===Trial by Fire===
<tabber>
|-|Issue 1=
14/10/2015 - Solicit: ''Charlotte de la Cruz is over-educated and underemployed, wasting her time in a dead-end job in San Diego, and spending her free time chasing down conspiracy theories on the dark side of the internet.''
 
''When a real-life conspiracy crashes into her life, she's pulled into the orbit of the Assassins, a mysterious organisation of principled killers with roots stretching back thousands of years - and users of the stolen Animus technology, which allows them to experience the memories of their ancestors as if they were there!''
 
''Charlotte has a secret in her blood... the genetic memory of an ancestor who was in Salem at the time of the infamous witch trials: Tom Stoddard, an Assassin who witnessed a dark act with repercussions for the present day!''
 
''As Charlotte is trained in the Assassins' art, and as she begins to investigate the life of her ancestor... the forces of the Templar Order move against her. Will Charlotte learn the skills she needs to survive, and the truth she needs to prove her worth - before the Templars silence her forever?!''
 
[[File:ACComic American Assassin Attacks.png|thumb|left|150px|The American Assassin launching herself towards her targets]]
1852: The [[California Gold Rush]]. A female [[American Assassin (1852)|Assassin]] is pursuing [[John Sutter]] on [[Horses|horseback]] in the [[Great Basin Desert]]. Using her rope launcher, she mounts his [[Wagon|carriage]] and dispatches the drivers. She informs him the [[Maidu]] want the gold he stole returned, before firing her [[Firearms|rifle]] at an incoming rider.
 
2015: [[San Diego]]. [[Charlotte de la Cruz]] is playing this [[Genetic memory|memory]] on her [[Helix]], while chatting to another player. He invites her to meet, but she is creeped out that he knows that she lives in San Diego. She heads to a job application for the charity [[World Share]], which ends with her storming off when she realizes her interviewer will probably give the position to her own daughter.
 
Back behind her desk at [[Malta Banking Corporation]], Charlotte transfers ten thousand dollars to [[Morehead|Ms. Morehead]] so she can pay for her daughter's healthcare. Charlotte instantly regrets her decision, realizing she will be fired. Returning home dejected, she is shocked to see [[Xavier Chen]] and [[Galina Voronina]] standing in her apartment. However, when they introduce themselves as being from the "[[Assassins|Brotherhood]]", she rejoices, explaining she knows about them after trawling conspiracy websites.
 
[[File:AC2015 knifethrow.png|thumb|200px|Charlotte's attacker killed by a throwing knife]]
Just as she declares she will join them, a group of [[Templars]] knock at her door. Assuming they have come about the money transfer, she opens her door, enabling them to barge through. A thug grabs Charlotte, but Galina rescues her by [[Throwing knives|throwing]] a knife through his head. She then jumps off the apartment balcony onto the next building, urging Charlotte to follow. After hesitating, Charlotte jumps...
 
...and wakes up greeted by a seagull. Xavier and Galina greet her, having taken her to their cell's hideout in the [[Salton Sea]]. They introduce her to their technician [[Kody]], who was the one who found her online, and the [[Animus]]. [[File:AC2015 Bridgetbishopdeath.png|thumb|left|upright|The death of Bridget Bishop]] They explain an Assassin named [[Joseph (Assassin)|Joseph]], whom they believed dead, reemerged at the Templars' headquarters, promising to reveal the location of an [[Pieces of Eden|object]] they want. Joseph messaged them, explaining that it was a ruse to draw out a top Templar in San Diego. They need Charlotte to relive her ancestor's memories to verify what Joseph told the Templars: that the object was hidden in [[Salem]] during the [[Salem witch trials|witch trials]].
 
1692: Salem Village. Charlotte is reliving the memories of [[Tom Stoddard]], who arrives to witness the hanging of [[Bridget Bishop]]. Stoddard walks away, and Charlotte's attempt to intervene causes her to [[Synchronization|desynchronize]]. As she pukes onto the floor, Xavier and Galina argue, as the latter has decided Joseph is a traitor. Charlotte declares she is going back in.
 
|-|Issue 2=
11/11/2015 - Solicit: ''Events in Salem turn terrifying as Assassin Tom Stoddard faces the townspeople’s rising hysteria while they bay for the blood of supposed witches. Viewing his memories, Charlotte witnesses how deep the feud with the Templars goes — and how brutal the choices to be made in her new life will be!''<br />
 
[[File:Jennifer Querry.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Jennifer Querry]]
1692: Salem Village. [[Charlotte de la Cruz]] relieves the [[genetic memory|genetic memories]] of her ancestor, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Tom Stoddard]], as he prepares for a meeting, having recently arrived at [[Salem]] from [[London]]. When two men walk in Stoddard greets them and explains that he brought goods from [[China]] for sale, to which one of the men asked if he had spices, specifically cassia. Stoddard suspects something is wrong and asks them for a way to travel to Andover, to which the men answered horseback, revealing that they did not know the counterphrase. At this moment Stoddard attacks the men and quickly dispatches them, however a third man approached from behind with a knife. Before he manages to attack Stoddard, he is strangled by another Assassin. The Assassin recites the counterphrase, "Forest Dark", and introduces herself as [[Jennifer Querry]]. However before she can finish her introduction, Stoddard interrupts her and berates her as they could have only learned the first part of the counterphrase from her.
 
Querry claims that she has a lead on the [[Pieces of Eden|artifact]] that Stoddard is pursuing, and she and Stoddard climb to the top of a building, when Charlotte realized that Querry must be [[Joseph (Assassin)|Joseph]]'s ancestor. Querry introduces the town to Stoddard and explains the local situation: starting in January, a girl came down with an illness unexplained by the [[Doctors|doctor]], then other girls started having seizures, which she claims were faked, leading to the church claiming the illnesses resulted from the devil, after which hysteria took the city and people started [[Salem witch trials|accusing each other of witchcraft]] to settle grudges. She then explains that the [[Templars]] later arrived to see if there was something more to the incident.
 
Querry claims the Templars believe some of the girls' behaviors to be genuine. She asks Stoddard if he is truly an expert at finding Pieces of Eden, which he confirms. She then explains that she's allowed near the girls due to her being a nurse and that this is the first assignment for the Brotherhood. Stoddard suddenly stops and hides, asking Querry about a couple of men walking near them: Reverend [[Samuel Parris]], a Templar under whom the accusations of witchcraft incremented tremendously and Justice [[William Stoughton]], who orders the hangings of those Parris accuses. Here, Querry and Stoddard [[Eavesdropping|overhear]] a conversation between the two: due to bodies found at the docks, more [[Guards]] will be posted. Stoddard once again berates Querry for allowing this to happen and demands the location of the girls.
 
Later, at night, Querry shows Stoddard the location, explaining that even though she's been inside the building as a nurse, she cannot account for the amount of women that go in but don't come out alive or dead. Skeptical, Stoddard still enters the building to find them using a rope to enter the building through a window, killing a guard inside. Shortly, Querry enters the building as well to find it mostly empty. Here she discovers a secret entrance behind a lit fireplace, leading deep underground. In the basement, Stoddard and Querry find women in cages, which Querry wants to free but Stoddard refuses, telling her to focus on the mission. Stoddard asks a boy called [[David (Salem)|David]], though the girl next to him, [[Dorothy Osborne]], explained that he was mute and that she could show Stoddard the Piece of Eden. This prompts him to free both, as she leads them further down the basement.
 
[[File:ACC Stoddard vs Dorothy.jpg|thumb|200px|Stoddard threatening Dorothy]]
Meanwhile, upstairs, Parris and Stoughton discus the happenings, having allowed Stoddard to track the Piece of Eden as they believe that he would lead them to it. Following this, the men head outside to a growing crowd and incite them, claiming that the Devil was inside the building. Back inside, Stoddard and Querry follow Dorothy to a dead end as the villagers begin storm the building. At the dead end, Stoddard threatened Dorothy for leading him there, promising to let the villagers kill her first.
 
2015: [[San Diego]]. Charlotte struggles to stay inside the [[Animus]] as she fails to synchronize with Stoddard's methods, although [[Kody]] attributes her struggle to her being inexperienced with the process. [[Galina Voronina]] and [[Xavier Chen]] meanwhile, discuss her progress, with Galina implying that Charlotte would not be able to synchronize with Stoddard and Xavier disagreeing with her. Galina in turn compares her to Joseph, saying that people can't change who they are, and that Joseph was finally showing his true colors by allying with the Templars. Kody reports that Charlotte has stabilized but if she continues to struggle she could damage herself.
 
[[File:ACC Dorothy's powers.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A possessed Dorothy]]
1692: Salem Village. Tom Stoddard struggles with David as he attempts to help Dorothy, but Stoddard pushes him away, striking him against a wall. Dorothy tells Stoddard to leave him alone and she would show him what he was looking for. Dorothy then says that there is no Piece of Eden, before she falls back, her eyes turn white as she speaks to Thomas, reciting the last words his father said, a passage from [[Dante Alighieri]]'s work. Realizing that Dorothy herself is the "artifact" they were looking for, Stoddard informs Querry and tasks her with finding them a way out as the villagers attack and he fights them off.

Latest revision as of 01:39, 25 May 2026

Assassin's Creed, also known as Assassin's Creed: Assassins, is a comic series published by Titan Comics.[1] While it was an ongoing series it had a planned duration of at least three years, [citation needed] the first issue was released in October 2015.[2]

However, in 2016, Titan announced that after its fourteenth issue, Assassins along with its companion series, Templars, would be relaunched with a different creative team as a new title: Assassin's Creed: Uprising.

Assassins' first story arc takes place in the late 17th century, during the Salem witch trials, with the parallel modern-day part featuring an espionage tale.[3]

The second story arc takes place during the Inca Empire in the past, running parallel with the modern day story featuring Erudito.[4]

The third story arc takes place in Florence during the early 16th century, running parallel with a modern day story again featuring Erudito.

Press release[edit | edit source]

Titan Comics is thrilled to announce it has secured the license to publish Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed comics!

Assassin's Creed is one of the most popular franchises in the video game industry, with more than 93 million units sold since its inception in 2007. Over time, Assassin's Creed has broadened its reach into numerous media beyond games, enriching the Assassin's Creed lore for the joy of many fans.

Titan comics will soon expand the realm of Assassin’s Creed visual storytelling with the creation of a brand new comic series.

"We're so excited to be working with Ubisoft on this fantastic new adventure, said Lizzie Kaye, editor, Titan Comics. "Assassin's Creed is one of the most notoriously beautiful games on the market, and the team at Ubisoft have created a world that is perfect for us to explore, expand and inhabit with a raft of new characters in new settings. We're really hoping to surprise readers with the direction for this new series."

The first 5-part arc will be illustrated by the artist of Doctor Who: Four Doctors – Neil Edwards![5]
