Story

 

It is 1923. Nightclub singer and flapper Cleo has held on to her job longer than anyone for one not-so-simple reason: she can turn water into any kind of alcohol you can think of.

 

That's just the beginning of her powers, which are growing at a scary rate and for a good reason: a gangster is out to kill her!

 

She soon learns that she's just one of nine reincarnations of the same woman - and her killer reincarnates too! It will take everything she has to come out alive…

He's the New York Times bestselling writer of BOWIE: STARDUST, RAYGUNS & MOONAGE DAYDREAMS, which won two Eisner Awards, considered comics' highest honor. He's also the writer of SATELLITE FALLING, from IDW Publishing, which is in development for television, and AMALA'S BLADE, from Dark Horse Comics. Finally, he's the co-creator of HERE THERE BE DRAGONS on Webtoon. He hails from parts unknown with his family and three nosy cats.

 

 

Chris Peterson has been drawing and occasionally writing comics for the past 16 years. He has self-published off and on including anthologies, one-shots and limited series, one of which garnered a Shuster Award nomination. His recent works include MANTICORE, the GRINDHOUSE series from Dark Horse Comics, MAYDAY from Black Mask, BROKEN WORLD from Boom! Studios and various other projects from Image, Boom! and Dark Horse.

Stretch Goals

We're eager to make the comic looks as impressive as possible, so we'll start with this: if we reach $6,000 then the cover will be upgraded to have some Spot UV Gloss, which will really POP!

Timeline

As of the launch of the campaign, the book is still being completed. We anticipate it being done sometime in April '23 and then heading to the printers. Printing, manufacturing and shipping should take around three more months, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done by the end of Summer 2023.

 

The pandemic has shown that certain conditions are simply out of anybody’s hands. However, Zoop will always be here to communicate with backers should any delays occur, if there’s confusion about delivery, or if any other concerns pop up.

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!
