Both Kindt and LaRosa will be signing two, ComicsPRO-exclusive Bad Idea lithographic art prints featuring LaRosa’s cover artwork for ENIAC #1 and MEGALITH #1 in all of their jaw-dropping splendor during the annual Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) Charity Auction on Friday, February 21st beginning at 9 pm PT.
ADVANCE LOOKS INSIDE BAD IDEA’S FIRST YEAR OF TITLES
Furthermore, retailers are encouraged to attend Bad Idea’s twin roundtable sessions on Friday, February 21st and Saturday, February 22nd for a special look forward at Bad Idea’s first year of publishing with exclusive looks inside ENIAC #1, MEGALITH #1, and ODINN’S— oh, wouldn’t you like to know?
BAD IDEA “COVER ENHANCEMENT KITS” & STICKERS
All attending retailers will also receive a set of exclusive, Bad Idea “cover enhancement kits” that will resolve the age-old philosophical dilemma: “Why can’t all comic books be Bad Idea comic books?” With Bad Idea’s exclusive “cover enhancement kits,” you now have the technology to transform acres of idle longbox inventory into de facto Bad Idea calling cards — in a manner that is entirely compliant with US copyright law! (Huzzah!)
Plus we’ll have Bad Idea stickers, too. (They’re just regular stickers for laptops and luggage and stuff.)
And, oh, did we mention we’ll be revealing a star-studded surprise on Friday? But more on that soon…
