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

“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.
