VeeFriends Comic Book #20 takes readers inside the mind of the world-famous athlete and celebrity Big Game Bandicoot, whose obsession with competition takes a darker turn when winning is no longer enough. Big Game Bandicoot is part celebrity profile, part mystery, and one dangerously competitive descent into obsession.
VeeFriends Comic Book #20 is the first issue to expand to a print run of 20,000 copies. It features a story by Gary Vaynerchuk, script by D.J. Coffman, art by Chris Fason, Cover A by D.J. Coffman, and Cover B by Gyula Németh.
Online breakers will LIVE DROP Comic Book #20 during the Break Zone Launch Day on September 14th starting at 12pm ET. VeeFriends’ break zone live show will begin that same day at 3pm ET!

Meet Big Game Bandicoot, A Driven Winner
Big Game Bandicoot has spent his life trying to prove he belongs on the biggest stage. Born into a wealthy family that never quite understood what made him tick, Big Game finds his identity in competition. He relentlessly pursues an athletic career, esports, and entrepreneurship. Whatever the arena, the formula remains the same: find the game, master the game, win the game… At all costs.
Cover A by D.J. Coffman
VeeFriends Executive Creator Director D.J. Coffman delivers Cover A for Comic Book #20, adding to his growing number of VeeFriends comic book covers that he’s drawn. D.J. is one of the foundational creative forces behind the VeeFriends comic book series, having helped shape the visual and narrative identity of VeeFriends comics.
Cover B by Gyula Németh
Comic Book #20 features a special Cover B by Gyula Németh, the Hungarian illustrator and comic-book artist whose dynamic style has become instantly recognizable to trading card collectors. Németh is the illustrator behind the original Panini Kaboom! trading card artwork, helping establish the explosive comic-book aesthetic that turned the insert into one of the hobby’s most recognizable modern chases. More recently, he brought that same energy to VeeFriends, illustrating the ultra-rare ERUPT! insert for Topps Chrome VeeFriends 2025 and returning to illustrate the ERUPT! insert for the 2026 collection.

Every copy of Comic Book #20 comes sealed inside a Collector’s Comic Pack, delivering a surprise reveal when you open it.
