It also charts the prequel graphic novels, which are still being released by Titan: Part 2 is due out this August, with Part 3 following sometime next year. The new television series will star the Academy Award winner Jennifer Connelly and Hamilton‘s Daveed Diggs.

When one of the occupants of the tail breaks through into the main train – all hell follows in his wake!
