Bad Idea is the brand new comics writer from Dinesh Shamdasani, Atom Freeman, Joshua Johns, Karl Bollers, and Anthony Militano. A direct-to-retailer writer, eschewing digital and commerce paperbacks in favour of one-cover one-per-person comedian e book gross sales from large comedian e book names. Well, Bad Idea Comics has now advised its 230+ vacation spot comedian e book shops that solely orders for the primary two titles of the brand new run, Orc Island, a four-issue weekly darkish fantasy heist comedian beginning on the 2nd of November, by Joshua Dysart, Alberto Ponticelli and Matt Hollingsworth, and Escape From Wyoming #1 by Robert Venditti and Jorge Monlongo, a science fiction Western with an unnamed back-up “B-Side” strip, made by tomorrow will get first printings. Any copies delivered after that, will probably be Not First Printings. Which is what each subsequent printing will probably be referred to as, as is the Bad Idea Way. That is tomorrow, Thursday, the twenty ninth of September. This is how Bad Idea broke the information to retailers this week. Registered retailers can improve, lower or in any other case amend their order from this hyperlink.
With two days left earlier than your first Final Order of BAD IDEA TWO: PART ONE , you knew we had been going to do one thing wacky to get everybody speaking, did not you? Well, right here it’s!
You took an opportunity on us by inserting your beneficiant pre-orders, and as we method the Final Order Deadline for our two launch titles we’re doubling down on you, our companions in crime, and stirring the pot to verify the 2 launch books are much more wanted in your shops.
BAD IDEA will solely be offering First Printings for orders positioned earlier than the Final Order Deadline for ESCAPE FROM WYOMING #1 and ORC ISLAND #1. That means solely orders positioned earlier than the top of the day on Thursday, Sept. twenty ninth together with any orders positioned through the pre-order bundle will probably be fulfilled with First Printings.
All orders subsequent to the Final Order Deadline will probably be crammed with Not First Printing copies.
What’s a Not First Printing? I’m so glad you requested, we’re extremely happy with this BAD IDEA innovation.
When a BAD IDEA comedian sells out we might return to press and create a brand new printing that’s just about an identical to the First Print by way of look and content material included. Many publishers do that and, the truth is, might return to press a number of instances creating a number of new printings they label second printing, third printing and so on. At BAD IDEA, regardless of what number of instances we return to press for a brand new printing, we label every printing a NOT FIRST PRINTING. We make no modifications between these new printings, making them indiscernible from one another. Even the UPC and indicia will probably be unchanged. No extra collectors chasing a duplicate of the later printing with the smallest print run. In reality, at BAD IDEA the First Printing is, over time, the printing with the smallest print run.
That’s proper, BAD IDEA can and can problem new printings which are indistinguishable from one another. The solely exception is the precise First Printing, which is able to characteristic a transparent shade differentiation on the duvet, a transparent First Printing slug within the UPC and will probably be labeled First Printing within the indicia.
