Comic Bad Idea is back with “part two” of its publishing strategy. The comic publisher announced last year it was “over”, and if you believed that we have a bridge to sell you. Last week the publisher revealed its return with a new gimmick and its first wave of releases that will begin to go on sale in November. But, where can you get these comics?

Bad Idea curates its availability creating a list of “destination stores” the comics can be found at. Stores must apply and are given a strict set of rules to follow. The previous group of stores were “fired” and had to reapply again. From what we can tell (cobbling together various announcements of retailer waves), around 80 stores chose to do that (though some might have closed, others are chains). That’s a surprising number of shops. This included some high profile locations.

I reached out to some of the shops and all returned a very common theme that the hoops they needed to jump through weren’t worth the result and most didn’t appreciate the “firing” and having to reapply. In short, the amount of work and management focused on the one publisher didn’t return enough sales to justify the focus and amount of work that needed to be done.

Still, Bad Idea Part Two is launching with over 200 stores worldwide and is open to adding more. Many are returning shops and there are some new ones as well.

Below you can find the new list of shops where you can get your upcoming Bad Idea comics and as always, good luck with the games for those that want to participate!
