Titan Comics are thrilled to announce the phenomenal creative team of writer Cavan Scott (Doctor Who, Vikings: Uprising) and artist Andie Tong (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) who kick-off the exciting new Tekken comic series in May, 2017!
Based on the smash hit video game series, Titan is working closely with Bandai Namco Entertainment to deliver exciting in-universe tales. Hitting stores in May 2017, sensational new comic series will tap into Tekkens rich history, and will feature memorable characters from the celebrated video game canon including Jin Kazama, Heihachi Mishima, Yoshimitsu, Nina Williams and Paul Phoenix.
Im so excited to be bringing the explosive world of Tekken back to comics. said writer Cavan Scott, Ive been a fan of the series ever since I slipped the first game into my PlayStation back in 1995. Were having great fun delving into the series history to bring back some familiar faces, along with all the fan-favorite fighters youd expect. Theres going to be intrigue, danger and, of course, knock-out battles galore!
This hotly anticipated debut issue comes with five art covers to collect by artists Alex Ronald (Mycroft Holmes), Andie Tong, Anton Kokarev (Evil Dead 2: Beyond Dead By Dawn), Jimbo Salgado (Assassins Creed® Uprising), and Nick Percival (Dark Souls).
Titan Comics Tekken #1 hits stores and digital platforms in May, 2017 and is available for order from the March edition of Previews.

Now I hope this isn't just a direct Tekken 7 tie in as I'd like to see Tekken's overall history explored in an engaging way. Especially from Tekken 2 onwards
