3...2...1...Ignition! Today, we welcome Filip Sablik and Jeremy Haun to discuss their ambitious new venture, Ignition Press. Launched in late 2024, the company represents a bold new chapter for Filip, who departed his role as President of Publishing & Marketing at BOOM! Studios after 12 years, and Jeremy, the acclaimed creator known for works like The Beauty. Joined by former IDW Editor-in-Chief Jamie S. Rich and film producer Eric Gitter, the team has assembled to create something different in the comics publishing landscape, focusing on horror, science fiction, crime, and fantasy while eschewing traditional superhero fare. We explore the genesis of Ignition Press and their philosophy of building overlapping communities around genre-focused content, with an upcoming slate featuring creators like Cullen Bunn, Stephanie Williams, Leah Williams, Jim McCann, and Si Spurrier.

Until recently, you probably knew Filip Sablik as President of Publishing and Marketing at Boom! Studios. After all, he was a very public cheerleader for the company (and the industry as a whole), moving Boom! into kids comics, developing acclaimed titles like Lumberjanes and Something is Killing the Children, and innovating at the retail level and on Kickstarter. But now, he's forming a brand new comic book company headed by Hollywood producer Eric Gitter and alongside former IDW head Jamie S. Rich and creator Jeremy Haun. It's going to be epic! And so is this episode.You can follow Filip on Facebook and Instagram @filipsablik.____________________Check out a video version of this episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits.If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

The Beat's Heidi MacDonald returns to the podcast to talk about Penguin Random House's acquisition of BOOM! Studios and our expectations for San Diego Comic Con. MacDonald discusses the big PRH/BOOM! news, why the former may have wanted to acquire the latter, the big news ahead of San Diego Comic Con, where things are right now, DSTLRY's big move, how SDCC is shaping up, how unique SDCC is relative to other conventions, the big plans The Beat has for the event, her upcoming daily TV show, celebrating 20 years of The Beat, the evolution of comic cons, what keeps her excited about The Beat, and more. There are two corrections from the podcast. First, Filip Sablik's title at BOOM! Studios was actually President of Publishing & Marketing, not Sales & Marketing as I stated in the episode. Second, while Tiny Onion does a lot of design and production work for DSTLRY, Emma Price, Erika Schnatz, Jared K. Fletcher, Francesco Francavilla, and Lee Garbett have also done design work on a variety of individual titles and logos.
