Posted on by

Hank can’t stay out of the action for long. Two pizza perps have stolen one of Big Caligula’s gleaming new food trucks and think they can get away clean. Detective Hank Howard can’t let that happen. And this time he’s bringing along Southeast Regional Manager Barbara Knox for the ride! Hank Howard, Pizza Detective: The Fair Play kicks off the next adventure on August 5.

When it comes to taking down Hollywood’s worst criminals, Detective Hank Howard works alone. But when two crazed criminals decide to go full Grand Theft Auto and hijack the model for Big Caligula’s shining new fleet of food trucks, all bets are off. For the first time, Hank must team-up with Big Caligula’s Southeast Regional Manager Barb Knox, to recover the stolen whip. Together they’ll go full-throttle in a high-speed pursuit of justice, facing down a barrage of bullets, high-octane explosions, and two pizza perps who are willing to do whatever it takes to get away clean.

Hank Howard, Pizza Detective: The Fair Play is from writer Robert Venditti and features art and a cover by David Lapham.

Bad Idea Mega-Sizes their Comics with B-Side Stories

Posted on by

Bad Idea is delivering another good idea for their upcoming releases. The publisher isn’t releasing their comics digitally or in trades, instead, they’ll be oversized single issues packed with stories. And they’re packing those issues with brand-new, never-before-seen “B-Side” stories. These are short-form, self-contained comics. Each issue Bad Idea publishes will have an oversized, ad-free page count that will always feature a new “B-Side” tale. 

Every month, that “B-Side” will feature a standalone, done-in-one dose of high potency comics storytelling unlike anything we’ve published before — new genres, new characters, new concepts.

The first “B-Side” launches in ENIAC #1 in March, the new comic from Matt Kindt, Tomas Giorello, and Diego Rodriguez. The comic will be 48 pages in a prestige format for $3.99.

Future “B-Sides” will feature all-new contributions from creators like Karl Bollers, Sarah Burrini, Mae Catt, Khari Evans, Melissa Flores, Klaus Janson, David Lapham, Peter Milligan, Alex Paknadel, Eliot Rahal, Sean Ryan, Robert Venditti, and many, many more.
