New publisher Ignition Press has been revving its engines out there for a while, looking both ways for traffic, and slowly rolling onto the highway. First announced as a blockbuster new publisher teaming Filip Sablik and Jamie S. Rich, details have been spun out at a deliberate pace. After teasing the name of the company, and their overall goals, while throwing some top-notch launch parties, they revealed their creator line-up at ComicsPRO, and hit the show floor at just-completed C2E2. They have also announced their first title: Murder Podcast written by co-founder Jeremy Haun (The Beauty) with art by Mike Tisserand (The Dragon Prince). The title is being Kickstarted, and the campaign offers more details
MURDER PODCAST is the new original comic book series from writer Jeremy Haun, co-creator of The Beauty, which is currently in production as an FX series by Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, Pose). Best known for his terrifying horror comic series including The Red Mother and The Approach, and more recently as the host of the video podcast series, Curious Haunts, MURDER PODCAST promises to be Haun’s most disturbing dive into the world of horror to date. Joining Haun on this horrifying journey is series artist and animation veteran Mike Tisserand (The Dragon Prince, Diary of a Wimpy Kid) along with colorist Nick Filardi and lettering and design collective, AndWorld Design.
And:
“Dead Sounds,” has just returned for a surprising second season. Surprising, because a new episode has mysteriously appeared in its listeners’ feeds… despite the unexplained disappearance of the show’s hosts after the end of its first season. Something is wrong with this podcast. Something horribly, murderously wrong.
Sometimes you just need to get away. Away from the things in life pulling you down… the tough decisions, ceaseless texts, and your own… disappointment. Dexy needs a distraction. Maybe in the form of a podcast. Unfortunately for her, the one that just showed upon her phone will prove to be a deadly one…
And no one is safe.
Brace yourself for MURDER PODCAST.

Murder Podcast #3
Bodies are piling up, and the police are no closer to finding out what is causing seemingly normal people to turn into homicidal maniacs. Unfortunately for Detective Nika, she may no longer need to go looking for answers, as the killers may be coming to her!
Also looking for clues are Mina and her friends, enthusiasts of true crime shows. They’ve been noticing the darkness creeping into their city, and they are starting to ask their own questions — especially since Mina survived a random attack herself. It’s only a matter of time before someone else hears the mysterious podcast and more people wind up dead.
A tale of terror and violence from acclaimed writer Jeremy Haun (The Beauty; Red Mother) and hot new artist Mike Tisserand! Cover A is by Haun and colorist Nick Filardi (Powers 25), while cover B is a connecting cover by Tisserand and Filardi that will form one giant image when all eight issues of Murder Podcast are released!

Murder Podcast #4
Mina and her crew are looking to get to the bottom of the Dead Sounds phenomenon by going to the source: the radio station that originally produced the mysterious podcast. The folks there aren’t forthcoming with answers, however, and the women don’t realize that their public enquiry has now exposed them. The mysterious cult connected to Dead Sounds know who they are and what they are up to!
Elsewhere, the investigation into the murders has caused a rift in Nika and Josie’s marriage, so much so that Nika has moved into a hotel. But will she be safe there with the cult looking for her, as well?
The hit phenomenon reaches its halfway point. Find out what everyone is talking about in this new issue from writer Jeremy Haun (The Beauty) and buzz artist Mike Tisserand! Cover B is also the latest piece of the giant connecting cover that will span all issues, drawn by Tisserand and colored by Nick Filardi (Powers 25).
