The indie crime series comes back from the dead to finish what it started ten years ago! Identical twin orphans, Jack and John James return to the southern highways to wrap up unfinished business: hunt down and kill the bikers that butchered their parents fifteen years earlier!
Starting with a massacre of unsavories at the Sunshine Diner in Kentucky the boys rip-roar their Dodge Challenger through mechanics’ garages, death-cults, drug-dens all the way to prison in Louisiana. But doing hard time was always part of the plan. If they can survive state police from the past and present, and a tricky lady who seems to want to help, brotherly spats and good-old-fashioned violent bikers, they may get their revenge and come out of it alive. The real question is, will their relationship withstand the truth of what got their parents killed in the first place?
At its beating heart, THE BROTHERS JAMES is about family, loyalty and sacrifice. Alongside that come furious car crashes, grindhouse violence, classic rock and roll, and a few road-beers to wash it all down. Rowdy, fast-paced and in glorious black and white, THE BROTHERS JAMES shows two brothers hanging on with white knuckles as they speed toward oblivion and try to take every offending member of the murderous LUCKY DEVILS with them. But it can’t all be pedal to the metal, now can it?
Between twists, turns, and double crosses. Women with secret motives, blood cults and cops that can’t be trusted, THE BROTHERS JAMES, keeps your butt in the seat and your head spinning ‘til the bitter end.
With y’alls contribution, we can send JACK and JOHN to the printer for their final ride!
Preview pages of the brand new The Brothers James #5:
BRIAN LEVEL - Cartoonist, Writer, Tattooer
(Batman/Fables, Absolute Carnage, Chained to the Grave)
“This project put me on the map as a comic book artist. It was an early work where I first got to exercise my artistic voice, both as a cartoonist and a writer, and as an unfinished work, it made perfect sense to update the issues and tie it all up with love and care for everyone that supported us all those years ago. I’m forever grateful to The Brothers James and Ryan for bringing me along. It’s been a massively important book for my life both professionally and personally.”
RYAN FERRIER - Writer, Letterer
(D4VE, Sons of Anarchy, Narcos)
“The Brothers James concluding, after so long, means a lot to me because at the time it was a start. It was made with joy and fearlessness; grit wrapped in determination, wrapped in hope, wrapped in blissfully unaware gumption—all lovely things a want-to-be creator clutches; even one with blood, guts, bullets, twisted metal, and southern fried revenge. Above all else, this comic represents what I'm most grateful for, looking back: an indelible friendship--a brotherhood and love--that will outlive and outshine any body of work or printed page. For readers, I just hope they have fun.”
EAMON HILL - Cartoonist, Tattooer
(Arcana, Roadkill Rampage)
“Being afforded the opportunity to get down in the dirt with the James boys is a true treat. With the abundance of capes and mask books out there, the purity of a gritty revenge tale is something I find incredibly fulfilling.”
"To everyone that believed in us way back when, thank you! We hope this finale satisfies you. You deserve it. We wouldn’t be the creators we are today without you all."
We're putting the finishing touches on the comics and TPB, so we should be going to print shortly after funding. We estimate the whole process to get everything printed, shipped to our fulfillment partner and sent out to all supporters to be about 3 months.
So estimated delivery is February 2022 - and we'll keep you updated all along the way!
UPDATED delivery date: October 2022
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!
