereas Nintendo is very protective, Level-5 seems willing to hand out licenses to Yo-kai Watch to anyone who asks, as they really, really want the franchise to be more popular outside of Japam. |

Is Yokai Watch already going through genwun syndrome in America?
The Yokai look fine, but the humans... what have they done to you Fumi-chan?

I wonder if this means that Yokai Watch is doing pretty well in the US, or if they're just trying more things to see what sticks. I hope it's the former, it's a pretty fun little series.

Waitaminute - if IDW comics is publishing this [and with their current schtick of combining everything Hasbro owned into one shared universe] you know what that means....
Transformers: Unicron Vs Robonyan FIGHT!
