Ignition Press Unleashes Stan Lee OGN, Major Debuts, and Anniversary Blitz at SDCC
Ignition Press is coming in hot to San Diego Comic-Con, turning up the heat on its first anniversary with a flurry of new titles, an expanded presence, and some serious creator power. The indie publisher, known for championing creator-owned stories, is making waves with two high-profile "Cold Open" issues from industry heavyweights Cullen Bunn and Jeremy Haun.
Fans can snag advance copies of Cult-de-Sac: The Cold Open, a new horror series by Bunn (Bone Parish) and Fico Ossio, and The Folk of Dooney Hollow: The Cold Open by Haun (Haun of Horror) and Alex Lins. These "Cold Open" issues aren't just teasers; they're standalone prequel stories designed to draw readers into new worlds, complete with behind-the-scenes material. Both $4.99 issues will have limited-edition variant covers for $9.99. Bunn and Haun will also be signing at the Ignition Pavilion throughout the convention. This is big news for readers eager for fresh takes from established talent.
But that's not all. Ignition Press isn't just bringing new comics; they're debuting Airwalker, an original graphic novel by none other than Stan Lee, Jeremy Haun, and Danny Luckert. This is a surprise drop that will surely get fans talking.
