THROUGHOUT THE COSMOS there is a term, a combination of two simple words, spoken in over 40 million dialects which bring fear to countless living species. It is a phrase of warning, of dread, of imminent and ancient destruction. Entire civilizations have fallen under the label and disappeared from existence like a wisp of smoke on the solar wind. Now Earth itself has been designated by these two deadly words and we can only pray for a quick and painless end to everything we have ever known. Welcome to Earth . . . The next BAD PLANET.

The world of Bad Planet is the brainchild of Thomas Jane, spewed forth from a particularly vivid nightmare. Add a dose of Steve Niles, the art direction and inking talents of Tim Bradstreet, and a full serving of concept artist/penciler James Daly... And what you wind up with is a modern classic in the making.

Collected in Bad Planet.

Continues as volume II, Bad Planet: Apocrypha.
