Story

 

If you're just encountering it now, Snow White Zombie Apocalypse (SWZA to the cool kids) is a comic series created by Brenton Lengel. The first issue, drawn by Dark Horse Comics alumnus & Ringo Award-nominated Inker Hyeondo Park and colored by Jio Butler, was published by Scout Comics to widespread audience and critical acclaim; was rated one of the top 50 indie comics of 2019; and was nominated for TWO 2020 Ringo Awards along with titles from comics industry greats like Stan Sakai, Mariko Tamaki, David Pepose, Coleen Doran, & Neil Gaiman!

 

The second, third, and fourth issues were drawn by Luana Vecchio (of Image Comics) Now, with the full series about to launch nationwide Brent, Hyeondo, and Luana are asking for your help to create a special edition of the series's FIRST PREQUEL ISSUE and bring Snow White Zombie Apocalypse to comic readers around the world!

 

There's plenty of zombie and fairytale media out there, but you have never seen anything like Snow White Zombie Apocalypse. This isn't just a survival/horror story - SWZA is an epic dark-fantasy romance that pulls as much from Bruce Lee and Neil Gaiman as it does from J.R.R. Tolkien and George A. Romero.

 

If you’re a fan of Fables, Sandman, The Walking Dead, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer you will fall in LOVE with Snow White Zombie Apocalypse.

 

You'll want to read (and back) this comic because this is a story unlike any other: Snow White awakens to True Love's Kiss...twenty-eight days after the zombie apocalypse! With the seven dwarves dead, the quintessential fairy tale princess must join forces with her polyamorous Prince Charming and his tough-as-nails paramour, Rapunzel, to wage a losing battle against death itself. SWZA is a story of deep woodsand old magic mixed with a healthy dollop of blood, sex, kung fu, and gender politics. Way more than zombies and fairy tales as usual!

Testimonials

"SNOW WHITE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE is one of those natural ideas that, as a writer, you smack yourself in the forehead and wonder why you didn't think of it yourself. Thankfully, we can all devour its tasty characters and delicious storytelling as readers."

Ron Marz (writer for Green LanternSilver SurferWitchblade, & Marvel vs. DC)

 

"S.W.Z.A. is one of the cool kids on the indie scene.  It's a fun, compelling blend of everything we loved growing up…fairy tales with magic and wizards, along with Sunday morning kung-fu, AND a mishmosh of monster movie moments.  It's survival horror and Hollywood romance.  The people who made this book love what they are doing and it shows on every page."

-Karl Moline (artist co/creator of Fray & Route 666)

 

"A brutal, bloody, and badass mashup of fairy tale magic and undead horror... if you like your comics with hyperkinetic action and pitch-black comedy, then look no further than SNOW WHITE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE."

Timeline

All comics are done, with the exception of the bonus material for the SWZA Graphic Novel, which is currently being drawn and should be completed before the end of the year. 

 

Even after successfully funding and fulfilling FIVE kickstarters, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, there are always unforeseen delays. However, I’m motivated to get this fulfilled as quickly as possible. Everyone always gets their rewards and I always make sure to throw in something extra for the ones that got seriously delayed. 

 

As for the production of the physical pages, all the art coloring and lettering for issues #0-#5 and the Graphic Novel are DONE (with the exception of the new never-before-seen SWZA stories that Ralf Singh and Kit Buss are currently working on.) 

 

The main risks and challenges (as always) will center around printing and distribution, which can cause slight delays depending upon contractors.Paper supply is also an issue, but one I’ve been able to work with.


All we need to do now print, and ship SWZA #0 to you while we finish Vol. 1 and issues #5 & #6!


Bottom line: I will move heaven and earth to make sure you have the book as soon as is humanly possible!

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!
