Writer Joanne Starer & Artist Khary Randolph have their new series, Dinner Date, releasing in just a few weeks on October 7th. This series is going to be a wild time, and Ignition is celebrating in a big way. 

So first, the series is getting an early release this weekend at Baltimore Comic Con. It is then dropping just after Midnight on October 7. Other Midnight releases happening on the 7th include: 

• Midnight Spider-Man #1 
• Midnight X-Men #1 
• Midnight Fantastic Four #1 
• Sabrina The Teenage Witch #1 
• Avengelyne #1 

Now the book’s official description reads: 

“Modern dating is rough. No one likes being on the apps, but it’s not much easier meeting people IRL. Especially when they might turn you into a vampire without warning. 

This is exactly what happened to Syd. She was only trying to get over her toxic ex—whom she may still drunkenly text from time to time—not looking to have her life totally changed. She thought finding the right guy before was hard, but now she has an unquenchable thirst for blood. Her dating pool has suddenly become her food chain! 

Meanwhile, Izzy has been trying to make her dreams a reality in the Big Apple, though right now she’s part of the gig economy working as a rideshare driver. When Syd ends up in the back of Izzy’s car, there is an instant connection. Is this love at first sight, or will it all end with one bite?” 

Ignition’s Director Of Sales, Daniel Crary, had this to say about the new series: 

“Dinner Date is the perfect book for our current age of dating. It is hilarious and horrific in equal measure, which pretty much sums up most experiences on ‘the apps’ in 2026. And dropping this book at midnight is about as a perfect a ‘You Up?’ as we could send to welcome Dinner Date to comic shops.” 

Dinner Date #1 releases October 7th.
