\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n Ignition Press co-founder and Creative Director Jeremy Haun has had quite the banner year. Not only did the series he co-created with Jason A. Hurley<\/strong>, The Beauty<\/em>, relaunch at the publisher after a five-year hiatus<\/a>, but the television adaptation by Ryan Murphy<\/strong> and Matthew Hodgson<\/strong> broke records on FX. And while we await word as to whether there will be a second season, Haun is becoming even more prolific as a creator-owned writer at Ignition.<\/p>\n As co-founder, he launched the company’s publishing line up with Murder Podcast<\/em>, drawn by artist Mike Tisserand<\/strong>, last September. The series remained one of the company’s top sellers throughout its eight-issue run and garnered a Best Series nomination in this year’s Ringo Awards alongside industry heavyweights including Absolute Batman<\/em> by Scott Snyder<\/strong> and Nick Dragotta<\/strong>, Absolute Martian Manhunter<\/em> by Deniz Camp<\/strong> and Javier Rodriguez<\/strong>, and FML<\/em> by Kelly Sue DeConnick<\/strong> and David L\u00f3pez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The first of two Murder Podcast<\/em> trades will land in bookstores and comic shops on August 11th and will include a five-part gatefold showcasing Tisserand’s connecting covers, available only in the first printing. And given Ignition and Haun’s respective pedigrees in Hollywood, I understand that some very interesting conversations are already underway regarding the property.<\/p>\n The trade was one of the books that the publisher debuted early at their Ignition Pavilion across the street from SDCC. The same offsite, as Bleeding Cool reported earlier, saw 27,000 visitors over the course of the show last week<\/a>. Another early debut at SDCC was the original graphic novel Haun wrote based on a character and story by Stan Lee<\/strong>, created before his passing, and illustrated by Danny Luckert<\/strong> \u2013 Airwalker<\/em><\/a>. Both Haun and Luckert were at the Ignition Pavilion. promoting the publisher’s first original graphic novel ahead of its wide release this Tuesday, August 4th.<\/p>\n Which brings us to the final debut Haun had at SDCC, The Cold Open<\/em> issue for his next series, The Folk of Dooney Hollow<\/em><\/a>. The series hits close to home for Haun, who grew up and still lives in the part of southern Missouri that includes the Ozarks. Also known as the Ozark Mountains, Ozark Highlands, and Ozark Plateau, the expansive, rugged area features ancient, eroded plateaus and thousands of limestone caves, creating a mysterious, ancient, and naturally isolating environment. And as home to famous cryptids such as the Ozark Howler, MoMo, and the Gowrow, it’s perfectly suited for a horror story, of course. Haun teams up on the series with artist Alex Lins<\/strong>, best known for his work on Briar<\/em> at Boom Studios and Plastic Man: No More! <\/em>at DC Comics, both with Christopher Cantwell<\/strong>. The pair have been working on the project since Ignition Press began, which follows a young grad student investigating local legends in the Ozarks and discovers a hidden community of Irish settlers who vanished into the woods a century ago and are trapped by even more ancient secrets. This may explain why, ahead of the Final Order Cutoff (FOC), Ignition Press shared three issues, along with The Cold Open,<\/em><\/span> with retailers. And why Haun appeared on the popular and influential “Order Up The FOC Show” on The EXP on Friday, where he confirmed the series<\/a> is a tight five issues (plus the Cold Open). In the same appearance, Haun also teased a surprise guest artist for The Beauty <\/em><\/span>#10, describing them as one of “his favourite artists.”<\/p>\n But Bleeding Cool has one final scoop not yet picked up by other outlets, all of which are still recovering from SDCC. Ignition Press stealth-revealed the 1-in-10 retailer incentive by illustrator Ebrahel Lurci<\/strong> (Murder Podcast<\/em>, Cult-de-Sac<\/em>) via<\/a><\/span> PRH<\/a> and their own social media channels<\/a>. A cover that also appears to be the first cover appearance of “the Butcher,” referenced in the second issue’s solicitation info, <\/span>below.<\/a> With this being Haun’s first creator-owned series to launch since The Beauty<\/em> aired, and even Covrprice calling out that it<\/a> “has legitimate sleeper potential among the week’s independent releases,” retailers might want to double-check their orders before FOC closes on Monday night.<\/span> And fans might see about snagging a copy of the Lurci cover before prices go up. As well as keep an eye out on Ignition’s website for the Jae Lee<\/strong> Ignition Exclusive cover, although that art has not been revealed yet\u2026<\/p>\n 12-FOOT SKELETON #1 ARCADIA #9Article Summary<\/h2>\n

This might be Lola and Jimmy’s last Halloween. Not because they’re aging out at 12-years-old\u2026there’s a12-foot-tall lawn skeleton on a rampage in their neighborhood!
Lola is a triple threat of social suicide: goth girl, new kid, and outspoken feminist. Meanwhile, Jimmy is a bookish, quiet, bullied kid trying to enjoy his favorite holiday between cancer treatments.
When Lola discovers she might have a much stronger connection with the malevolent force inhabiting the skeleton than she could ever imagine possible, it’s up to Jimmy to inspire them to face certain danger and embrace the future rather than run from their traumatic pasts.
Aaron Campbell (Hellblazer), Tim Seeley (Inglorious X-Force), and Ben Templesmith (30 Days of Night) present a Halloween story with the heart and soul of a classic Spielberg film alongside all the spills, chills, and horrifying thrills of everyone’s favorite 1980s slasher movies!<\/p>\n
