Murder Podcast #8 wraps things up with a letdown of a finale

Mina and the gang have found the broadcast location of THE Murder Podcast, and they’re ready to smash the servers to smithereens! But first, they’ll have to work their way through an army of murderous cult members who want to see the podcast spread around the world. When Mina finds the machine powering the operation, she also discovers that the human cost for this nefarious endeavor is much higher—and more grotesque—than she ever anticipated.

SDCC 2026: Ignition Press Celebrates its First Year with Seven new Series

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:

July 1st: The Dogsitter #1, Showdown #2, The Other/Half #3, and Ripcord #4 ;
July 8th: Dispatched #1, Innards #2, Tyler Rake: An Extraction Story #3, and Just Brutal #4;
July 15th: Minotaur #1, Arcadia #6, and Murder Podcast #8;
July 22nd: Sicko #1, Bad Thoughts #2, Everyone Loves A Jewel Thief #3, Bloodland #5, and The Beauty #7;
July 29th: The Patron #1;
August 5th: Airwalker OGN (available August 4th in bookstores), The Other/Half #4, and Ripcord #5;
August 12th: Cult-de-Sac #1, The Dogsitter #2, Innard #3, Showdown #3, Tyler Rake: An Extraction Story #4, Just Brutal #5, and Murder Podcast Vol. 1 TP (available August 11th in bookstores).

Murder Podcast #7 lays all of the cards on the table & pulls back the curtain as to what’s going on

Flash back as Vivi Su and Gina Kyle head to Bethlem, Missouri, to investigate the murder of Audrey Penn for their podcast “Dead Sounds.” What they find in the small rural town is far more disturbing than they could have ever imagined, and their meddling will set off a deadly chain of events that will reverberate all the way to Seattle and beyond, leaving a trail of bodies as it goes.

Murder Podcast #6 pulls back the curtain a bit more to reveal what is going on

Mina and her friends have captured one of the cultists who worship Dead Sounds, the podcast that causes unsuspecting listeners to fly into a homicidal rage and kill everyone around them, and the ladies want answers! Meanwhile, Nika and the police are closing in on the cult, but they quickly discover that if you go to the source of the podcast, it’s best to plug your ears!

Murder Podcast #4 takes a step back to assess what we know and tease more as the body count rises

Mina and her crew are looking to get to the bottom of the Dead Sounds phenomenon by going to the source: the radio station that originally produced the mysterious podcast. The folks there aren’t forthcoming with answers, however, and the women don’t realize that their public enquiry has now exposed them. The mysterious cult connected to Dead Sounds know who they are and what they are up to!

Elsewhere, the investigation into the murders has caused a rift in Nika and Josie’s marriage, so much so that Nika has moved into a hotel. But will she be safe there with the cult looking for her, as well?

Ignition Press has announced they will be exhibiting at New York Comic Con for the first time ever, hosting an array of creators and selling limited edition comics at Booth HB902 in the heart of the convention’s legendary Artist Alley.

Throughout the weekend, Ignition Press will have a variety of amazing creators signing, including Jeremy Haun (The Beauty, Murder Podcast), Jason A.

Ignition Press Debuts an Exclusive Variant Cover Program for their Webstore

Ignition Press has announced the expansion of their webstore with exclusive direct-to-consumer products. The webstore gives fans the opportunity to secure exclusive products including limited edition variant covers of their favorite series, the Cold Opens, and a variety of merchandise that had previously only been available at special events, Kickstarter campaigns, and conventions.

The publisher will offer limited edition exclusive variant covers of each of their first issues, beginning with the Murder Podcast #1 Ignition Exclusive featuring cover art from Shawn Martinbrough and the Voyeur #1 Ignition Exclusive
showcasing cover art from Tula Lotay. The Murder Podcast #1 Ignition Exclusive is limited to 300 units while the Voyeur #1 Ignition Exclusive is limited to 500 units.

As with all Ignition Press releases, the Ignition Exclusives will feature a unique serial number printed on the back cover tied to the print run of that cover. Fans should note that in order to ensure quality in the printing process and provide copies to the people working on the title, they may receive a numbered copy that exceeds the announced quantity, but that only the announced quantity will be released into circulation. And while readers can also pick up the standard covers and 1:5 variants on the webstore, Ignition Press encourages everyone to support their local comic shop.

Curious about a new series from Ignition Press? Readers can get a copy of a Cold Open for a series, which introduces the premise in an all-new, self-contained story along with behind-the- scenes material and information on how to dive further into the series. Also available are the First Looks, which are special preview books containing black-and-white teasers from three Ignition Press titles, as well as introductions by the authors.

Limited edition merchandise is also available for many series on the site, including a Murder Podcast t-shirt, Roots of Madness hair gloss (for natural AND synthetic hair), a NO Place art print, a Voyeur tote bag, Arcadia and Beauty enamel pins, Deluge face mask, and much more. Previously, this merchandise had only been available at the Ignition Press Room—a boutique pop-up experience at San Diego Comic-Con this year.

Murder Podcast #1 Gets a Second Printing

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.
