Los Angeles, CA (July 16th, 2026) – Ignition Press is excited to announce multiple partnerships at the newly-announced Ignition Pavillion during Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC) as part of the Ignition Sequence: SDCC 2026 series of announcements leading up to the event. In addition to the publisher’s creator meet-and-greet area, the Ignition Pavilion will host major activations from eBay Live and Revenge Of.
eBay Live is a livestream shopping experience that connects buyers with knowledgeable sellers in real time, enabling them to ask questions, see items up close, engage with other enthusiasts and shop instantly.

The Ignition Pavilion will feature a dedicated eBay Live selling lounge with multiple livestreams broadcasting from two dedicated sets every day, bringing the SDCC experience to fans around the country. The livestreams will feature fan favorite influencers, brands, and sellers including:
- Comic artist Bill Sienkiewicz doing live signings and sketching, hosted by Big Clutch;
- Legendary comic artist, writer, editor, publisher and current CCO at DC Comics, Jim Lee, doing live sketches and signings, hosted by ANZ Collects;
- Star of Storage Wars, Rene Nezhoda, showcasing a rare comic book collection granted pedigree designation by PSA featuring vintage, silver, and bronze age comics;
- The release of the exclusive DC x eBay Live Absolute Batman & Absolute Catwoman connecting cover;
- And signed copies of Ignition Press SDCC exclusives, rare comics, and a variety of other exciting collectibles.
Fans can tune in to bid on and purchase convention exclusives and watch appearances and interviews by fan favorite creators – from the Ignition Press stable and beyond!
Joining eBay Live and Ignition Press at the Ignition Pavilion is Revenge Of, the Los Angeles-based lifestyle brand specializing in comics, graphic novels, books, and pinball. LA’s go-to nerd bodega brings their impeccable curation, unique personality, and production values to SDCC for the first time to launch an expansion of the Revenge Of experience, which will be announced tomorrow as part of Ignition Sequence: SDCC 2026. Additionally, Revenge Of’s sister company, FTB.Design, will provide production design and fabrication services for the Ignition Pavilion.
“Joining forces with Ignition Press for SDCC 2026 has been a dream come true,” said Jeff Eyser, Creative Director at Revenge Of. “Together we have constructed an experience that is both ambitious and fitting as we announce our next chapter.”
Additionally, the Ignition Pavilion welcomes back Seven Seas Roasting Company, the award-winning San Diego-based, veteran-owned, farmer-direct coffee roaster, once again this year to provide fans with delicious coffee beverages to give them a mid-day pick-me-up from 12:00pm until 4:00pm Thursday, July 23rd through Sunday, July 26th. To secure a free beverage, fans need to sign up for the publisher’s weekly e-newsletter, Ignition Insiders, through this LINK. Once signed up, they will receive a voucher for a free beverage of their choice! Any existing Ignition Insiders, who are attending SDCC, will automatically receive a link to a voucher ahead of the event. The first 200 fans per day will be able to redeem their voucher for a drink of their choice including brewed coffee, espresso beverages, chai beverages, and tea. Each voucher is limited to one beverage per attendee throughout SDCC.
On Thursday through Saturday from 5:00pm to 7:00pm, the coffee station will change over to a bar for the Ignition Pavilion Happy Hour(s), with a selection of beer, wine, cocktails, and mocktails themed to Ignition Press books. During this time, every purchase over $20 at the Ignition Pavilion by customers will come with a free drink ticket. All customers may exchange the drink ticket for a non-alcoholic beverage of their choice and customers meeting the legal drinking age (21 years old) may select an alcoholic beverage. Limit one drink ticket per customer per day during the Ignition Pavilion Happy Hour(s). Customers must show valid ID to verify their age at the time of purchase.
Fans can also preorder a limited-edition exclusive bottle of Ignition Proof Rum, made in partnership with The Obscure. The Obscure is a unique and unconventional distillery experience based in Los Angeles which has mesmerized visitors with creative cocktails inspired by their hand-crafted spirits. This Navy Strength 110 proof (55% alcohol) rum will ignite your creative spirit and pairs brilliantly with many of the high-octane stories from Ignition Press. Bottles will be fulfilled directly by The Obscure to the customer after SDCC.
“We did something really fresh and exciting last year at SDCC with the Ignition Press Room. It was a nice start, but we wanted to go even bigger this year,” said Creative Director Jeremy Haun. “The bigger, better Ignition Pavilion has given us the opportunity to team up with an amazing group of partners to make this SDCC one to remember. Those partnerships are adding something new and unique for Ignition fans, both on site and for those of you that can’t make it to the con this year. We loved working with the fine folks at Seven Seas Roasting Company last year so much, that we just had to have them back. On top of that, we’ve added in a signature Happy Hour service from The Obscure.”
“Both eBay Live and Revenge Of TV are going to give both fans onsite and at home the opportunity to get in on special programing and chances to get SDCC exclusive merchandise,” continued Haun. “We’re doing something new, big, and different here at the Ignition Pavilion. You’re not going to want to miss it.”
