Dan Watters, Ben Templesmith Lead New Creator Wave at Ignition Press
Ignition Press is making serious moves, dropping a huge creator announcement just ahead of San Diego Comic-Con. The independent publisher is bringing acclaimed writer Dan Watters — known for his genre-bending work on titles like 'Limbo' and 'Home Sick Pilots' — into the fold. He joins a roster of other top-tier talent, including artist Ben Templesmith, Brian Level, Christopher Mitten, Seth Peck, and Stephen Green.
This is a clear signal of Ignition Press’s ambitious expansion. Editor-in-Chief Jamie S. Rich emphasized the publisher's "no limits" approach to genre, tone, and style. Rich noted the diverse skill sets of the new creators, stating, "All that really ties them together is they are top of their game, doing really cool work." Fans should watch for fresh, boundary-pushing comics from this expanded lineup.
“The joy of doing a publishing line like the one we have at Ignition Press is there are no limits.”
