  • Great hosts, great show

    While I always enjoy the topic discussions in each episode, I particularly love it when the hosts just chat about what they've been reading recently. You can tell these are friends who love comic books. - Eric from Longbox Review

  • Incredible Show!

    This is a fantastic podcast with three guests that have a rapport that is honestly unmatched. After shamelessly listening to the show, I had to leave a review on how fantastic it is. I love it when they do a book of the month where they discuss in depth with what they love about the book and their dislikes. And it never comes off as hate when they dislike a book they have valid criticisms and then drop it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 208: A Conversation with Ignition Press Publisher Filip Sablik
Q: Can you talk about the Stan Lee graphic novel and why it was released as a full graphic novel?
It leveraged Stan Lee's broad audience and the potential to present a complete story across channels, while ensuring the book felt modern and accessible to new readers.
Episode 208: A Conversation with Ignition Press Publisher Filip Sablik
Q: Why the six-week release cycle instead of monthly?
A six-week cycle gives retailers enough sales data to make informed decisions and avoids the gaps caused by a traditional five-week month, keeping a steady stream of products.
Episode 208: A Conversation with Ignition Press Publisher Filip Sablik
Q: What role do retailers play in Ignition's strategy?
Retailers are partners; Ignition builds tools and promotions for stores, not just shelves, to help hand-sell and reduce risk, including returnable first issues and promotional assets.
Episode 208: A Conversation with Ignition Press Publisher Filip Sablik
Q: How have you managed to publish so many titles in your first year?
By focusing on creator-owned projects, building solid infrastructure, and fostering relationships with creators and retailers, Ignition kept friction low and aligned everyone around shared visions.
Episode 197: Interview with Dave Wielgosz
Q: How did you come to Showdown and land Ignition as the publisher?
I pitched multiple times, faced polite rejections, and then Jamie Rich at Ignition gave it a chance after reading different pitches; their belief in Showdown, especially as a first creator-owned book, made the project become a reality.
