Something wicked this way comes… For the first time since 2019, the team behind the hit series CANTO reunites for something new and decidedly more sinister. Join Eisner-nominated writer David M. Booher and fan-favorite artist Drew Zucker, along with CANTO colorist Vittorio Astone and letterer AndWorld Design, for a twisted new one-shot horror story that you’ll have to read to believe.
Nolan Ward has tried everything to outrun it, but it's finally caught up to him. And it’s hungry…
“According to the Bible, God created the heavens and the Earth. It is man’s prerogative—and woman’s—to create their own particular and private hell.” — Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone, “Night Call”
"The Feeding is a painterly nightmare that put me in the same head space as watching a classic 'Twilight Zone' episode. It will fill you up." — Ron Marz

That’s right. If we hit $10k, all backers will get a serialized CANTO ashcan preview of the new Canto story coming in 2024. Plus this preview publishes—for the very first time—the original Canto pitch. A very cool memento for all you CANTO fans out there.
The team that brought you CANTO has put together a darker tale of a tortured man who’s been haunted all his life by a painting that eats people… and it’s hungry.
THE FEEDING is a twisted new one-shot horror story that you’ll have to read to believe. For the first time since 2019, Eisner-nominated writer David M. Booher (RAIN, KILLER QUEENS) and fan-favorite artist Drew Zucker (THE HOUSE) have teamed up with CANTO colorist Vittorio Astone and letterer AndWorld Design once more for new story that’s decidedly more sinister!
Investment banker Nolan Ward is on top of the world–wealthy, fit, attractive, and available. Yet, his drug-fueled partying masks a darker past. When he meets a mysterious art gallery owner, he’ll come face-to-face with the ghost that has haunted him all his life. It’s a painting called The Feeding. It has returned… and it’s ready for its next meal.
“Drew and I have talked almost daily for four years while making CANTO,” said David M. Booher. “We’ve always batted around ideas for other stories, especially horror, since we're both horror hounds. When we landed on the concept behind THE FEEDING, we knew it was the one. Eerie and disturbing in the best possible way, this is our love letter to CREEPSHOW, TWILIGHT ZONE, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, and all the horror stories that keep us up at night.”
“David and I have always been big horror fans,” said Drew Zucker. “It's a genre that we both have a strong draw to, and before CANTO did work in. When the opportunity came along to do THE FEEDING, it was a chance to not only take a story that started as an actual nightmare for me, but pull in the entire CANTO team and see what we could do together. The end result has been exciting, being able to take all of these lessons from the last few years and apply them into a brand new horror story.”
The Zoop campaign is unique—it will be the only way to get these exclusive variant covers. Copies will be limited to Zoop supporters, and once the campaign is over, the covers will be retired and never reprinted!
For fans of horror series WYTCHES, SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN, and HARROW COUNTY.
What a way to kick off spooky season!

The comic is completely finished and the only thing left to do is format the files for the printer. We expect it to be ready to start printing a month after the campaign is over. Printing and shipping should take around two more months, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done in February 2024.
Zoop will 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!
