Eisner Award Winner Marco Lopez has worked on projects with Lion Forge, including co-creating and bringing them the graphic novel Puerto Rico Strong, which he also contributed a supernatural story for. Puerto Rico Strong sold out of a first print run, went into a second printing, and won Marco and his fellow editors an Eisner award. He then worked with Chido Comics to co-create and write the hit Masked Republic Luchaverse, a series of sci-fi and horror comics starring famous Mexican wrestlers. He's also developing various animation projects with Lion Forge animation for film and television.
Rachel Distler is an exciting new artist who has worked on short stories and mini comics with an incredible knack for thrilling and compelling sequential storytelling and a beautiful art style readers and comics fans will fall in love with.
All of the these original pages are available for sale in the Add-Ons section above
Upon a successful campaign, we plan to finish up this first volume, which should take a few months, and then head to the printers sometime Spring 2022, after which we'd start shipping the rewards out in Summer 2022. Rest assured we'll keep you updated all along the way on how that's all progressing!
Hey fellow Nightcrawlers! I just wanted to let you all know that we're still working our butts off getting this awesome graphic novel finished. And today, we wanted to show off some more pages. We're giving you a look at pages 6-8. This book is going to be a blast! We can't wait to show you more, but we have to get back to work. We'll have our next update and more pages to show off (including pages from our new colorist) in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to show you those pages and the colors. They're going to knock your socks off! Talk to you soon.

Hey Fellow Nightcrawlers,
Sorry for running so late on this update, but we've been working day and night on this graphic novel and fighting that which goes bump in the night. But until our next one, here are some killer new character designs by Rachel. Hope you enjoy them, and our next update should include some new pages. Talk to you soon, fellow Nightcrawlers!
Charged everyone's credit cards today. If you noticed that yours didn't process, maybe contact your bank and have them approve the charge. Or, if you need to change the card info, you can do that and then notify us to try again. Thanks!
Got a ton of new traffic today, resulting in us blasting past the funding goal! THANK YOU to all of you that made this project become a reality! We've still got another day left, so let's keep piling it on and finish even stronger tomorrow!
Special Announcement: for Black Friday we're slashing prices on original art. You can save $50 on each original page, as well as the original art to the treehouse schematics poster, in the Add-Ons section!
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.
We use Stripe for checkout because it is VERY secure. They exceed industry security standards and are trusted by thousands of companies, including Amazon, Lyft, Slack, Shopify, and Airbnb, who use Stripe's software tools to accept payments. Their interface is pre-made by them and we don't have the ability to augment it in any way. Once there, you have 15 minutes to complete the transaction by hitting the 'SAVE CARD' button.
Please e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll get right back to you!
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
