Titan Comics Channels ’90s Crime Dramas for New Series The Loose End (Exclusive)

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for crime dramas from the ’90s, the upcoming series “The Loose End” by Titan Comics and Hard Case Crime has caught my attention like a moth to a flame. The gritty realism, the moral ambiguity, and the promise of a thrilling ride are all reminiscent of classics I’ve grown up with – Desperado, Swingers, Heat, Reservoir Dogs, and more.

90s crime drama enthusiasts, who enjoy titles like “Desperado,” “Swingers,” “Heat,” and “Reservoir Dogs,” are in for a delight with an upcoming series from Titan Comics. Hard Case Crime is an imprint of Titan, co-founded by esteemed authors Charles Ardai and Max Phillips, dedicated to crime fiction, noir, and pulpy content such as the successful franchise “Gun Honey.” Exclusively revealed by ComicBook, the next release from Titan and Hard Case Crime is: “The Loose End“, a four-issue limited series penned by Dave Dwonch and illustrated by Travis Hymel.

In my gaming world, I’m all about “The Loose End” #1, where the covers are a joint effort by Andy Belanger, Robert Hack, Travis Hymel, and Kit Wallis. Now, you might notice that Robert Hack’s cover is a nod to the iconic style of “Reservoir Dogs.” This homage spans across all four issues in this thrilling series. It’s a clever reference back to the poster and key art from the 1992 movie, which marked Quentin Tarantino’s debut as director, co-writer, and actor. In the film, you’ll find heavyweights like Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Chris Penn, Steve Buscemi, Lawrence Tierney, Michael Madsen, and Edward Bunker bringing their A-game.

The solicitation and covers for The Loose End #1 are below. The issue goes on sale February 19, 2025.
