Bill Sienkiewicz & David Lapham's Habitat Changes Its Name To The Hub

Bill Sienkiewicz, Joshua Dysart and David Lapham's Habitat from Bad Idea Comics changes its name to The Hub.

Article Summary

Bill Sienkiewicz, Joshua Dysart, and David Lapham's comic Habitat is now renamed The Hab by Bad Idea Comics.
The Hab #1 is rescheduled for release in April 2026, delayed from its original December 2025 date.
The story follows billionaire Tuttle Barrows and his group in a sealed habitat facing ancient dangers and madness.
Exclusive variants include a "Lost Texts" prose edition and an ultra-rare VHS collectible with just 36 copies made.

Maybe it's because of Simon Roy's Habitat comic book from Image Comics. Maybe the original name wasn't snappy enough. Maybe because it's really late and they want to distract from that. But the Bad Idea Comic title Habitat #1 by Joshua Dysart, David Lapham and Bill Sienkiewicz is now The Hab #1, and no longer for December 2025 (obviously) but April 2026… here's the listing, the new lettered preview and what ran before…

Mercurial billionaire Tuttle Barrows prepared for everything—even the end of the world. Years ago he wielded his immense power and fortune to build a massive sealed habitat atop a once protected ancient freshwater glacial cave. Now, as the world outside unravels, Barrows, his family, and a handpicked inner circle retreat to their final sanctuary—a place built to outlast civilization itself. But something was already there. Beneath layers of ice, in the ancient freshwater vault, a long-dormant danger lurks. While hallucinations twist their reality and violence spreads like a fever they must descend deeper or risk their last refuge becoming a tomb.
