Bad Idea keeps the Gimmicks Flowing with the Tankers vs. Ancient Aliens Ancient Amber Edition
The next Tankers epic kicks off this June with Tankers vs. Ancient Aliens from writer Robert Venditti, art by Tomas Giorello, Trevor Hairsine, and more.
Publisher Bad Idea has no fear of bringing out some of the more creative gimmicks for their comics and this debut is no exception.
Tankers vs. Ancient Aliens #1 is getting an “Ancient Amber Edition” that contains a “Jurassic Insect.” These limited covers feature an epoxy resin with the prehistoric insect inside. But, don’t get your Jurassic Park dreams rolling, it’s a replica Jurassic insect.
The Tankers were sent back 65 million years into the past with a simple mission. To use their weaponized mech-suits to divert the asteroid that annihilated the dinosaurs and buy a little more time before extinction – and a lot more future oil reserves. But deep in Earth’s prehistoric past, something far deadlier than dinosaurs lies in wait. A species of star-faring, super-advanced ancient aliens! Battle-hardened by millennia of galaxy-spanning civil war, the ancient aliens have come to Earth armed to the teeth and ready to unleash the most fearsome arsenal unknown to man. Now the Tankers must wage an all-out war against ancient aliens and monstrous super-dinosaurs alike if they hope to fight their way back to a future worth saving!
