Titan Comics is excited to announce that they will be working closely with director Gareth Evans (
The Raid, The Raid 2) and XYZ Films to develop all new stories featuring characters from the films for a comic series of
The Raid in late 2016.
The Raid, an Indonesian martial-arts film, premiered in 2011 to praise from the Toronto International Film Fest. It earned 10 nominations for the 2012 Maya Awards. It featured the story of a lone SWAT team who had to fight out of being trapped inside a tenement block by a mobster and his group of killers.
Editor Martin Eden says, "
At Titan we’re thrilled to be publishing The Raid comic books. Gareth is a visionary and a huge talent. It’s a pleasure to work with him on developing his characters for the comic book page. We promise to deliver the same thrilling, fifth-gear adrenaline that fans have come to expect from the franchise."
