SEE THE WORLD’S FIRST KNIFE COMIC CUT THROUGH A STEAK!

On September 16th, an all new horror action blockbuster is busting down the doors of a comic shop near you with LANCER #1!

Dangerous comics call for dangerous covers. Which is why BAD IDEA is unveiling a first in comic book cover technology -- LANCER: KNIFE EDITION -- an ACTUAL KNIFE that doubles as a comic book.

Smuggled through airport security and debuted live onstage during BAD IDEA: The San Diego Comic-Con Panel, LANCER: KNIFE EDITION is forged from an ultra-tough stainless steel and sports a curved, razor sharp blade edge.

We promised LANCER: KNIFE EDITION could cut through a steak...and we deliver. Watch the video above to see the stainless steel prototype slice through a slab of meat like butter!
