In a notable shift within the comic book landscape, Bad Idea Comics has rebranded the title originally known as Habitat to The Hub, reflecting a fresh approach as it gears up for its release in April 2026. This change is particularly significant for collectors and fans alike, as it denotes a period of evolution and anticipation within the comic book market.
Previously slated for a December 2025 release, The Hub #1 has now been rescheduled for April 8, 2026. The decision to rename the book could be influenced by various factors, such as the existing title’s potential confusion with Simon Roy’s Habitat comic from Image Comics or simply a desire for a catchier moniker in an increasingly competitive market. Whatever the reason, the change serves as a strategic move to reinvigorate interest among prospective readers and collectors.

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.
In addition to The Hub #1, Bad Idea Comics is releasing several other titles in December 2025, including Save Now #0, Ordained #2, They’re All Terrible #3, Survive #4, and Cul-De-Sac #5, all promising intriguing narratives that may appeal to collectors looking to diversify their portfolios.
