Legendary Pictures - best known for its production work on movies including The Dark Knight and Watchmen - has announced its new comics publishing wing, which the former IDW senior editor will oversee.
"[Chairman and CEO Thomas Tull] and the Legendary team have a proven track record of cultivating talent and delivering unparalleled entertainment experiences, and I am looking forward to building Legendary Comics into a world-class label for the best writers and artists we know," said Schreck.
IDW CEO Ted Adams released a statement saying that the publisher was sad to see Schreck go and wishing him luck in his new role.
Schreck was also one of the co-founders of Oni Press and editor of titles including Sin City and The Rocketeer during his time at Dark Horse Comics.
Legendary Comics plans to release six graphic novels a year, beginning in mid-2011.
