Funko & IDW Publishing team up for Funko Universe Month comic books
This entry was posted on March 3, 2017
.You may know Funko Pop! figures from the toy aisle, but in May there will be a reason to hit the comic book shop if you're a fan of the big-headed and pint-sized stars.
May is Funko Universe Month -- and there will be a number of variant covers and one-shots where the iconic stars of a few franchises will be found as Pop! figures on comics from IDW Publishing.
It's a simple twist but it's one that should get the attention of a new collectors.
There will be one-shot issues for Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The X-Files, Strawberry Shortcake and Judge Dredd.
The variation covers will be found for Back to The Future No. 20, Orphan Black: Deviations No. 3, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency No. 8, Star Trek: Boldly Go No. 8, The Powerpuff Girls No. 1, Donald Duck No. 20, Mickey Mouse No. 20, Walt Disney’s Comics & Stories No. 738. (Buzz has dibs on Marty McFly.) Some will have more than one cover using actual toys, too.
The standard books appear to be 32-pagers at $3.99 a pop (no pun intended), while the one-shots are $4.99. A few of them can be seen in the gallery below.
