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?

New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ‘78, PLANET DEATH) and powerhouse artist Trevor Hairsine (DCEASED, X-MEN) tighten the noose in the next brutal chapter of their no-holds-barred action crime spectacle. 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.

Ordained #2 gets a Second Printing Ahead of Release

Posted on by Leave a comment

Ordained cannot be stopped! After launching to universal critical acclaim demand for Ordained has reached a fever pitch! Ordained #1 has already bulldozed through THREE massive printings, with Ordained #1 Fourth Printing on the verge of yet another sell-out.

Now, Ordained #2 has sold out at the distributor level — a week before it smashes into stores on March 11th!

With a backlog of orders for more already piling up, Bad Idea is fast-tracking a Second Printing to try and keep up with the demand.

Ordained #2 Second Printing arrives in stores on April 15th, alongside Ordained #1 Fourth Printing, and the all-new, bone-crushing special — Ordained #0: The Machine!

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

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!

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.

Tonči Zonjić joins Bad Idea’s Ordained

Posted on by
Tonči Zonjić Ordained #2

Ordained #1, this year’s biggest action blockbuster, smashes into comic shops on December 10th with a who’s who of industry powerhouses:

New York Times best-selling author Robert Venditti
Superstar artist Trevor Hairsine
Ten-time Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart
Lettering Legend DC Hopkins
Eisner Award-nominated cover artist Jorge Fornés

PLUS a TOP SECRET returning comics superstar — world-renowned artist Tonči Zonjić joins Ordained!

A modern David Mazzucchelli whose visionary widescren action earned an Eisner nomination on Who Is Jake Ellis? and made him a star on Mike Mignola’s Lobster Johnson.

Zonjić will bring Father Roy’s explosive past as a Navy SEAL to life kicking off in Ordained #2.

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.

Don’t miss your chance at this must-read comic. Contact your local comic shop before Final Order Cutoff Monday, November 3rd!
