Bad Idea Offers Up Exclusive Pins To First Customer To Buy ‘Tankers’ #1 In Every Store

by Olly MacNamee

Bad Ideas second comic book drops next week when Robert Venditti, Juan José Ryp, and Andrew Dalhouse Tankers #1 arrives in selected stores. And, like their golden pin giveaway for ENIAC #1, they’ll be rewarding the reader who bags the first issue in each of its approved stores with a very limited edition badge.

If you are one such lucky customer they Bad Idea are encouraging you to post about it on social and tag the official Bad Idea Twitter account @badideahello.

Check out the preview one more time below for the double-sized issue and think about dusting off that tent you haven’t used in years if you want to get a chance at grabbing this pin and the first copy of the book. Then you can always try flipping it like this greedy so-and-so. Or, y’know read it for your own personal enjoyment? Like comics were meant to be consumed once upon a time.

The CEO of global energy conglomerate Greenleaf Oil has just discovered a terrifying secret: the planet only has a decade or less of petroleum left before it’s gone forever. But he has a plan to make sure his great-great grandchildren can continue to generate maximum shareholder value – and secure his own legacy in the process. Rather than develop a game-changing renewable energy source through the power of corporate innovation, Greenleaf has perfected the next best thing – time travel (duh) – so that a team of six field-rat contractors armed to the teeth in individually customized mech suits can go back to the Cretaceous Period, tweak the trajectory of the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, and give mankind another 500 millennia worth of oil reserves. What could go wrong? Only all of human history, of course – because when Greenleaf’s team of Tankers come home, they’ll discover that not only did the dinosaurs never die out, they’ve kept evolving for another 60 million years…and they’re more pissed off than ever.
