Media Release -- PLANET DEATH #0 drops in just TWO WEEKS! Featuring a jaw-dropping wraparound gatefold triptych cover by the legendary JOE QUESADA.



On July 9th, PLANET DEATH #1 arrives with the first BAD IDEA variant cover line-up.

You asked for variants. We're doing them. And if we're gonna do them, we're gonna do big. PLANET DEATH#1 has the greatest variant cover line-up of any comic, from any publisher this year. Guaranteed!

Today, we're unveiling the superstar only roster of artists. Tomorrow, we unleash their stunning cover art.

WALT SIMONSON For PLANET DEATH

ESAD RIBIC For PLANET DEATH

LEINIL FRANCIS YU For PLANET DEATH

CHRIS BACHALO For PLANET DEATH

JAE LEE For PLANET DEATH

TOMÁS GIORELLO For PLANET DEATH

Alongside the breath-taking cover by interior artist Tomás Giorello (STAR WARS, CONAN) are covers by superstars Walt Simonson (THOR, FANTASTIC FOUR), Esad Ribic (SECRET WARS, THOR: GOD OF THUNDER), Leinil Francis Yu (ULTIMATE WOLVERINE VS HULK, SECRET INVASION), Chris Bachalo (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, BATMAN) and Jae Lee (BATMAN/SUPERMAN, INHUMANS)

That's right! Esad Ribic doing one of the very few non big two covers of his career (and it's stunning). Chris Bachalo doing only his third non big two cover ever (he went full Bachalo!). And we're not stopping there. Not only do we have an equally insane roster planned for every book in our slate, we've even got a few more surprises in store for PLANET DEATH #1. Watch for the first of those to be revealed next week!



PLANET DEATH is the epic all-new limited series from blockbuster screenwriter Derek Kolstad (JOHN WICK motion picture franchise), New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN '78, GREEN LANTERN), visionary artist Tomás Giorello (STAR WARS, CONAN), and ten-time Eisner Award-winning colorist, Dave Stewart (HELLBOY, STAR WARS), blasting into stores April 30th, with the must-read lead-in to this prestige format series -- PLANET DEATH #0.
PLANET DEATH has already made history with its sales-shattering premiere issue, PLANET DEATH #0, which sported a whopping print run of 909,650 copies.

PLANET DEATH #1 -- the explosive, planet-sized, 48-page first issue of the record-breaking series will debut in stores around the globe on July 9th.



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.
