Story

 
 
I am so thrilled that you’re checking out the crowdfunding campaign for my creator owned series ENGRAVED! 
This comic is an over the top chromium age action comic about Calvin Chase who is cursed with a disease that is slowly turning him into a monster.
This ZOOP crowdfunding campaign is to fund the printing and shipping of volumes one and two collecting the first six issues of this series. 
Each volume is 32 black and white pages with full color covers in standard comic size.
I need your help to hit goal so that these books can be sent to you! Jump in the campaign in the first 48 hours and you will be entered to win an awesome piece of original art!
I’ve got a bunch of great stretch goals planned, the higher we go… the more you get! 
So please help us hit goal, and share this link http://www.zoop.gg/c/engraved with anyone that is a fan of X-Files,  Hellblazer, Hitman, The Darkness, or Preacher. 
Thank you!

Bio


My name is Dylan Andrews. I am a comic-book artist, writer, designer, and independent publisher. I started reading comics when I was 5 years old, and I’ve always wanted to use my knowledge of art, design, and publishing to create my own comic books. I started Batlantic Studios to create a place where comics matter. I have done nine successfully funded Kickstarter campaigns for my comic-book series ARCHIVE: The WarHood Odyssey, The Oppressors, CYST: The Skin Grafter, and Versus. I am so happy to be part of Southern Maine’s vibrant community of comic-book creators. I love the over the top chromium-age ’90s comics from my youth. I want to bring back the excitement and energy I felt toward those comics, sharing that experience with a modern audience. Check out works in progress and get a peek behind the scenes at www.makecomicscool.com. Comics, art, and swag available at www.batlanticstore.com

Timeline

The books are finished and ready to ship upon the funding of the campaign. So estimated delivery of rewards would be late summer '22.

Frequently asked questions

Yes! We encourage you to get more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.

Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS

Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.

You can either access the transaction through your account and click the cancel button, or contact us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll cancel it for you and send back a confirmation email.

 

Cancellations of rewards or add-ons of $500 or more must be made before there are 72 hours left in the campaign. The reason for this is it can have a negative effect on the tally of the campaign. If it is a limited reward or add-on, there may not be sufficient time for someone else to purchase it, leaving the campaign possibly not funded. We ask for your courtesy of the people running the campaign when making these decisions.

Please use the notes section in the last checkout step or you could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.

If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.

Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.

Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.

No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it!  And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
