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.
