In this episode, I sit down with writer–artist Jeremy Haun, one of the most distinctive voices in modern comics, to talk about the evolution of his hit Image series The Beauty — the dark, provocative thriller about a sexually transmitted disease that makes its victims physically perfect… until it kills them. The book is now in production as an FX television series, and Jeremy shares behind-the-scenes details on how that adaptation is shaping up, what he’s learned from the process, and what fans can expect when The Beauty makes the jump from page to screen.
We also dig into his brand-new creator-owned mini-series Murder Podcast, a twisted and timely story about obsession, media exploitation, and the true-crime culture we can’t seem to turn off. Jeremy breaks down the premise, his inspirations, and how the book blurs the line between audience and accomplice.
Finally, we talk about Jeremy’s next big step — his new publishing venture, Ignition Press, built to give creators more control, flexibility, and creative freedom in the shifting landscape of independent comics
