Murder Podcast #1 Gets a Second Printing

Posted on by

Ignition Press has announced that their debut comic Murder Podcast #1 from Jeremy Haun and Mike Tisserand has sold out at the distributor level within 24 hours of release despite a healthy overprint, and will get a second printing with a new cover to meet customer demand. Check out our review of the debut issue.

Interested fans can guarantee their copy by preordering at their local comic shop by Monday, September 22nd.

Fans of true crime podcasts are noticing brand-new episodes of a show they thought was over appearing in their feed, but when they cue up the first episode, they find themselves overtaken by a murderous urge. One that only stops when the killer is stopped, leaving a gruesome death toll in its wake. For Mina and her friends, these killings are just another topic of their daily gossip, a potential new case for the next true crime show they can’t get enough of. Yet, as the killings get closer and closer to their own lives, it’s becoming clear that there is more going on below the surface than any of them realizes.

Written by Jeremy Haun with art by animation veteran and comics’ next superstar Mike Tisserand, colors by Nick Filardi, and letters by AndWorld Design, this debut Ignition Press title will make you think twice the next time you fire up those ear buds and press play on your phone.

Copies of Murder Podcast #1 first printings featuring two open-to-order covers by Haun and Tisserand respectively, with the latter forming a connecting image across multiple covers, and the limited-edition variant by illustrator and sculptor Ebrahel Lurci may still be available at individual stores. The second printing of the debut issue of the true crime horror series will arrive in stores October 29, 2025 alongside the return of The Beauty, also by Jeremy Haun.

About Milk and Cheese:

A carton of hate. A wedge of spite. A comic book of idiotic genius. A comic book of idiotic genius. Dating all the way back to an appearance in Greed magazine in 1988, these gin-fueled lactic loose cannons have delighted and horrified comics fans the world over!

About The Eltingville Club:

Take-no-prisoners trivia-offs. Pill-fueled Twilight Zone marathons. Fan interventions. Here is the ultimate word on the fugly side of fandom, collecting every Eltingville story from Dork, House of Fun, and The Eltingville Club #1–#2.

About Dork:

Comprising years of black humor stories about a living voodoo doll, a serial killer sitcom, truly real live sex, a disco skinhead, an urbane devil puppet, classic works of literature acted out by Fisher-Price toys, and more absurdity.
