Titan Comics is revisiting one of H.G. Wells’ most iconic works in the War of the Worlds: Thunder Child graphic novel. The book tells a story that takes place during the events of Wells’ classic novel, War of the Worlds. It is written by Matt Hardy (Cadavers) with art by Rob Jones (Hell in Stalingrad) and Kevin Castaniero (The Reason for Dragons). The book will be available in June 2026.

“The War of the Worlds: Thunder Child follows the exploits of the crew of the eponymous ironclad torpedo ram, the HMS Thunder Child. Sitting alongside the events of Wells’ novel, the story takes place against a backdrop of strange occurrences and creeping terror, all leading up to the Thunder Child’s final heroic showdown with the invaders from Mars,” per the synopsis.

“This is a terrifying and thrilling tale soaked in blood, recriminations, sacrifice and loss, the first act in a new take on the well-known science fiction classic with a unique cast and its own story to tell,” the synopsis continues.

Titan is giving a first look at the graphic novel (see below). War of the Worlds: Thunder Child will be in comic book stores on June 2.
