Already, having written Titan 2, I can feel Titan's world expanding and growing immensely. We are delving deeper into established characters and adding new ones to this universe. The characters will go immeasurably deep in vol 3, and with vol 4 we will have, what I like to think of, as the first official Titan crossover. You will have Titan faced off against an extremely powerful villain (as depicted in previous post, 'The New Costume') . It will not be something that he will be able to do on his own, so we will see many allies return to his side as well as new. The crossover will essentially mark the halfway point of the series, and doing it this way not only tackles the comic book superhero crossover, but also showcases the world built around Titan.
It was so much fun to write Titan 2 and explore all of the characters that are introduced there. I also felt there to be something of a seismic shift with the regular cast of characters as well, which was fun to do. I had created them all years ago and am glad to finally see them come to life. I know that it will only get better with book 3 as many more characters finally come into play and some big developments happen as well. I See the Titan universe as almost a living organism that just continues to grow and evolve as the series progresses. There will definitely be an end for Michael/Titan as well. I will not give it away, but I've the end of the series for some time. I always felt the one difference between Titan and the more typical superheroes would be that Michael/Titan would not go on indefinitely like some. There is an end point here. There will come a time when Michael is no longer Titan.
Will he die? Will he be badly hurt? Will he just quit? These are questions I wouldn't answer now. But, there is a plan for him here. All I can say is that if Titan goes on beyond Michael it will be with someone else wielding the power ring and staff. That, I feel, is the great part of this character and its future is that to keep it fresh a new body can slip into that costume or its new variation. Stay tuned...
