Ignition Press

Ignition Press is kicking off its first anniversary of publishing creator-driven comics this week leading up to and culminating at the biggest industry event of the year, Comic-Con International 2026 in San Diego (SDCC).

Ignition Press began publishing original series in July 2025 with its public debut at SDCC. At the Ignition Press Room—a standalone, open to the public, and free pop-up—the publisher introduced fans to seven debut series: Murder Podcast, Voyeur, Deluge, Roots of Madness, The Beauty, NO Place, and Arcadia.

On the eve of its one-year anniversary, Ignition Press has revealed a revised summer release schedule with seven new series launching over seven weeks beginning July 1st through August 12th. Additionally, Ignition Press will celebrate all its previously released or continuing series with new promotions and activations. The anniversary celebration will crescendo at SDCC 2026, where exclusives for all seven new series will be available for purchase before the celebration continues in comic shops through mid-August. Ignition Press will reveal additional details about its SDCC plans as part of its returning Ignition Sequence: SDCC 2026 marketing initiative.

The seven launching series commemorating Ignition Press’s first anniversary are:

  • The Dogsitter #1—a brand new rom-com treat for dog lovers from the Ares & Aphrodite team of Jamie S. Rich and Megan Levens with Nick Filardi and AndWorld Design;
  • Dispatched #1—an express delivery of an action thriller from B. Clay Moore and Daniel Gete with Lee Loughridge and AndWorld Design;
  • Minotaur #1—a groundbreaking sci-fi ongoing series for the AI Age by Si Spurrier and Mike Dowling with Sofie Dodgson and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou;
  • Sicko #1—a horrifying medical thriller where an autoimmune disorder becomes a weapon from Tini Howard and Amilcar Pinna with Amanda Grazini and Ariana Maher;
  • The Patron #1—a fine art murder mystery that is truly horrifying by Christian Ward and John J. Pearson with Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou;
  • Airwalker—the first original graphic novel for the publisher, a brand new superhero for a modern age directly from the mind of the late, great Stan Lee with Jeremy Haun and Danny Luckert with AndWorld Design;
  • And finally, Cult-de-Sac #1—a homeowner’s nightmare where the HOA is more than just odd from Cullen Bunn and Fico Ossio with Ulises Arreola and AndWorld Design.

Ignition Press’s updated summer release schedule includes the following titles:

Bloodland #3 amps things up with some surprises

Posted on by

A power struggle emerges as Heather’s new companions in the Art League wonder if she can be trusted as she plans to save the infants being held in the hospital. Soon, a shocking act shifts the balance of power within the group.

Meanwhile, it is becoming increasingly clear that not all members of President Andrew Cross’s inner circle support his decision to hand over control of the US government to the vampires of The White Cell. But in this lawless world, even a small act of rebellion can have major consequences.

Just when it seems like things couldn’t get any more dangerous in the nation’s capital, a gang of child-like vampires, The Kinder, begin a reign of terror over Washington DC.

Bloodland #2 gets interesting as a new resistance to the Vampires is revealed

Posted on by

The White Cell vampires pull the strings of power-hungry U.S. President Andrew Cross, and an underground resistance network evolves! Heather is taken in by a collective of individualist freedom fighters known as the Art League. They share revelations about her saga at the hospital, but her patience wears thin as they delay the search for her newborn son. Are these caretakers or just new captors?

Meanwhile, Son’s crew swaps intel with Blood Runners—dissenting vampires who have sworn off human blood but will never shake their menacing reputation—and the iron-fisted Reverend Hawk begins a savage secession campaign.

Bloodland #1 is an interesting concept but packs too much into the first issue

Posted on by

The United States is collapsing. And then there are the vampires.

President Andrew Cross is deep into an unconstitutional extended term, seized and shielded by executive orders, martial law, and a stacked Supreme Court.

With support splintering, Cross forges an alliance with a cabal of ancient European vampires. As the White Cell’s influence expands, the administration’s pursuit of power and blood purity transforms the landscape into a battleground between emboldened loyalists, aspiring demagogues, and colorful factions of dissenters.

Against it all, Army veteran Heather Brooks is a lone wolf on a warpath to find and avenge her newborn son who’s been sacrificed to the state; and retired pro quarterback Son Cassidy rallies an idealistic resistance. As their courses collide, the two leaders will tilt the odds and change the shape of a cross-country war for the soul of a nation.

NYCC 2025: The President Holds Onto an Unconstitutional Extended Term Supported by Vampire Bloodsuckers in Bloodland

Posted on by

Imagine the President of the United States abusing his power well into an unconstitutional extended term, shielded by broken systems and a party of loyalists. Now imagine that government fortified in their power by literal vampires. That’s the concept behind the new political, survivalist horror series from writer B. Clay Moore and Eisner Award-nominated artist Mack Chater, debuting from Ignition Press in Spring 2026. The series was announced during the publisher’s Retailer Day presentation at New York Comic Con. Moore and Chater began work on the series five years ago and it comes to comic shelves in early 2026.

Review: Miles to Go

Posted on by

Miles to Go is a solid action series that feels like it’d be a solid film. There’s some twists and turns that make it feel like there was more planned but it’s entertaining for fans of the genre.

Collects issues #1-5.
