Taken from the pages of the award winning Warhammer Monthly , Titan book I introduces us to the two main stars of the series - Princeps Cadet Ervin Hekate - a wet behind the implant final year student forced into the Princeps (Captains) Chair during his first observational tour - and Imperious Dictatio - a collosus of metal and malice , with gun barrels you can drive a tank down and its own plasma reactor.

Written by the versatile Dan Abnett (amongst others , he has written for the Punisher and Batman as well as the Mr Men and Rupert the Bear!!) Titan offers an interesting look into these devestating war machines of the Warhammer 40,000 universe ; dealing with neural links , empathic wounding and even the possibility of such complex machines developing souls.

Unfortunetly , as good as the storyline is , the artwork stops me from giving the book 5 stars. The work by former Batman artists Anthony Williams and Andy Lanning falls somewhere between the smoothness of Bloodquest II and the forced angular nature of Inquisitor and is excellent throughout most parts , with each scene chock-a-block with detail and nice touches , but the facial expressions in some parts are just too ridiculous for my taste.

Still, this book is a definite recommendation for fans of WH40k and may also suit many Battletech fans , as well as lovers of walking metal maelstroms in general , but may prove confusing for newbies to the 40k universe.
