Ignition Press concludes the Ignition Sequence series of announcements leading up to Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC) with a new series announcement. From the twisted minds of Dan Watters and Brian Level comes Mad Science Division—a madcap, sci-fi horror series that asks, “What if DOGE dismantled the SCP Foundation?”

It’s no secret Archimedes Anderson is a nepo hire. Assigned chief-coordinator of R&D at the American arm of genetic engineering and bioweapons development company Miyashi-Smith, everyone knows he’s here for one purpose: to slash the budget and trim the fat. If he can cut 30% from the unaffectionately nicknamed “Mad Science Division” budget, he’ll earn a cushy, high level job at HQ.

He goes in with a move-fast-and-break-stuff attitude, knowing absolutely nothing about the dangerous genetic experiments taking place in the division. When he upsets the delicate equilibrium of the department factions and removes guard rails which protect the workers and the public, he winds up exposing them to terrible, evil experiments.

Mad Science Division #1 will be available in comic shops November 4th, 2026 from writer Dan Watters and artist Brian Level, with colors by Lee Loughridge and letters by Frank Cvetkovic. This issue features two open-to-order covers from series artist Brian Level and Riley Rossmo, along with a 1-in-10 retailer incentive by Raúl Allén.

To guarantee a copy, make sure to contact and reserve your copy with your local comic shop by no later than Monday, September 28th. 2026.
