If you ran into someone who could look into your head and see every bad thing you’ve thought or done, how much trouble would you be in? Veteran writer Ande Parks, the co-creator of Extraction, and killer artist Dave Wachter invite you to unlock a story about a terrifying new kind of hero in Bad Thoughts. As announced at the publisher’s retailer presentation at ComicsPRO’s Annual Industry Meeting, Ignition Press will publish the new series beginning May 27th, 2026.

He knows every terrible thing you’ve done. And he’s coming for you. Jack Coates can look inside your mind and see every awful thing you’ve ever thought or done. It’s painful, but it serves him very well at his private security firm that deals with difficult situations and even more heinous people. He’s a good soldier with a good team that he trusts…but he’s about to find out what happens when you put your trust in the wrong people.

Bad Thoughts #1 is available in comic shops May 27th from writer Ande Parks and artist Dave Wachter, with colors by Brad Simpson, and letters by AndWorld Design. This issue features two open-to-order covers from series artist Dave Wachter and Fernando Blanco, along with a 1-in-10 retailer incentive by the legendary Phil Hester, inked by his longtime collaborator and series writer Ande Parks.
