Weinstein Company, and due for release in Q1 2014.

year as Titan Comics has been all about establishing our brand, and proving to
retailers and readers that we have a unique voice, a distinctive catalog, and
that we can deliver on our promises. Well, we’ve delivered both resurrected and
refurbished classics from the backlist and jaw-dropping stunners from the
vanguard of the new, so 2014 is going to be all about blowing the bloody doors
off!”
