What's IDW?

[Threadkiller]

From http://www.acronymfinder.com

IDW Ideal Weight
IDW Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (German: Institute of Auditors )
IDW Institut für Dokumentationswesen

So, as far as news goes. The Institute of Auditors has reported that the Investigative-Derived Waste has reached its ideal weight as determined by the Institute for Documentationswesensnorgen

[karmattack]

They publish books, graphic novels and comics. (http://store.idwpublishing.com/product_info.php?products_id=180)

[karmattack]

Ah yes! And don't forget about the International Dolphin Watch! /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Cool, Metal Gear the Comic, that's like One major Terrorist per issue. For something I know nothing about, I can't wait for it.

[FanGirl]

I, too, am excited to hear the news that I don't know anything about. I hear that news may be released sometime this week.

You think the person with the news might respond about it or are we being to subtle?

[DangerSeeker]

I have no idea what any of this is about. I just lie in the gutters all day, editing my fan-fic anout Indian Chief.

[Ryall]

No shit! I wish someone would post something about them. They're a great up-and-coming company, I think they should be talked about more and more here. Especially tomorrow. Tomorrow seems a very good time to talk about them more.

[Dave]

Why can't we talk about them now? This is a company i know nothing about.

[FanGirl]

I hear that after tomorrow's annoucement they are going to be one of the coolest companies ever. Their sales are going to shoot through the roof. Everyone here will at least know who they are after tomorrow.

[DangerSeeker]

It's a shame I don't work at a comic distributor, where I'd be able to reccommend their books whenever I get a chance.

What are the odds of them acquiring the ROM license?

[PftLBritt]

Mmm.. I wonder what happens tomorrow? I, for one, cannot wait..

[DangerSeeker]

Look, newb, you can't just go advertising on your first post that you have a column on...

Oh. Heheh.

Good stuff, man.

[PftLBritt]

Hey, I gotta pimp it somewhere..

Thanks for the compliment. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif Made my day.

[Omaru]

I've only flicked through for now as I'm about to go sleep, but looks interesting enough and I look forward to reading.

[Ryall]

Here's some IDW News (http://www.comicon.com/pulse/) for y'all.

[Razorback]

Congratulations, Ryall!

Are you leaving us?!

[Ryall]

Leaving you? Nah. You need me here to keep you honest, I think, so I'm staying. I'll just be talking up IDW books more frequently now.

[Razorback]

Cool. This place wouldn't be the same without your pinko-propaganda. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

But seriously, you have done great work here and deserve every bit of IDW.

[karmattack]

What?! That's not what I meant at all! I just wanted to know about the Metal Gear Solid comic.

Congratulations, Chris. That's awesome news. Maybe I'll get all motivated to draw up some more comics since I have someone in authority to blackball into getting them published!

Also, I had some festivities all set up, but I started celebrating without you. Sorry, man.

Seriously, congrats. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

[Razorback]

Can I write the comics? I know Ryall won't publish my work so I will use the name Razornotsoback. Deal?

[karmattack]

Good enough for me!

[Razorback]

Some day they will link to this thread when they talk about the birth of the greatest team of story tellers ever known!!!

[DangerSeeker]

And us, the message board hacks who almost stopped them!

Or did you mean...

Congrats, Chris!

[Omaru]

Yeah Congrats, just think if you had this gig sooner you coulda paid for the wedding much quicker /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

[jjcourtright]

Alternatively, he can pay off his wedding bill quicker, now. Congrats man.

[FanGirl]

Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!

Now Zens and I have even more of a reason to get you drunk at comicon. I have the alcohol money all budgeted out. And no excuses either. You must come drinking with us!

Congrats! Congrats ! Congrats!

[jjcourtright]

Well...thanks...but...it's Chris that has the new job...not me.

[Razorback]

Fangirl hasn't really caught on to the whole "click reply on the person you are replying to" thing. Or, if she has, she is refusing to conform. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

[ILovePapaSmurf]

<font color="purple">Congrats Chris! You are movin' on up! You deserve it! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif</font color>

[FanGirl]

Scroll all the way up or reply to the last post....hmmm...

[Razorback]

Everyone else is doing it! Come on. Join the dark side.

[FanGirl]

Never!

[Razorback]

Ryall never told you how to use the reply button correctly!

[DangerSeeker]

It's almost instinct, and keeps things organized.

[Threadkiller]

That news kicks ass! Congratulations. Does this mean we are going to be seeing a Monkey Man book from IDW in the future? If you need any unreliable and incompetent help keeping up with your duties on the 'shoot you need look no further than your loyal message board regulars.

[Ryall]

You guys all rule! Thanks for the nice words.

Incidentally, no, I ain't leaving this site, either, in case I didn't make that part clear. Same old daily Poop.

[MattSinger]

I've already talked in email to Chris about this, but let me just repeat:

CONGRATS CHRIS!

[Ryall]

More importantly...what'd you think of SPIDER-MAN 2? Nothing but awesome, right? Right?

[Omaru]

Fair enough you will still be editing and admistratoring here, but what about your weekly coumns, wil they still be coming out? and if so, will they still be weekly?

[Ryall]

&gt;but what about your weekly coumns, wil they still be coming out? and if so, will they still be weekly?

That's the plan, yeah. I don't wanna change anything here if I don't have to.

[TomHarrington]

Congratulations, man. Glad you’ll be sticking around, but does this mean you’ll have even less time to play with us here?
