Ignition Press revealed the news at ComicsPRO’s Annual Meeting in February of this year that three superstar creators would be working with the publisher: New York Times bestselling author, screenwriter, and pro wrestling legend AJ Mendez; actress, director, screenwriter, and producer Aimee Garcia; and showrunner, screenwriter, and producer Ildy Modrovich.
As part of the Ignition Sequence leading up to Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC), Ignition Press has revealed that this trio has co-created a brand-new comic series, East Side Saints. It will debut in mid-2027.
Fifteen-year-old Alex Gomez isn’t legally allowed to see R-rated movies without an adult, but she’s just inherited the family’s demon-hunting business. Armed with a bruja (witch) Abuelita and zero training, this irresponsible Latina teen must battle monsters on the streets of East LA… but a family secret will make things even more difficult for her. This is East Side Saints: a coming-of rage story.
The three co-creators’ vision is being brought to life by artist Amilcar Pinna and colorist Amanda Grazini, the pair currently working on Sicko with writer Tini Howard.
Mendez and Garcia co-founded Scrappy Heart Productions, which is dedicated to elevating diverse perspectives with universal themes and making underdogs the heroes of their own stories across all media. The pair have previously co-written the comic series Day of the Dead Girl from Magma Comics and IDW Comic’s GLOW and Dungeons & Dragons. After making Lucifer one of Netflix’s highest streamed series of all time and a beloved fan-favorite franchise, this will be Modrovich’s first comic book series.
The three co-creators will appear at Comic-Con International for an exclusive signing on Saturday, July 25th at from 3:30pm – 4:30pm in room 33C. This free, ticketed event will have 120 tickets available through the SDCC mobile portal in accordance with their signing lottery policy. Interested fans need simply need to login into their SDCC Member ID and allocate credits toward the signing lottery. A FAQ can be found HERE. Tickets include an exclusive print by Amilcar Pinna, which the creators of East Side Saints will sign in addition to one extra item. Selfies are allowed.
Owl-eyed fans who keep their eyes peeled at the show may spot additional East Side Saints related sightings…

Five years ago, a government supercomputer triggered the Singularity: an explosion of technological superintelligence heralding an unimaginable tomorrow. At least, it almost did. Within moments, a failsafe activated. The plug was pulled. The future was aborted. But something leaked in those first picoseconds, through wire and wave. And now? The future fights back. Inexplicable events. Miracles and monsters. Harbingers of revolution…or apocalypse?
Minotaur is the tale of Gloria Monday, a photojournalist documenting the lives of those, like her, who are haunted, tortured, and transformed by outbreaks of the future; along with the no-nonsense ex-military muscle who watches her six, and the reformed tech bro secretly bankrolling their global mission to expose it all.

Estranged from his family and living under a government-issued alias, ex-black ops agent Morgan Power endures a life in suburban exile as a delivery driver for a major global courier company. It’s a 180 from his action-packed classified work abroad, until a routine shift puts him in the crosshairs of a domestic terrorist takedown. Trapped in the parking garage of a besieged corporate office park, Power goes back to basics with nothing but his survival skills and a delivery van full of unopened packages—and endless possibilities—to fight his way from floor to floor and free the hostages. But some boxes hold more trash than treasure, and Powers will also have to contend with his intensifying PTSD as the situation escalates and time runs out.

Heel…sit…stay—for a summer rom-com with bark and bite!
Gemma Monroe should be reveling in her ’20s. Instead, she’s on a leave of absence from veterinarian school to save for rising tuition, stacking shifts at a flower shop and juggling her side gig as a dogsitter. Gemma’s favorite canine client—an Akita with an identity crisis—comes with the most demanding dog-mom: Portia Ross, a high-powered executive with deep pockets who sees Gemma as a pet project of her own. It’s delicate, but Gemma knows that getting her life back on track means this customer is always right. And the policy works…until Gemma locks eyes with the charming Neal Mandell, and what starts as a welcome casual fling unleashes a transactional love triangle that could throw her future to the dogs.
