"Our destiny is the stars, and I will lead us there." Twenty years after this promise, billionaire Langford Skaargard's dream of cosmic exploration is no more. Roche Limit, a colony situated on the cusp of a mysterious energy anomaly, is a melting pot of crime and terrible secrets. When Bekkah Hudson goes missing, the search to find her will plunge her sister and a cadre of the colony's underworld figures into an odyssey that reveals a grim future for mankind.
It's like Blade Runner meets Aliens meets 2001, and it has been hailed as one of the best sci-fi comics ever by Paste Magazine. Roche Limit is finally collected here in one hardcover edition, with a brand-new introduction and extra material from writer Michael Moreci. Back this campaign and return to the sci-fi classic, or discover it for the first time!

Hi, I’m Michael Moreci. Thank you for visiting the Roche Limit funding page!
Roche Limit #1 came out ten years ago through Image Comics, and it helped define my career. It was a considerable success - the first volume (Anomalous) launched two sequels, Clandestiny and Monadic.
For years, I’ve wanted to collect the entire Roche Limit story into one place, and it’s happening at last. Now only is it being published in one volume, but it’s going to be a deluxe hardcover that’s going to truly be something special.
If you don’t know Roche Limit, I’ll put it as simply as possible–even though the story is anything but. Spanning three volumes, all of which take place years apart from each other, Roche Limit is an exploration of existence, faith, and our place in the universe. A Roche Limit is a real thing–it’s the point in which things get pulled apart. And that’s what this story examines: Humans on a distant colony, being pulled apart. It’s a mystery, it’s an action/adventure, it’s a sci-fi story in the spirit of Blade Runner, Bradbury, and 2001.
Back this project today - take your destiny to the limit.
Michael Moreci is a screenwriter and bestselling comics author. His award-winning debut feature film, Revealer, premiered on Shudder in the summer of 2022. His second feature, Holiday Hold-Up, a crime comedy that Moreci co-directed/wrote, was released in 2024, and he also served as a writer on the SyFy series Revival.
In the comics space, Moreci is the creator of the acclaimed gothic horror series The Plot, the werewolf drama Curse, the existential space opera Wasted Space, and the smash-hit sword-and-sorcery series Barbaric,. He’s also written for numerous legendary characters and properties, including Star Wars, Rick and Morty, Batman, Stranger Things, and more, and he co-hosts The Filmographers Podcast.

The book is complete, and when the campaign ends the files will be ready to go to print within 1 month..
Printing and shipping should take around three months from that point, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done around December '25 or January '26.
Zoop will always be here to communicate with supporters should any delays occur, if there’s confusion about delivery, or if any other concerns pop up.
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!
