THIS IS NOT BAD IDEA at Baltimore Comic-Con This Weekend — Venditti & Dysart Will Not Be There, Plus Two Exclusive Not Comics!


We’d like to inform all fans that go to Baltimore Comic-Con this weekend and visit booth 2013: THIS IS NOT BAD IDEA.

Additionally, we’d like to clarify that the two figures standing at the booth who look like ESCAPE FROM WYOMING writer, Robert Venditti, and ORC ISLAND writer, JOSHUA DYSART, are not Venditti and Dysart.

In actuality, Baltimore Comic-Con booth 2013 is the THIS IS NOT BAD IDEA booth. The latest invention of BAD IDEA Labs is an experimental but revolutionary new type of self-sufficient booth that requires no physical presence by the publisher but still enables the fans to experience and interact.

The two figures at the booth that look like Venditti and Dysart are not flesh and blood. They are the latest in bleeding edge, fully-interfacable replica technology. Like those sweet holograms you see of Tupac at music festivals but physically there (still, please don’t touch). Come see the space-age marvel we call “cardboard standees!”

And we’re bringing two exclusive comics to Baltimore Comic-Con for anyone who helps us prove that you don’t need to pay staff to have a convention booth! We’re also bringing a deli-style ‘take a number’ ticket dispenser in place of an actual person. Here’s how you earn those comics:

  1. Come by booth 2013 at any time, grab a ticket and take a selfie with either standee.
  2. Post that selfie and tag @badideahello on Twitter or Instagram.
  3. Return to booth 2013 at one of the designated times (listed below) with your ticket because you have earned a copy of the THIS IS NOT ESCAPE FROM WYOMING #1or THIS IS NOT ORC ISLAND #1.
  4. Do the whole thing again but take and post a selfie with the other standee (or do both to begin with and post twice) to earn both books.
Be advised, you must have taken a selfie, posted it and tagged @badideahello to earn your comic.

To earn THIS IS NOT ESCAPE FROM WYOMING #1: Post a selfie with ESCAPE FROM WYOMING writer, Robert Venditti.

To earn THIS IS NOT ORC ISLAND #1: Post a selfie with ORC ISLAND writer, Joshua Dysart.

We will only have 146 copies of each book, in honor of the 146k worth of orders to the STOP BAD IDEA Kickstarter campaign. You had your chance to stop us haters. You blew it. Plan to come to the earliest designated time you can to secure your copy. If we run out of comics before the end of the convention we will not be able to make more. We anticipate a sell out. These comics will only be available at Baltimore Comic-Con.
