IN THE YEAR 2002, STRANGE COLOSSAL BEASTS KNOWN AS KAIJU BEGAN EMERGING ACROSS THE GLOBE. OVER THE FOLLOWING DECADES, THEIR ORIGIN REMAINED A MYSTERY WHILE THEIR NUMBERS CONTINUED TO GROW. THE WORLD’S NATIONS ATTEMPTED TO EXTERMINATE THESE CREATURES, UTILIZING CUTTING EDGE GENETIC RESEARCH, ROBOTIC WEAPONS TECHNOLOGY AND GOOD OLD FASHIONED ATOMIC BOMBS.
MOST OF THESE EFFORTS WERE SPECTACULAR FAILURES.
The STOMPED: DELUXE ANTHOLOGY collects every story from the self-published 4 issue miniseries, re-arranged to in-universe chronology for a more immersive reading experience, PLUS two brand new stories! Featuring art from an international team of creators, with eclectic stories ranging from sci-fi action horror to darkly comic slice of life, this is the ultimate comic anthology for all fans of giant monsters.
Here's the art for the first 3 pages of the new story, "As The Worm Turns." What goes in, must come out! Hope these pages perk your interest in the curious effects of growing produce in kaiju manure. And yes, this new kaiju does continue to crawl along the bottom of all 12 pages of the story.
And here are some pages from issues #1-4:
The simple answer to that is Zoop reached out to me directly asking if I was interested in releasing my next project through them. Whereas Kickstarter leaves everything up to the creator, from creating the campaign page through shipping rewards, the team at Zoop take a more collaborative approach. They’ve released some amazing books, so I was honored to have this opportunity. I think Zoop will help me produce a stronger final product, with more streamlined production & fulfillment, allowing me introduce Stomped to a wider readership.
Ross Radke has been drawing monsters and superheroes since he was old enough to grip a crayon. After receiving a BA in Film, he abandoned his dreams of directing blockbuster movies in order to pursue the even more glamorous life of a comic book writer and artist. Since 2020, he has successfully self published 4 double sized issues of the kaiju anthology series STOMPED, drawn the lucha libre graphic novel MILAGRO, dabbled in the superhero genre with his WebToon Canvas series SPANDEX and most recently introduced the world to hybrid bounty hunter BILL THE PLATYPUS. Based in Portland, Stomped is his first major comics work and first time editing an anthology. He’s been fortunate to work with some amazing collaborators:

TBD - Kaiju Size Chart art print
The majority of the book is completely finished. There are 18 pages of brand new sequential art that is in the process of being drawn, colored & lettered. After those pages are done there will be some final design & editorial work to ensure this is the best looking collection we can offer before we send it to the printer.
New art should be finished hopefully within two months of campaign ending, and the files should be ready to go to the printer at that point.
Printing and shipping should take around three months from that point, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done around July 2025.
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!
