Bad Idea Selling Lottery Flash Drives For $50 Each On Cyber Monday

Published Mon, 28 Nov 2022 11:57:11 -0600

Bad Idea Comics is a relatively new comics publisher from Dinesh Shamdasani, Atom Freeman, Joshua Johns, Karl Bollers, and Anthony Militano. A direct-to-retailer publisher, eschewing digital and trade paperbacks in favour of one-cover one-per-person comic book sales from big comic book names. The new rebranding has seen them, continue to launch PR stunts to a) get attention and b) raise money by exploiting FOMO of comic collectors, even as the details are increasingly made more ridiculous. We have had them selling rocks, doughnuts and even used stickers, but their Black Friday 2022 offering was at another level with bowling pins and toy TVs. Now for Cyber Monday? Flash drives from between $50 to $500. And in the process talking about that Mark Waid comic from Bad Idea called They're All Terrible.
