BAD CAT: A new force in comic book publishing
On May 24, 2025, the comic book landscape welcomed a new contender at the Pasadena Comic Con—Bad Cat, a publishing company that aims to redefine the genre with bold storytelling and expansive multimedia vision. Founded by entertainment veteran David Jung, a former studio executive, writer, and director, Bad Cat is set to carve its niche by specializing in grand science fiction, fantasy, and horror concepts.
A MULTIMEDIA VISION
What sets Bad Cat apart from traditional comic publishers is its commitment to developing stories that extend far beyond the pages of comic books. Each title is conceived with a multimedia life in mind, targeting adaptations into television series, feature films, video games, and more. This innovative approach not only broadens the potential audience for each story but also invites fans to engage with the narratives in multiple formats.
THE KRAKEN: A MYTHOLOGICAL ADVENTURE
Bad Cat's inaugural series, "The Kraken," is a seven-issue limited storyline that dives deep into the rich mythology surrounding the legendary sea monster. Drawing inspiration from various cultural interpretations of the Kraken, this series promises to deliver a gripping narrative infused with suspense and adventure.
As of now, the first four issues are available for purchase, allowing readers to immerse themselves in this thrilling tale. The complete graphic novel, which will compile the entire storyline, is expected to be released by the end of the year, setting the stage for an even greater expansion of the Bad Cat universe.
FUTURE ENDEAVORS
Looking ahead, Bad Cat has ambitious plans to launch one to three new titles each year. This steady stream of new content demonstrates the company's dedication to innovation and storytelling, ensuring that fans will always have something fresh and exciting to explore.
David Jung's vision for Bad Cat not only reflects a passion for compelling narratives but also a strategic understanding of the entertainment industry's evolving landscape. By creating stories designed for multimedia adaptation, Bad Cat is positioning itself as a forward-thinking player in the comic book world.
As the company continues to grow and evolve, fans can expect a variety of genres and concepts that push the boundaries of traditional comics, all while maintaining a strong foundation in quality storytelling. With "The Kraken" already making waves, Bad Cat is poised to become a significant name in the comic book publishing industry.
