COMICS CONTINUUM: NEWS IN BRIEF

* LOOK, GODZILLA: IDW Publishing has announced a June 19 launch for Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, an ongoing series from writer Chris Mowry and artist Matt Frank.

"What we're doing with this series is giving readers that same focus on monsters that Legends had, while telling stories set in IDW's established Godzilla universe," Mowry said. "Readers can look forward to the return of some of our human cast and the introduction of a number of new ones, but the monster roster is larger than it has ever been, using nearly all of Toho's film creations to give readers battles never before seen."

Here's how the series is described:

"The entire world is opened up to the flying, stomping, smashing terror that can only come from the gnashing fangs, slashing claws, and otherworldly powers of destruction that these giant monsters wield. What will Godzilla do when he's suddenly not the only giant lizard in our small pond?"

The first issue will feature covers by Frank, Bob Eggleton and Arthur Adams.

* THUMBPRINT: IDW Publishing has announced a June 19 launch for Thumbprint, a three-issue horror series from writers Joe Hill and Jason Ciaramella and art by Vic Malhotra.

Here's how the series, based on Hill's novella, is described:

"When Private Mallory Grennan is dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Army, she hopes to start a new life back home, far away from the things she'd seen and done in Abu Ghraib prison. Mal's crimes, committed beneath a harsh Arabian sun, throw a shadow long enough to reach all the way to the United States. What started there, will end here -- in blood. Over Thumbprint's three gripping issues, fans will truly feel what it's like to be haunted… and hunted."

The first issue will also feature a variant cover by Vincent Chong, the artist of the Thumbprint novella.

* IRON MAN ANIME: Marvel has released a new trailer for Iron Man: Rise of Technovore, arriving on April 18.

* PILOT CASTING: Michiel Huisman has been cast as Drake Sinclair in NBC's The Sixth Gun pilot.
