Crowdfunding Corner: Get Save Now from Matt Kindt and Tomás Giorello

Posted on November 25, 2023 by Graphic Policy Team

Backer Beware: Crowdfunding projects are not guaranteed to be delivered and/or delivered when promised. We always recommend to do your research before backing.

Matt Kindt and Tomás Giorello reunite for the most ambitious comic event of our time in a graphic novel about a man desperate to change the past and save our world from total destruction! Being published by Bad Idea, Save Now is now live on Kickstarter! Back it today and don’t miss out on the stunning array of limited edition and campaign exclusive items.

Save Now features author Matt Kindt and Tomás Giorello, Diego Rodriguez, and Lewis LaRosa in a mind-bending, timeline twisting, epic adventure for the ages available only on Kickstarter!

Armed with the extraordinary ability to “save” any moment in his life and then go back and relive from that point forward again, Saver can willingly alter his actions and rewrite his history time and time again. However, his incredible power comes at a great cost. He is cursed with only being able to jump backward, never forward, and is burdened with reliving his life in agonizing real-time, aging all the while. Jump back six days and he must live every minute of those days out again, arriving back where he started but now six days older.

Saver has seen our future, and our impending apocalypse. Yet, no matter how many times he goes back and no matter how far back he goes, he can’t steer us clear of armageddon. What would you do if you knew the world was going to end but couldn’t stop it? What if you could choose to live your life out repeating the best year of your life? Which year would it be? This is the question at the heart of this year’s most must-read comic event. SAVE NOW is a triumph of storytelling. A sci-fi story like none that has ever come before. Action-packed, mind-bending, heart-wrenching and life-affirming.

NYCC 2023: Bad Idea and Matt Kindt deliver a one-of-one hand lettered convention exclusive of Save Now

Posted on October 11, 2023 by Graphic Policy Team

Head to the Bad Idea booth to participate in the race for a ONE-OF-ONE copy of Save Now NYCC #1 hand lettered by Matt Kindt!

Save Now is the story of a man who can ‘save’ any point in his life and return to it, reliving his life from that moment forward with the ability to change his actions. But with great power, also comes great pain. He is cursed with only being able to travel backwards, never forwards, and is burdened by having to spend his relived life in real time. Travel back 6 days, and he must relive those days in full, all the while, aging in real time.

Thanks to Bad Idea, you too will be able to experience this incredible power, and if you’re smart enough, and fast enough, you can earn yourself a free copy of Save Now NYCC #1!

Here’s how:

Come by the Bad Idea booth #3641 at one of the four designated times below and secure your racing bib.
Bad Idea will assign to you 3 locations on the convention floor to race to. A Ad Idea representative will be at each location but only one of them will have the redemption sticker you need.
Race to the locations until you’ve located the redemption sticker then return to booth #3641.
You only have 10 minutes to complete this task. If you return within that time you will have earned a copy of Save Now NYCC #1.
Get writer Matt Kindt to hand letter custom, 1-of-1 captions into your copy and make it a completely unique story!

Now the small print!

To qualify to race, you must sign up to follow the SAVE NOW Kickstarter campaign. To follow the campaign, simply click here and then click the NOTIFY ME ON LAUNCH button to learn when the campaign will launch.
You do not have to visit all 3 locations, you only need to find and return with the redemption sticker.
If you return after 10 minutes, fear not, hold onto your racing bib because you can get back in line and try again or return at another one of the designated times.
Save Now NYCC #1 is strictly limited to two hundred (200) copies. Only the first 200 racers to successfully return with a redemption sticker will earn a copy. Once all copies are gone the race will be over.
Last year Bad Idea sold out midway through the first day of NYCC. They anticipate another quick sell out. If you visit the Bad Idea booth and find the race is already over, don’t fret. Come say ‘hi’ because they’ve planned a very special gift for all those who missed the race.
A pro tip! Much like the journey within Save Now, you will likely be visiting locations you’ve already been to during New York Comic Con. Use this knowledge to find the fastest route. Time will be of the essence.

Bad Idea will only have 200 copies of Save Now NYCC #1 available. Plan to come to the earliest designated time you can. And get excited because this is the Save Now-iest Save Now yet. Each and every copy of Save Now NYCC #1 is built to be a unique 1-of-1 comic. The fateful final Save Now conversation with Integrity International is once again the subject of the story but this time Bad Idea has left several captions blank and writer Matt Kindt has graciously agreed to personally hand letter dialogue into your copy, making each and every copy of Save Now NYCC #1 a unique story!

Save Now Race Times:

Thursday 10/12 between 2:00pm – 3:00pm
Friday 10/13 between noon – 1:00pm
Saturday 10/14 between 2:00pm – 3:00pm

Bad Idea Kicks off in March 2021 with ENIAC #1

Posted on December 26, 2020 by Graphic Policy Team

ENIAC #1

Written by MATT KINDT // Art by DOUG BRAITHWAITE // Colors by DIEGO RODRIGUEZ
PLUS: An All-New BAD IDEA B-SIDE: “SAVE NOW”
Written by MATT KINDT // Art by TOMAS GIORELLO // Colors by DIEGO RODRIGUEZ
Cover by LEWIS LAROSA with LAURA MARTIN
FOUR ISSUES // MONTHLY
$3.99 EACH // 48 PGS. // ON SALE MARCH 3, 2021

At the height of World War II, the world’s most ingenious minds began a race to create a super-weapon capable of ending the war with the push of a button. One of those projects gave us the atom bomb…and another produced the world’s first supercomputer: ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) — an immeasurably complex mathematical model that targeted the Axis war machine by calculating missile trajectories and troop deployments.

Everybody knows that. It’s real-life American history.

Or so we were told.

On August 6th, 1945, the United States dropped the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima.

Three days later, a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki… Only President Truman wasn’t the one who gave order.

It was ENIAC.

In the Allies’ determination to end the war, they had accidentally created the world’s first autonomous machine intelligence…which had quickly deduced that one bomb wouldn’t be enough.

But ENIAC’s real plan was only just beginning…

Now, 75 years later, an encrypted countdown has just been detected in Earth’s satellite network and mankind only has three days left before ENIAC launches every weapon in the planet’s nuclear arsenal simultaneously. With few options and even less time, the Secretary of Defense has just given two covert operatives the most important mission in human history: kill ENIAC.

From the minds of New York Times best-selling writer Matt Kindt (Mind MGMT), incendiary artistDoug Braithwaite (Justice), and extraordinary colorist Diego Rodriguez (Hellblazer: Rise & Fall) comes ENIAC #1, the debut series from BAD IDEA – the unruly and experimental new comic publisher pushing the bounds of the medium (and your patience) one issue a time. This is no ordinary comic book… This is the long-classified history of an unspoken superpower more formidable than all of Earth’s nations combined…and now its story can finally be told.

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

Posted on December 15, 2020 by Graphic Policy Team

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.
