Planet Death #0 has 655,000 copies ordered… so far

Bad Idea has announced that the debut issue of the upcoming sci-fi epic Planet Death has sold 655,000 copies, making it the largest selling independent comic book in over 30 years, since Jim Lee’s WildC.A.T.S. #1 in 1992. Planet Death #0, arrives in stores on April 30th and is timed to take advantage of the largest single retail day in comics — Free Comic Book Day — the following Saturday, May 3rd.

Planet Death marks the first time a Bad Idea comic is being distributed, via Lunar Distribution, wide, to all comic shops. Planet Death #0 is still currently in its solicitation period in which comic stores place their orders and the final sales count is expected to climb even higher. The current total represents orders from stores that have taken a position early. Major orders have been placed by New Dimension Comics, Third Eye Comics, Bedrock City Comics, Collector’s Paradise, Borderlands Comics and Games, DCBS, and Atomic Empire.

The all-new Bad Idea Prestige Format limited series is co-written by blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad, creator and writer of the internationally acclaimed, box office dominating motion picture franchise John Wick, as well as the multi-award winning action-thriller Nobody and its upcoming sequel for Universal Studios, and New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti with visionary artist Tomás Giorello and ten-time Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart.

Millions of miles from home, hundreds of ships descend into the stormy atmosphere of a hostile frozen world. On board, an army of resolute men and women brace for the coming assault.

They are an invasion force, on an impossible mission — destroy the devastating enemy weapon garrisoned below. Corporal Scott and his battalion are in the vanguard but the human forces are no match for their brutal alien adversaries. Scott’s battalion is dead within moments. He is its lone survivor. The landing force annihilated, the battle is lost.

Against overwhelming odds, Scott dares the unthinkable — cross behind enemy lines, survive the lethal landscape, evade capture by ruthless enemies, resist natural predators, face human deserters and finish the mission singlehandedly. Locked in his suit of full combat battle armor, sustained only by what he can carry, and driven by Earth’s wrath, Scott must do by himself what an entire army could not.

Destroy the weapon.

Return home.
