AIPT CONVERSATION WITH INVADER EIC, MIKE PERKINS
Why Invader Comics Might Be the Most Interesting Indie Publisher Right Now
In a revealing new interview with AIPT, Invader Comics editor-in-chief Mike Perkins breaks down how his passion for storytelling — sparked by books like Preacher — has shaped his approach to publishing. Rather than flooding the market with dozens of titles, Invader focuses on curated, creator-driven work that deserves attention and care. Perkins talks about rebranding from his earlier company, supporting indie creators more sustainably, and why belief — not trends — should drive comics publishing.

INVADING SAN DIEGO COMIC CON 2025
We may not have a booth this year… but the Invader crew is still heading to San Diego Comic-Con 2025 — and we’re doing it the old-fashioned way: roaming the aisles, crashing panels, talking comics, and maybe summoning a few demonic forces.
Think of us as wandering NPCs in your Comic-Con questline. No map. No booth. Just Keith and Kevin, fueled by tacos, caffeine, and chaotic creative energy, spreading the gospel of weird wherever we go.
If you spot us out in the wild, say hi. Ask us what’s coming next from INVADER. Or if you want to try to connect during the madness, hit me up at Kevin@invadercomics.com — I might be slow to reply, dazzled by the bright lights and distracted by the inevitable probing of the convention floor.
This isn’t just a trip —it’s an invasion without a table.
*OUR FIRST LUNAR LISTING PLUS NEW KICKSTARTER LAUNCHES TOMORROW!!
OUR FIRST LUNAR LISTING
PLUS NEW KICKSTARTER LAUNCHES TOMORROW!!
It's been a wild year. With Diamond Distribution declaring bankruptcy in January, we were left in a precarious position regarding getting our books into bookstores. While they claimed there would be no disruption in their services, they left us with thousands of dollars in unpaid invoices, books that weren't getting sent to shops, and frankly no real hope for the future.
But we quickly pivoted and got set up to have our books distributed by Lunar instead! And we're very proud to announce that our very first Lunar listing is live RIGHT NOW! It's Jimmie Robinson's "Artillery" and you are going to LOVE IT!
Heading to GFEST!
I went to my first G-Fest in 2013, a time when Godzilla was in the middle of a minor lull in popularity. At the time, the most recent Godzilla film (final wars) had come out nine years prior, a recent Kaiju film (Pacific rim) had rekindled interest in the Kaiju genre, and Godzilla’s return to the big screen (2014) was a year away.
I was there to support my then-new Kaiju-meets-HP Lovercraft comic Kodoja, then three issues into what would become an 18-issue story arc. The vibes were energetic, and I was overwhelmed by the scene - a weekend-long celebration of giant monsters, especially Godzilla. That first year, I did everything, including leaving my table a little too often for a cool panel, signing, photo op, or indie film. The sense of joy at the show was amazing, and best summed up by <Godzilla comic artist> Matt Frank in a panel we were both part of - “when we go back home, all of us are ‘that Godzilla fan’ in our friend groups, but when we’re here, we all get to share the experience and community.”
I’ve been able to attend most of the shows over the last decade-plus, watching the show grow, change venues, host original music concerts, and increase in attendance every year, especially in 2024 when we were graced with two Godzilla films, one of which was the best G-film of all time. The constant has been the joy and the sense of community. This show is the one time every year I don’t have to ask people if they like giant monsters!
What makes the show stand out for me are the little things - the Godzilla game room, the running stream of films made by passionate fans, the motherlode of Godzilla toys in the dealers’ room, and the “host hotel-only” G-channel available in all rooms that plays giant monsters films, TV shows, videos, and shorts all weekend long.
If you love giant monsters and haven’t been to G-Fest, I recommend you go at least once for the experience. Odds are, you’ll want to come back.
