Titan Comics has announced the next title in the Hard Case Crime impront, Breakneck, an all-new suspense thriller from celebrated crime and comics author Duane Swierczynski (Cable, Deadpool, The Punisher; Severance Package; The Wheelman) and artists Simone Guglielmini (Near Death), Raffaele Semeraro, and Lovern Kindzierski.
In this gritty countdown crime thriller set in modern-day Philadelphia, a white-collar everyman is reluctantly forced into a race against the clock as he attempts to thwart an impending a terrorist plot.
Following an angry confrontation at a seedy no-tell motel, Joe Hayward is thrown headfirst into the middle of a frightening terrorist plot to bring Philadelphia to its knees. With less than two hours to thwart the attack, Joe is going to need all the help he can get…including that of the government agent his wife may be sleeping with!
“Duane Swierczynski is one of the great talents in the crime genre and I’ve been dying to bring him into Hard Case Crime for more than a decade,” said Hard Case Crime editor Charles Ardai. “I’m thrilled that with Breakneck we’re finally getting to do so.”
“I can’t imagine a better home for Breakneck than Hard Case Crime,” said Swierczynski. “As soon as you see that crown-and-gun logo you know you’re in for a wild ride, and that’s what Breakneck is all about.”
Breakneck will launch this August.
