"There are over 4 million podcasts online… but this will be the last one you hear."
Throughout the summer, we've been keeping Daily Dead readers updated on a comic book series we can't wait to get our hands on. From Jeremy Haun, Mike Tisserand, and Ignition Press, Murder Podcast #1 will be available next month, and we're excited to share the first details on the upcoming “Murder Podcast: Killer Signing Spree” tour, which kicks off next month at Rose City Comic Con in Portland. Along with an opportunity to get your copy signed by Murder Podcast writer Jeremy Haun, tour stops will include exclusives you won't want to miss, and we have all the details, along with a look at one of the tour variants. One variant is so secret that even we haven't seen it!
Press Release: Ignition Press proudly announces the “Murder Podcast: Killer Signing Spree” Tour, a nationwide convention and comic store signing tour to support the launch of the publisher’s inaugural series. Ignition Press Creative Director and co-creator and writer of Murder Podcast, Jeremy Haun, is packing his bags and his hat and heading on an eleven stop cross-country signing tour in support of Murder Podcast #1 that will include an exclusive tour variant and tour shirt, only available at Murder Podcast: Killer Signing Spree Tour stops.
The tour will begin at Rose City Comic Con in Portland from September 5th through 7th, where Haun will be accompanied by fellow Ignition Press creators, Ande Parks, Phil Hester, and Leah Williams. The signing during Rose City Comic Con will be the ONLY early release of the Murder Podcast #1 Tour Variant, Secret Variant, and the exclusive Tour T-Shirt.
The tour schedule is as follows:
The tour will end with Haun signing at New York Comic-Con. Additional details regarding Ignition Press’ presence at Rose City Comic Con and New York Comic Con, as well as specific store tour stops, to be revealed at a later date. Interested fans should follow their nearest participating stores on social media and online to ensure they receive updates about individual tour stops.
“Signing tours are about connection. I absolutely love visiting shops, meeting staff, and hanging out with fans. I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve done on Murder Podcast and I can’t wait to share it with everyone on the Murder Podcast: Killer Signing Spree Tour this fall,” said Murder Podcast co-creator and writer Jeremy Haun.
A Murder Podcast #1 Tour Variant, which is limited to a print run of 800 copies featuring Ignition Press’ unique serial numbering, and exclusive Tour T-Shirt will be available at all Killer Signing Spree Tour locations. And for those in attendance, Jeremy will be bringing along an extra-special SECRET VARIANT that will be individually hand-numbered, for a total of 666 copies, and available ONLY from him on this signing tour. To obtain the exclusive Secret Variant, attendees must pledge to Jeremy, in-person, to NEVER share what the Secret Variant looks like (yes, that means online). 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.
