VeVe Comics, the premier platform for digital comics and collectibles, has onboarded independent comics publisher BAD IDEA, known for its provocative strategies and exclusive releases.
The partnership debuts on 30 April, 2025 with the digital release of PLANET DEATH #0 - the biggest-selling independent comic of the last three decades - exclusively on VeVe Comics.
Famed for rewriting the rulebook on comic distribution, BAD IDEA set themselves apart by prioritizing bold creativity and exclusive availability through select comic book stores. The publisher's collaboration with VeVe Comics represents a significant expansion into the digital arena, leveraging the platform's extensive global reach to bring their storytelling to an even wider audience.
PLANET DEATH #0, with a record-breaking 909,650 physical copy print run heading to comic shops around the globe, is a high-profile project crafted by Derek Kolstad, the acclaimed creator behind the John Wick franchise. Kolstad collaborates with celebrated comic writer Robert Venditti (Superman '78, Green Lantern), visionary illustrator Tomás Giorello (Star Wars, Conan), and ten-time Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart (Hellboy, Star Wars) to deliver a high-octane sci-fi epic set to captivate readers worldwide.
Peter Stern, BAD IDEA’s Chief Operations Officer, addressed the significance of this strategic evolution. “Partnering with VeVe marks a major milestone in the evolution of BAD IDEA. We started by shaking up our physical distribution—now we're bringing our best-in-class comics to digital. This next wave of titles represents some of the absolute best our medium has to offer, and we’re committed to ensuring those comics are delivered to our readers in all the formats they want.”
VeVe Comic’s sophisticated platform enables fans to experience PLANET DEATH #0 in an engaging, high-quality digital format with panel-by-panel reading, preserving the meticulous artwork and pacing envisioned by its creators.
David Yu, CEO of VeVe, emphasized the transformative nature of this partnership. “VeVe is committed to enhancing how readers engage with comics, offering innovative, immersive digital experiences. Collaborating with BAD IDEA, a publisher synonymous with groundbreaking storytelling and truly unique fan engagement, is a natural fit with our vision to bring the best of traditional comic collecting to the digital space.”
This significant digital launch of PLANET DEATH #0 will be closely followed by PLANET DEATH #1 in July 2025 on VeVe Comics, along with several other highly anticipated BAD IDEA titles later in the year.
The strategic partnership between BAD IDEA and VeVe Comics proves that digital and traditional comic worlds not only co-exist, but enhance each other. It opens up exciting new frontiers for storytelling, fan connection, and global access like never before.
