Warhammer 40,000 is a franchise that has a die-hard fanbase with a lot of crossover with comics, and Titan Comics is a publisher with its finger on the pulse of what licenses comics fans want, plus a strong track record of pairing them up with top-tier creators able to do those franchises justice. This April, Titan launches its second Warhammer 40,000 title, a miniseries by Ryan O’Sullivan and Daniel Indro that ties into the upcoming Dawn of War III video game.

It's been eight years since the last Dawn of War game, so Warhammer 40,000 fans are no doubt champing at the bit to get their hands on what looks to be one of the best RTS games of the year. The new comic is said to be a parallel story to the narrative of the game, as the Blood Raven Space Marines, Farseer Macha's Eldar and Ork horde arrive on Acheron all after the same catastrophic weapon.
