I don’t think this is much of a surprise. V. E. Schwab’s Shades of Magic series has done well, it’s a New York Times bestselling fantasy series and is published by Titan. Titan Comics is stepping into the ring to take the property even further and given that there’s a film adaptation in the works […]

Doctor Who, Dark Souls and Warhammer 40K writer George Mann has a new project and its steampunk. Titan Comic’s Newbury & Hobbes follows special agents Sir Maurice Newbury and Miss Victoria Hobbes through the dangerous and alternative Victorian England as they tackle criminals.

Yo ho ho: A review of Sea of Thieves comic book #1

BHP Comics snaps up Killtopia
Card Shark Comics made a name for itself with Dave Cook’s Bust and Vessels. Both titles were neatly run and effective Kickstarters.

Shades of Magic is a New York Times bestseller which features parallel versions of London. There’s Red London in which life and magic is revered under the Maresh Dynasty. Then there’s Grey London, a drag realm without magic […]
