Batman: Bad Seeds – Sunset #1 San Diego Comic-Con 2026 Exclusive Ashcan Special Edition BN

Batman: Bad Seeds – Sunset #1 San Diego Comic-Con 2026 Exclusive Ashcan Special Edition is an official promotional comic book published by DC Comics. Distributed exclusively during San Diego Comic-Con 2026 (July 22–26, 2026), this highly sought-after ashcan serves as an advance preview for DC’s massive upcoming autumn Batman crossover event. 

Core Details & Event Setup

• The Creative Lineup: The opening chapter is orchestrated by high-profile event showrunners Matt Fraction and G. Willow Wilson, featuring moody interior and cover art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Cliff Rathburn.
• The Premise: The ashcan sets up a high-stakes "No Man's Land meets Jurassic Park" eco-horror storyline unfolding over one catastrophic, power-less night in Gotham. Pushed past her political breaking point, Gotham’s new Mayor, Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy), unleashes a desperate act of eco-terror that mutates the entire city into a hostile, prehistoric, carnivorous jungle. 
• The Convergence: While the Bat-Family fights to survive a city trying to literally digest them, Police Commissioner Vandal Savage deploys his private paramilitarized army to hunt the heroes down amid the chaos. 

Rarity & Retail Availability

The ashcan is highly limited, as it was only distributed to convention attendees at the DC booth and sent as a rare promo variant to select comic shops.
