New A1 #1 Launches Today + New Trailer!

Posted on June 12, 2013 by Brett

A1, the classic award-winning anthology series by Titan Comics and Atomeka debuts today with three fantastic ongoing strips: Weirding Willows, Odyssey and Carpe DIEm.

A1 has a long pedigree in comics. Launched in the late 1980s as an outlet for the creator-owned stories of Dave Elliott and Garry Leach, the award-winning anthology quickly became a place where big-name industry friends could follow their creator-owned desires and publish their own material.

Elliott is taking A1 back to its roots, with three top-grade tales created by himself and his closest artistic friends, released as part of a co-publishing venture between Titan Comics and Atomeka.

A1 returns monthly, showcasing three brand-new ongoing stories reflecting the variety it has always been known for:

Weirding Willows, by writer Dave Elliott and artists Barnaby Bagenda, Sami Basri, Sakti Yuwono and Jessica Kholinne, sees the worlds of Wonderland, OZ, Neverland, Mars, Pellucidar and Elysium leak through portals into the little English town of Willow Weir, as Alice and her allies defend her world from the things that would come through those portals to destroy them!

Odyssey, by writer Dave Elliott and artists Garrie Gastonny and Sakti Yuwono, follows an immortal military superhero, out of place and time, who finds himself in the middle of an eternal war for mankind between Angels and Demons!

Carpe DIEm, by writer W. H. Rauf and artist/creator Rhoald Marcelius, follows an offbeat group of the world’s seven greatest assassins: one for each day of the week! Their leader is always a Sir Monday… but the rest of the team always hate Mondays! A riot of color and concepts in a Tank Girl vein.

A1 #1 comes with three main covers to collect: Weirding Willows cover by artist, Stanley ‘Artgerm’ Lau; Odyssey cover by series artists Gastonny and Yuwono; Carpe DIEm cover by series artists, Rhoald Marcelius.

A1 #1 hits comic stores today, but each strip is also available to read digitally from comiXology and features extra editorial content not available in the printed version. Weirding Willows is available to read digitally now onComiXology, Carpe DIEm appears digitally on June 19 and Odyssey on June 26

Titan Comics Launch Tomorrowland!

Posted on April 2, 2013 by Brett

Titan Comics and Atomeka have announced a new comic series Tomorrowland, a four issue series by Paul Jenkins and Stellar Labs. The comic is based on the Tomorrowland electronic dance music festival which will expand for the first time outside of Belgium to Chattahooche Hills, Georgia this September 27 through 29.

The music fest has already sold out of its 180,000 tickets for the Belgium festival which takes place in July. That sell out occurred in under one second. Attendees are from over 214 countries and the festival features some of the hottest music acts.

Paul Jenkins and the team at Stellar Labs get to adapt the comic which follows DJs Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, two young stars who have become the public face of the Tomorrowland festival as they are drawn into an impossible adventure to save the vital spark of creativity from the forces that would destroy it! Dimitri and Mike, two Belgian brothers, have been closely associated to the festival for the past few years and were the obvious choice to lead the way in this new Tomorrowland adventure.

There are two worlds – the world we see, and the one we sense. The world we see is a harsh place: divided by wars and political extremism, religious fundamentalism and avarice. The world we sense hides in plain sight: you can see it in your peripheral vision, moving, vibrant. It’s a world of feeling, where art, music and science intertwine, where the written word is a powerful tool of creation.

In these two worlds, we each carry two avatars – one embodying destruction, one connected to creation. This is the way of the universe. But creation and destruction wage an eternal war for the energy we carry inside us. It’s a war that we are rapidly losing…

Tomorrowland #1 will hit comic stores on July 17, 2013. The series will also be available to read day and date on the iPad, iPhone, Web, Android and Kindle Fire, exclusively through the comiXology app and comiXology.com

Titan Comics Launches Sharky!

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Brett

Titan Comics and ATOMEKA have announced Sharky – the first in an irreverent, thrilling, genre-mashing graphic novel series by Dave Elliott and Alex Horley.

Sharky has been raised alone by his single mom, with no idea of who his ‘love’em and leave’em’ father was. Hitting the brick wall called puberty, he discovers that the ‘no-good-S.O.B.’ who contributed to his genes is none other than Odin, king of the Norse Gods – and his mother is a child of Zeus, ruler of Olympus!

Now, whenever something sets off his hormones, he transforms into the demi-god Sharky – complete with a pumped-up body The Rock would kill to have – and the strength of Hercules!

When two of the black sheep of his family tree visit Earth and create havoc by raising the dead as an army to take over the world, Sharky has to pick sides, with the fate of the planet at stake. With no time for training, it’s a case of working out Superhero 101 as he goes – and if he fails, his friends’ lives are forfeit!

Sharky also comes complete with cameo appearances from indie comics favorites The Mask, Vampirella, Savage Dragon, Milk & Cheese, Mr Monster and Flaming Carrot!

Sharky hits shelves, both physical and digital, September 11, 2013.
