Nice to see more great things coming in the Blade Runner Universe.

 

ALCON MEDIA GROUP AND TITAN PUBLISHING GROUP FORGE BLADE RUNNER CO-PUBLISHING ALLIANCE
NEW BOOKS AND COMICS FOR SCIENCE FICTION FRANCHISE
LOS ANGELES, CA, JULY 12, 2018 – Alcon Media Group and London-based Titan
Publishing, a leading force in genre and pop culture publishing, are partnering in a
new co-publishing venture initially focused on the Blade Runner universe.

In a joint statement by Alcon co-founders and co-CEOs Broderick Johnson and Andrew
Kosove, and Titan’s co-founders, Nick Landau and Vivian Cheung, the partners stated
that the companies will develop and publish a variety of both fiction and
non-fiction print media. The program will feature new, in canon comics and graphic
novels that dive deeper into the Blade Runner world as well as a variety of
publications focused on the visual and technical sides of the production process.

Editorial duties will be handled by Titan’s David Manley-Leach, and Alcon’s director
of publishing, Jeff Conner.

States Kosove and Johnson, “In partnering with the exceptional Titan Comics and
Titan Books, we’re confident that the world of Blade Runner will continue to
organically grow in a way that refuses to sacrifice the quality, tone and high
standards of this beloved property.”

“We are extremely excited to be publishing Blade Runner comics and illustrated
books,” said Titan publishers Nick Landau and Vivian Cheung. “The Blade Runner
universe has barely been explored; there is so much more there. It’s an honour to be
bringing this world to life in new ways for a new audience – and to reveal tales
from that universe that you’ve never seen before.”

Titan has three-decade history of success in the pop culture sphere, from their
celebrated Doctor Who publications (comics, magazines and books) to tie-in novels
set in the Marvel and DC universes. They also release a robust line of original
genre novels, from hardboiled crime to supernatural horror, cyberpunk to
intergalactic adventure.
