by Thomas Huls

The partnership between Kingsville and AGS is over. AGS continues to gain more power and Kingsville is not willing to supply more Sycodone. Is war next?

#The Story

Kingsville is a small island nation north of the largest continent of Valtoria. They are a mining nation that has found a unique mineral called Sycodone. A non-profit called the Alliance of Global Safety (AGS) was formed by Dr. Derickson meant to bring nations together to help form free trade, better living, and safer communities.

Kingsville sold this mineral to AGS and with their technology have found that it contains properties that supply superhuman abilities. Now they want more of it but Kingsville is worried as about the power they are gaining by having a superhero team. AGS now promises each nation that joins them their own superhuman to help in that country. This could lead to war.

Your support will help us complete issue 3 of this 4 part mini series. Providing new stories is crucial in comics books and having a hispanic lead in a comic book is important. This story not only follows Kingsville and their fear of a growing superpower in AGS, but also follows Rodrigo as he balances his duties as one of the lead scientist at AGS and the moral dilemma he finds himself in as he begins to notice some of the evil AGS is doing with this new superhuman team that AGS has developed what was thought to be for good.

#Budget

45% of the funding goes directly to the artist, Dan Zay. He does the Penciling, inking, and Colors for Kingsville.

10% for shipping

35% for printing

The rest is platform cost and rewards. Anything left goes to the next issue.

Anything above the $3000 will go immediately to the last issue in this arc, issue 4 of Kingsville.

Like most independent comic book creators, we do not make profit on crowdfunding. In my first 2 issues I helped to fund the comic out of my own funds. This is a passion and love for comics. Independent creators make profit going to comic cons and selling directly to fans. The goal is to be able to build a self sustaining story line and issue 3 and your support is a great step toward that.

#Timeline

We have all 3 covers completed and the first 10 pages penciled, inked, and colored. We only need to add lettering and finish the last 14 pages. Once funded we will be able to complete in 60 days and be ready to ship by Dec 1st.

While there are always risks in crowdfunding, this is not our first time. We have had 2 previous successful crowdfunding campaigns so this is not our first. Constant communication is crucial, making every backer feel comfortable supporting Kingsville.

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!
