Murder Podcast #1
Writer: Jeremy Haun
Artist: Mike Tisserand
Publisher: Ignition Press
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.
Murder Podcast is the perfect launch title for Ignition Press, blending true crime, a terrifying tale from Jeremy Haun, and stunning artwork by Mike Tisserand. This premiere issue hooked me with its plot and held me tight with fresh, gripping narrative, and breathtaking visuals. I’m not only excited for what’s next in this series, but I am also super eager to see more from Tisserand in the world of comics. – CLICK HERE to read the entire review

Star Wars: Tales from the Nightlands #1
Writer: Cavan Scott
Artist: Soo Lee
Publisher: Dark Horse
On Ryloth, Twi’leks whisper about the Nightlands, the realm where their spirits retire after death. Legend says that on nights when the veil is thinnest, you can speak with the shades who reside there.
On one such night, Anakin Skywalker and his Twi’lek friend Daesha try to summon the ghost of a much-loved relative for a final goodbye. But when Anakin makes contact with the Nightlands, the answer is anything but friendly…
Enter: The Nightlander, a Star Wars boogeyman that seeks to possess a living host and bring chaos to the galaxy!
Spectators HC
Writer: Brian K. Vaughan
Artist: Niko Henrichon
Publisher: Image Comics
Putting the “graphic” back in graphic novel, this unconventional supernatural romance takes a hard look at sex and violence, and the very different ways we obsessively watch both.
Hundreds of years in the future, New York City is haunted by many ghosts, including a voyeuristic woman who died in our present day and a mysterious gun-toting man from the distant past. Normally solo travelers, these two specters meet each other just in time to observe what might be the end of the (living) world.
Spectators is a bold exploration of a few taboo topics, wrapped up within a supernatural romance. Brian K. Vaughan constructs a slow but powerful tale, while Niko Henrichon injects this story with intense and emotional illustrations. Together, this pair creates a thought-provoking graphic novel that challenges our notions about viewing, living, and, ultimately, being human. Spectators is a truly spectacular graphic novel. – CLICK HERE to read the entire review
