Dynamite Acquires Pathfinders for Comics


Dynamite Entertainment has acquired a license to produce comics based on Paizo Publishing's Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. The first comics will be launched in 2012.

The Pathfinder RPG has become a strong competitor for long-time RPG category leader Dungeons and Dragons, with sales that top WotC's D&D RPG at times. This new license sets up a competitive situation on the comic front, where IDW has the license for comics based on Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons and Dragons. The comics based on D&D appear to be settling in at around 8500 copies per issue in the comic store market, with higher sales on first issues, etc.

Paizo and Dynamite are planning cross-promotions to raise awareness of the Pathfinder comics.
