Titan Comics has announced yet another licensee to add to their library of interpretations of current TV, film, and video game properties.  With Independence Day: Resurgence coming to theaters in just nine months, Titan will be bringing Independence Day comics to comic shops sometime in the near future as well.  The creative team has yet to be announced, but expect to be impressed, as Titan has reminded us in this press release that Independence Day is already a Oscar and Grammy winning property, and they would no doubt like to add an Eisner or a Harvey to that pedigree.

Official press release:
