SHELLY BOND STARTS IMPRINT AT IDW
IDW Publishing has announced the arrival of Shelly Bond to its editorial ranks as senior editor, special projects, where she will oversee IDW's new Black Crown imprint.
Bond previously served as VP-executive editor of DC Comics' Vertigo imprint.
"I've long admired from afar Shelly's track record and have been a huge fan of the direction, vision, and creative teams she's assembled on her books over the years," said Chris Ryall, IDW's chief creative officer. "I'm ecstatic about the idea of getting to work directly with her in building Black Crown into the ruling class of creator-owned comics."
The title Black Crown represents not only the name of the creator-owned imprint, but also a pub that anchors a mysterious street that connects each creator-owned title. Top creators will tell stories of a singular vision and point of view but will also have the opportunity to intersect with the tapestry of this unprecedented shared environment by way of owning storefront real estate that correlates to their particular creations.
"If you know anything about my reputation, you know that I'm selective about story, art and design," Bond said. "The same applies to a publisher. I can't think of a better fit for Black Crown than with IDW. They appreciate, share, and champion my vision for creating concepts that are first and foremost incredible, unconventional, and riveting comic books. I can't wait to announce the impressive coterie of creators, both familiar and next wave, who are working as we speak to bring back the bravado to creator-owned comics."
Stories from the Black Crown Pub will be extensively previewed at July's Comic-Con International and will launch in October.

GET A CLUE: IDW Publishing has announced a five-issue Clue series, based on the board game from Hasbro, in June. Paul Allor will write the series, illustrated by Nelson Daniel.
"In the grand tradition of the Clue franchise, we're crafting a fun, exciting and at times completely bonkers story that will keep people guessing until the very end," Allor said. "I truly can't wait for comics readers to step into the mansion and find out just what we have in store for them."
Here's how the book is described:
"The new series opens after the doomed Mr. Boddy is murdered at his own dinner party and everyone is a suspect! Will Boddy's body be the last to fall, or is it just the beginning? Readers will have to follow the clues to solve the mystery, which deepens even further as issue one will feature three alternate endings!"
