Interested fans should inquire with the local comic shop on the tour stops nearest them. So, can YOU keep a secret? 

“One of the many qualities I admire most about my co-founder, Jeremy Haun, is his dedication to  supporting our retail partners and connecting with fans on each and every one of his projects,” added Filip Sablik. “When he proposed an ambitious, month-long nationwide signing tour to support the launch of Murder Podcast and Ignition Press, I knew it was another opportunity to put into action our mission to meet potential fans where they already are. Jeremy is the perfect ambassador to build communities around Ignition Press in some of our favorite comic shops  across America.”

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, co-creator of The Beauty, soon to be a prestige FX television series from Ryan Murphy, 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.
