Hot off the success of the "Warhammer 40,000: Will of Iron" ongoing comic series, Titan Comics and Games Workshop have exclusively revealed to CBR the announcement of a follow-up series titled "Dawn of War III," which will tie-in to the upcoming real-time strategy game of the same name.

"I've been a fan of Warhammer 40,000 and all of its games for as long as I can remember,” O'Sullivan said in an official statement. "What I enjoy about the Dawn of War series in particular, other than the ability to purge heretics, is that the games have a decade-long narrative filled with ongoing characters and conflicts. I feel very fortunate to be able to contribute towards such a story, and I hope fans of the previous games will enjoy seeing familiar faces back in action on the pages of the comic."

Titan's new "Warhammer" series follows, "...an all-new tale in parallel to that of the video game story, which sees three factions – the Blood Ravens Space Marines, the Eldar, and a fearsome Ork horde – converging on a planet where a weapon of devastating power has been unearthed..."
