Ignition Press continues its pre-SDCC rollout of upcoming titles with Roy and Inaki Miranda’s Arcadia, Tim Seeley and Stefano Simeone’s No Place, and a new arc of The Beauty by Ignition co-founder Jeremy Haun and Jason Hurley, who will collaborate with a new artist, Ema Lupacchino.

The Miranda brothers, whose We Live was nominated for a 2021 Eisner Award, return with Arcadia, a story set in a world where humans have vanished and are replaced by artificial beings who have a human-like consciousness at their cores. The longform series, described as “existential science fiction,” will launch in November 2025, and Ignition will launch a Kickstarter to fund a Cold Open issue, a self-contained comic that introduces the story, in August.

NO Place is the story of a girl who returns to her home in Chicago after spending years in a magical jungle. No one believes her account of this fantasy world until a shadowy organization with knowledge of other fictional worlds comes forward and tasks her with saving the real world.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the thin line between children’s fairy tales and horror stories,” Seeley said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “Strange Worlds, weird creatures, bizarre rules about what you have to do to survive some other land… I wanted to show what happens to the kids who come back from a place like that, and the sense of responsibility… and paranoia it leaves them with.”

Ignition will debut NO Place: The Cold Open in July at Comic-Con International in San Diego.

Ignition also announced a new series of The Beauty, which was originally published by Image from 2015-2021. The final two issues of the series, #30-31, were canceled in 2019 and replaced by a one-shot in 2021, and Image also collected it into six trade paperbacks. Set in a world where a sexually transmitted disease makes its victims more beautiful, the series is being adapted into a television series that is slated to launch in Fall 2025.

On September 27, Local Comic Shop Day, Ignition Press will release The Beauty Book One exclusively to comic shops. The volume collects The Beauty #1-11, with art by Haun, Mike Huddleston, Brett Weldele, and Stephen Green, and will have an MSRP of $19.99. This volume is the first of three that will collect the full original series. 

Ignition has already announced four other launch titles (see “Ignition Press Announces Launch Titles by Cullen Bunn, Stephanie Williams”).
