Bit of a blast from the past for the embittered grognards err... mature and experienced members of the board :

Titan Publishing has announced that a new imprint, Titan Comics, will specialize in creator-owned series by new and veteran talent, as well as new and "classic" graphic novels. Titan Comics launches in July with "never-before-published volumes in a complete library" of The First Kingdom, the post-holocaust fantasy by Inkpot Award winner Jack Katz.
Also in July is new series Thrud The Barbarian, by writer/artist Carl Critchlow (2000AD, Magic: The Gathering). Critchlow created Thrud, a Conan parody character, in 1981. Thrud strips ran in White Dwarf magazine during the 1980s, and in 2002 Chritchlow self-published a series of Thrud strips.
*snip*
Each newly released title will launch alongside digital editions for the iPhone, iPad, Web, Android, and Kindle Fire.
Titan has previously published titles such as Lenore as Titan Comics (see "'Lenore' Resumes"), but is now pulling it out from within Titan Books and positioning the line as creator-owned, perhaps in recognition of the increased profile of creator-owned work last year (see "Top Ten Comics Business Events of 2012").

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
