François Vigneault’s ‘Titan’ Makes US Debut In September
by James Ferguson
Oni Press is bringing François Vigneault’s graphic novel Titan to the United States for the first time later this year. The comic follows MNGR First Class João da Silva ashe arrives on the moon of Titan to take charge of Homestead Station. There he finds the massive mining colony plagued by tensions between the giant, genetically-engineered Titan workers and the Terran management. What began as a routine posting quickly becomes far more dangerous.
Editor Grace Bornhoft says:
Titan grabbed me in the first few pages. I immediately recognized that it had all the elements of a gripping sci-fi thriller, but it was the story of the tension between the exploiter and the exploited that sets this book apart.
As with most sci-fi, Titan may deal with the far reaches of outer space, but it also looks at themes that are very relevant with our modern day world.
Creator François Vigneault added:
I worked on Titan for over five years, most of that while I was still living in the States. I was born and raised in the USA, and spent almost my whole life there, so it’s no surprise that Titan is inspired by historical and social currents of my homeland.
Titan is set for release on September 15th, 2020.
