Five years ago, a government supercomputer triggered the Singularity: an explosion of technological superintelligence heralding an unimaginable tomorrow.
At least, it almost did. Within moments, a failsafe activated. The plug was pulled. The future was aborted. But something leaked in those first picoseconds, through wire and wave. And now?
The future fights back. Inexplicable events. Miracles and monsters. Harbingers of revolution…or apocalypse?
Minotaur is the tale of Gloria Monday, a photojournalist documenting the lives of those, like her, who are haunted, tortured, and transformed by outbreaks of the future; along with the no-nonsense ex-military muscle who watches her six, and the reformed tech bro secretly bankrolling their global mission to expose it all.
From Simon Spurrier (The Flash, John Constantine: Hellblazer, Dead in America) and Mike Dowling (The Amazing Spider-Man, Unfollow) comes Minotaur, an X-Files for the forward-looking era, with science-fiction ideas ripped from the pages of New Scientist, manifesting among human societies in spooky, unsettling ways.

All the great artists have one thing in common…they're dead.
A true patron of the fine arts, Mr. Cherish has dedicated his life to scouting and supporting emerging artists, launching countless unknowns from obscurity into industry superstardom.
Unfortunately for these young artists, the secret to Cherish's success is their untimely demise. Nothing makes a work of art more desirable and valuable to collectors than the passing of its creator, and Cherish has refined his ability to orchestrate spectacular tragedies without leaving a trace…before selling his dead protégés' oeuvres for massive profits.
Painter Matty Barnes is primed to become Cherish's next 'hit,' but when the script is flipped on this latest murder, a shocking twist puts his empire in the crosshairs.
Writer Christian Ward (Batman: City of Madness, Event Horizon) and artist John J. Pearson (The Department of Truth, The Infernals) put their own life's work on the page in a highbrow thriller at the bloody intersection of art and commerce!

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger…at least, that's what healthy people say.
Valentine Virago has always struggled with her health. Her rare autoimmune disorder has defied all treatment, and as she grew older, it defied even classification. You see, Valentine can take her immune system and weaponize it. What would just be a normal sneeze to the rest of us, she can turn into a projectile of bloody miasma. Just as a start.
Fed up with being a test subject, poked and prodded by pushy doctors, Valentine has gone on the lam in search of the freedom to be herself. Unfortunately, interested parties want her back in their care, and they are sending goons in hazmat suits. Led by Jono, her one-time nurse and potential love interest, they're offering her a spot in a private medical facility run by Jono's parents. Val isn't one for institutions, however, and what some may see as a safe haven,she sees as a prison— and who wants to be trapped in a prison, when you're already trapped in your own body?
Writer Tini Howard (Marian Heretic, X-Men) teams up with artist Amilcar Pinna (X-Men: First Class, Galactic) and colorist Amanda Grazini (Creepshow, The Cryos) for their new series Sicko, a surreal story perfect for fans of Doom Patrol and mutant adventures of all kinds.

As Jordan Savage struggles to use his father's mystic sword against attacking Mordorks, his twin sister is locked in a battle of her own. Namely, her own anxiety and the legacy of her heroic mother, which has now suddenly been foisted upon her. It's hard enough to live up to the reputation of a woman who you never understood and who you think doesn't understand you, but it's even harder when the entire human race depends on it!
This penultimate issue of the first series of Just Brutal is not just a crucial inflection point in the plot, but it's also the most emotional issue for our characters. Fans of Dennis Hopeless's acclaimed run on Spider-Woman know he understands the dynamics of mother and child, and his work with Jason Aaron on Sea of Stars demonstrated his insight into how loss informs a family's legacy, but he takes it to a whole new area in Just Brutal. You can't miss this one!

From the co-creator of The Beauty, the FX television series from Ryan Murphy, comes a whole new concept of modern horror.
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 realize.
Written by Jeremy Haun (The Beauty; The Realm) and with art by Mike Tisserand and Danny Luckert, this debut Ignition Press title will make you think twice before you fire up those ear buds and press play because it just might be the last thing you hear.
