We alluded to the stealth announcement of the second title from Ignition Press the other day, but now it is PR official, and here’s an exclusive first look at some of the covers for Voyeur, a “steamy art heist thriller” from Leah Williams (X -Factor, Gotham City Sirens ) and David Baldeón (Domino, Harley Quinn), with colorist Eva de la Cruz and lettering studio AndWorld Design. Williams and Baldeón previously collaborated on Power Girl.
The plot is a little White Lotus, a little Lifetime, and will run for five issues starting on September 10, 2025.
As head of security at the upscale Thai resort Koh Kingfisher, Rook has access to absolutely everything. From his office, he can punch into any closed-circuit camera on the island and see what all the guests are up to—and trust us, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought.
When Madeline arrives, she instantly captures Rook’s attention—and she just as quickly catches on to his game. Madeline not only picks up on the fact that he’s spying on her, but when she confronts him about his little hobby, she realizes he’s not exactly who he says he is. She knows Rook is at the resort to rob it of all its valuable art, and Madeline wants in.
“I’ve spent nearly eight years writing cape comics for Marvel and DC. Before that, I spent years anonymously writing fan fiction on AO3 and Wattpad. Before that I was in film school. Voyeur unifies these skillsets,” Williams explains.
“Voyeur is for me an embarrassment of riches: a very sought-after change of tone and tale; a challenge in almost every aspect of comic making as I’ve practiced it for years; a whole new course as an artist, treading on grounds that I love as a fan; an adventure with the most fantastic of partnerships in every front of its creation,” said Baldeón. “But most of all, Voyeur is an absolute joy of a book to make and I’m both hoping and absolutely sure it shows.”
There will be variant covers, and they are quite intriguing, as you can see – dude under the dock! The first issue features two open-to-order covers by Paulina Ganucheau (Zodiac Starforce!, Wonder Woman) and Emanuela Lupacchino (Supergirl, Starfire). There is also a a limited-edition variant by Yanick Paquette (Batman, Wonder Woman: Earth One).
Ignition Press editor in chief Jamie S. Rich was also excited by this tale: “We use the word ‘unlock’ a lot around here at Ignition Press, and a book like Voyeur inspires me to use it in the best way. It’s amazing to see two talents like David and Leah unlock their potential, to unlock their voice, and do something on the page we’ve never seen them do but always imagined they could. Voyeur is such a huge step forward for both of them as storytellers, it immediately makes you excited not just for the comic in your hands, but for what’s coming next.”
Ignition Press has been powering up for the last 12 months, led by Rich, Eric Gitter (CEO), Filip Sablik (Publisher), and Jeremy Haun (Creative Director). Their first title, Murder Podcast, also launches in September. Ignition Press titles can be ordered via PRH.
