Yes! A monthly, ongoing series! IDW is the publisher. They've been doing one-shots for about a year or two, and now they decided to pick it up as a series. The main artist is Dan Schoening, so I'm ecstatic about that, although the writer, who also draws, might pencil some special issues, along with a couple of other artists who are attached to the project or interested in participating.

I just realized it was the official announcement of variant covers that I linked to, but hey, it is the latest news!

I'm more excited than I probably should be, seeing as I never managed to read The Hobbit. I got bored halfway through the chapter where the Dwarves arrive at Bag End.
