Briefly: Our pals over at Legendary just announced a great new partnership, and a trio of new titles for the Legendary Comics imprint.
The company has entered into an exclusive multi-year sales and distribution agreement with Penguin Random House Publisher Services, that will service Legendary to the book trades.
“We want to deliver great comics, and this new agreement with Penguin Random House enables us to be much more effective in bringing our stories to readers. We are very excited by this new venture,” said David Sadove of Legendary’s Publishing Operations.
Jeff Abraham, President of Penguin Random House Publisher Services, added “Legendary is known for creating some of the most popular films of the past decade. We’re excited to partner with Legendary Comics and to help grow their publishing unit into a thriving participant in the graphic novel market.”
That’s cool, but we’re more excited for new titles, and as mentioned, Legendary just announced three of them:
A Town Called Dragon : Modern-day America and ancient mythology collide when the last dragon egg finally hatches, and an ordinary group of citizens must unite to defeat it. The book will be written by Judd Winick and drawn by Geoff Shaw. This one will launch in September 2014.
Epochalypse : When a mysterious space-time phenomenon causes 600 years of human history to collapse into a single era, an elite team of Resynchronization officers must wage a war against the very laws of time. Epochalypse is written by Jonathan Hennessey and drawn by Shane Davis and will launch in Fall 2014.
The Harvester: A supernatural suspense story unfolds when two rebellious investigators discover that the nightmarish urban legend of “The Harvester” is more real – and more dangerous – than they ever imagined. The Harvester is written by Brandon Seifert, drawn by Eric Battle, and will release in 2015.
Well be sure to share more info on each project as soon as we have it!
