In advance of New York Comic Con, Titan Comics announced comics for two properties: an English translation of the noir French comic (re)Assignment and a comic book tie-in for the new Tekken video game.

(re)Assignment centers on a hitman out for revenge after being operated on against his will. The comic by Walter Hill (director, The Warriors) and creators Matz and Jef was originally published in France. It will see its first English-language release under Titan’s Hard Case Crime imprint, which also recently released Hill’s Triggerman (see “Preview: 'Triggerman' #1”). The comic inspired a Hill-directed film starring Michelle Rodriguez (Fast & Furious) and Sigourney Weaver (Aliens). (re)Assignment will be in stores January 2017.

Bandai Namco is set to release the seventh installment in the long-lived and popular Tekken video game franchise in early 2017. In conjunction with the release, Titan is producing a comic book tie-in. Details on the creative team are imminent, and the comic is expected in 2017.
