Titan Comics are expanding their Hard Case Crime comics imprint in January 2017 with the next title in the critically acclaimed line, crime noir thriller (re)Assignment.

Published for the first time in English, Hard Case Crime’s (re)Assignment will bring Walter Hill (director of The Warriors), Matz and Jef’s comic book that inspired the upcoming Neo-Noir movie – starring Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver – to comic stores in 2017.

The (re)Assignment movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival this year and is already one of the most talked about films of the year.

In (re)Assignment, hitman Frank Kitchen takes a job to eliminate a celebrated fashion designer who’s fallen behind on his debts to the mob. The story takes a savage turn when the victim’s sister, a sociopathic surgeon, decides to punish Frank in a unique way. Abducted and operated on against his will, Frank Kitchen awakens in an altered condition – but still with a hitman’s hunger for revenge…

(re)Assignment hits comic stores in January 2017.
