LOS ANGELES, CA, JULY 12, 2018\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0<\/span>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.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement by Alcon co-founders and co-CEOs Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove, and Titan\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Editorial duties will be handled by Titan\u2019s David Manley-Leach, and Alcon\u2019s director of publishing, Jeff Conner.<\/p>\n

States Kosove and Johnson, \u201cIn partnering with the exceptional Titan Comics and Titan Books, we\u2019re confident that the world of\u00a0Blade Runner<\/em>\u00a0will continue to organically grow in a way that refuses to sacrifice the quality, tone and high standards of this beloved property.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely excited to be publishing\u00a0Blade Runner<\/em>\u00a0comics and illustrated books,\u201d said Titan publishers Nick Landau and Vivian Cheung. \u201cThe Blade Runner universe has barely been explored; there is so much more there. It\u2019s an honour to be bringing this world to life in new ways for a new audience \u2013 and to reveal tales from that universe that you\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
