Titan Magazines is the magazine-publishing division of Nick Landau's Titan Publishing Group. Titan also owns several Forbidden Planet specialist comics and collector stores (it should not be confused with Forbidden Planet International, which largely owns similar stores, mostly in the North of England.).

Titan Magazines' publishing director is Chris Teather.

TPG also owns Titan Books, the biggest UK graphic novel publishing house, which also publishes many film and TV-related titles.

History

Titan Magazines launched in 1995 with Star Trek Magazine with John Freeman as first editor, although it had previously published several one shot film tie-in titles. Since then it has published many film, TV and comics titles, including poster magazines for Tim Burton's Batman.

Some of Titan's magazines are published in the US, although not all, some with an entirely separate magazine.

In April 2016, Bleeding Cool published a blog/vlog entry pertaining to concerns over Titan's UK reprints of DC titles, specifically cancellations and a lack of updates and communication with readers, as well as bringing up in the vlog the frequent inconsistencies regarding the dates at which issues are slated to come out in the backs of the previous issues.[1]

Despite numerous complaints, some of Titan's DC titles continue to be plagued with errors. DC Universe #3.9 (featuring Justice League) appeared on shelves on the 9th May 2018, but the next issue is being advertised as coming out on May 10th 2018. The next issue will most likely be out at some point in June.
