IDW Publishing has announced that veteran entertainment and media executive Greg Goldstein has joined the company as Chief Operating Officer.  Goldstein will manage the company’s day-to-day operations as well as help guide IDW as it expands its existing product lines and enters new categories.

Goldstein is an industry veteran since working for Topps Comics followed by stints at Inkworks, Activision, Acclaim and most recently Upper Deck.  He also founded and ran his own entertainment concern, Popmania.
