At the end of August, Titan Books was busy publishing books in the UK while I was winding down to go on holiday. I'm back now by the way, so expect normal-ish service to resume. Amongst Titan's releases available now are Hellblazer: Highwater by Brian Azzarello, which apparently sees John Constantine battle Nazis and masochists; Crisis on Multiple Earths Volume 3 from DC Comics' Silver Age vaults; Transformers: Second Generation featuring work by Simon Furman from the popular UK weekly comic (also available from Titan in the US); and Catwoman: The Movie and Other Cat Tales, which ingeniously includes a comic adaptation of the recent movie alongside a handful of classic Catwoman stories. Unless otherwise mentioned above, the books are available in the US from DC Comics.
