SDCC 2025: The Miranda Brothers bring Arcadia to Ignition Press

The acclaimed duo of Roy and Inaki Miranda are making the move to Ignition Press with their new genre-bending series Arcadia. The longform series is set to launch in November, preceded by merchandise and previews during
Comic-Con International in San Diego (SDCC) later this month and a Kickstarter campaign for a Cold Open issue in August.

In a future where humanity has vanished, a new form of life rises from the ruins: the Serants, artificial beings born from mysterious technological chrysalises known as Superdragons. Each one carries a Pearl, a biotechnological core that holds their consciousness, their memories… their soul.

Halu is a Serant born late, emerging from a forgotten silo. He is rescued from destruction by Weedy, an eccentric scavenger obsessed with the remnants of the past and the search for meaning in their own existence. Soon after, Halu meets Fix, a practical, strong, and luminous young mechanic who awakens something deep within him. Together, in a world of ruins and dangers, they search for meaning, connection, and a reason to endure.

Arcadia is a work of existential science fiction. It’s profoundly human, creating a world where memory and love endure as a precious mystery that refuses to fade. It’s story that explores what makes us human…when humanity is no longer there to deliver the answer.

Written by Roy and Inaki, collectively billed as the Miranda Bros., and drawn by Inaki, Arcadia reunites them with colorist Eva de la Cruz and letterer Dave Sharpe. This team has been responsible for the breakout hit series We Live and more recently Blade Forger. Inaki and Eva also worked on the Eisner-nominated Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons with their Ignition Press editor, Jamie S. Rich.

Fans attending Comic Con International in San Diego can get a special sneak peek at Arcadia by visiting the Ignition Press Room in the Gaslamp District (643 G Street). Additionally, Ignition Press will debut exclusive Arcadia merchandise on sale for the first time including T-shirts, enamel pins, stickers, and an art print featuring Arcadia-centric designs and art by Inaki Miranda. Both of the Miranda Bros. will be in attendance for scheduled signings.

In August, Ignition Press will launch a campaign for Arcadia: The Cold Open on Kickstarter. The publisher’s Cold Open issues are standalone entry points for longtime comic fans and new readers alike, featuring an original, self-contained vignette that introduces the reader to the world, the stakes, and characters of the larger story. Each Cold Open issue also includes behind the-scenes material, special sneak peeks, and information on how to get the entire series through
more traditional retail channels.

Arcadia: The Cold Open will feature covers by Inaki Miranda and superstar art team Jae Lee and June Chung.
This will be Ignition Press’ second crowdfunding campaign following the successful Murder Podcast: The Cold Open Kickstarter this past May. Interested fans can sign up to be notified at launch.

The Galaxy’s Greatest Heroes Assemble Against New Intergalactic Threats in Imperial War: Imperial Guardians!

Imperial, a four-issue event series by visionary writer Jonathan Hickman and superstar artists Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini, is reshaping the Marvel cosmos and ushering in a new era of galactic storytelling, starting with five Imperial War one-shots! Today, fans can learn about the last of these one-shots, Imperial War: Imperial Guardians, hitting stands in October.

Imperial War: Imperial Guardians #1 will be written by Dan Abnett, the influential storyteller behind Marvel space epics like Annihilation and War of the Kings, and drawn by Cory Smith, the acclaimed artist known for his work on Nova and more recently, Fantastic Four. Co-written by Hickman, all five Imperial War one-shots represent key chapters of the overall Imperial narrative and lay the foundation for upcoming series launching in this burgeoning cosmic landscape. In Imperial Guardians, CAPTAIN MARVEL, GAMORA, and DARKHAWK and more assemble as a new space-faring super team to take on the many threats emerging from the conflict raging across the stars—beginning with a dark conspiracy at the heart of the SKRULL Empire!

As the events of Imperial explode in fatal fashion, the Super-Skrull finds himself at the center of a seditious scheme with consequences that will be felt by the entire cosmos! But he’s not the only superpower looking for answers – an unlikely team is on the hunt to avert disaster before galactic order is lost for good!

Check out the Imperial War: Imperial Guardians #1 cover by Francesco Mortarino and stay tuned for more Imperial announcements later this month at San Diego Comic-Con!

Exclusive: PANICK Entertainment announces a T.A.M.A. #1 Second Printing Before Release, Featuring Two Brand-New Covers

We have the exclusive initial reveal that PANICK Entertainment‘s T.A.M.A. #1, the debut issue of its flagship title, is nearly sold out at the distributor level. Due to overwhelming demand from retailers and customers, a second printing is now underway featuring two brand-new variant covers by legendary designer and illustrator Jim Fletcher, paying homage to the iconic style of classic Pokémon trading cards. In addition, the enormously popular Tony Fleecs Cover B videogame homage variant from the first printing will be re-issued in a gorgeous rainbow foil format, also as a 1:10 incentive cover across both second printing variants. This second printing will be exclusively distributed by the Massive Indies section of the Lunar catalog.

Due to continued demand, PANICK is introducing a special 1:10 rainbow foil reprint of the original Cover B. This limited incentive will be available to retailers who order ten combined copies of the second printing’s Cover A and Cover B, with an MSRP of $20.00. The foil edition celebrates the momentum behind T.A.M.A. and gives fans another chance to own a standout version of the launch that’s generating serious buzz.

Written by Adam Schlagman and Doug Pasko, with interior art by Daniel HDRT.A.M.A. tells the chilling story of Kit, a lonely teen who finds companionship in a mysterious virtual pet device — only to discover it’s connected to a string of gruesome deaths. It’s Pokémon meets Child’s Play, and readers have taken notice.

T.A.M.A. is the kind of series that catches fire because of word of mouth, and clearly, word is spreading fast. We’re beyond grateful to retailers and customers for making our first book such a success, and we assure you that we are just getting started.

-PANICK Publisher and Co-Founder Kris Longo

PANICK’s success with T.A.M.A. is exactly why we created the Massive Indies program — to give independent publishers the tools, infrastructure, and support to break through with bold original series. The impending sell-out and second printing aren’t just a win for PANICK, they’re proof of concept that this partnership works.

-Michael Calero, CEO/Founder of Massive Indies

The second printing will hit shops August 27, 2025, just in time for late-summer conventions and back-to-school buzz. Final order cutoff is July 28, 2025 via Lunar/Massive Indies. Retailers are encouraged to place their reorders quickly, as print runs will be limited.
