Ordained #1 turns to shops this January with a Second Printing with Ordained #2 Shifting Release Date

Posted on by

Ordained #1 was Bad Idea‘s biggest selling issue of 2025, outside of the monstrous one-million-plus-copy-beast that is Planet Death.

But it wasn’t enough. Comic shops sold out of Ordained #1 on Day One, we’re sold out at the distributor level. Ordained #1 was severely under-ordered. 

Bad Idea has responded with the BIGGEST Second Printing in its history — over three times larger than any second printing they’ve ever done before.

And it still wasn’t enough.

Ordained #1 Second Printing has already sold out at the distributor level, so we’ve rushed a Third Printing. Ordained #1 Third Printing (LUNAR CODE: 0126BD0528) hits stores on February 11th, with orders due by January 12th.

Bad Idea wants everyone caught up before Father Roy throws the next punch. That’s why Ordained #2 is now moving to a February 11th release date, to give everyone the chance to track down and experience the explosive first issue before the next chapter hits the stands.

Ordained is written by Robert Venditti with art by Trevor Hairsine with the second issue featuring art also by Tonči Zonjić, lettering by DC Hopkins, and coloring by Dave Stewart.

Ordained #2 gets expanded to 48 pages!

THE HEAT IS ON! Ordained #1 is out NOW. And it’s already a runaway success with nationwide store sell-outs, a second and third printing, and comic fans beating down our door for more high-octane action. Bad Idea has announced it’s expanding Ordained #2 into an action-packed 48-page powerhouse!

Ordained is written by Robert Venditti with art by Trevor Hairsine and Tonči Zonjić, color by Dave Stewart, and lettering by DC Hopkins, with a main cover Jorge Fornés.

After a bruising brawl with mob boss Cormac Byrne’s hired guns, Father Royston Craig is still standing. But Cormac’s not through with Roy yet. Now an entire city of corrupt cops and ruthless thugs is tasked with one mission–KILL THE PRIEST. Forced to rely on the combat-hardened skills he earned in a life he thought he left behind, Roy is battered, outnumbered, and on the run. His faith will be tested, and in a city full of killers, the question is: who can he trust?

Check out a preview of Ordained #2 and don’t miss it when it comes to shops January 21.

Ordained #1 gets a Third Printing

Posted on by

After just one week on the stands, Ordained #1 has already annihilated its Second Printing weeks before it hits the stands on January 21st! With a record number of orders forcing an instant sellout, Bad Idea is fast-tracking a Third Printing to attempt to keep up with the insane demand.

Ordained #1 Third Printing arrives in comic shops on February 11th.

And it features an ultra-limited incentive showcasing Arturo Lozzi’s breathtaking stained glass cover, now in black and white for the first time.

Ordained #1 is from writer Robert Venditti, art by Trevor Hairsine, color by Dave Stewart, and lettering by DC Hopkins.

Ordained #1 is a solid concept and debut that feels like an 80s/90s popcorn action flick

Father Royston Craig became a priest late in life but he’s determined to make up for lost time. Along with his regular duties at his St. Louis church, he also performs the prayers of the last rites to patients on their deathbeds at the nearby hospital. One day, he’s called to give these sacraments to Cormac Byrne, who doctors say won’t last the night. Byrne, like many others, has turned to God only at the end; he hasn’t been to church in decades. Father Roy is eager to hear his confession, but what starts as petty crime from a lifetime ago quickly becomes a horrifying litany of gangland violence and killings. Cormac Byrne is no ordinary man. He is, in fact, the head of the Irish mafia. God offers forgiveness to all who truly repent, and Father Roy completes his task by absolving Byrne of his mortal sins, leaving the man to die at peace……until the next morning. When Byrne makes a miraculous medical recovery. No longer at death’s door, Byrne is quick to return to his old ways. It’s business as usual and he’s got loose ends to tie up. First things first: KILL THE PRIEST who now knows where all the bodies are buried.But Father Roy’s collar wasn’t always white, and Byrne is going to learn the hard way that Father Royston Craig was once Chief Petty Officer Royston Craig, a former Navy SEAL who found his faith in the midst of battle. Now Father Roy must face vicious gangsters, corrupt cops, and his own inner demons if he is to survive. And while he will be forced to tap into a violent skill set he thought never to again entertain, the one thing Father Roy will not do… is kill.
