Get Drawn & Killed in a Comic

Your likeness will be illustrated in a future Panick comic story, where you’ll be horribly slain

#The Books

PANICK Entertainment was founded by a team of comic industry veterans, including Kris Longo (Heavy Metal, DC Comics), Adam Schlagman (DC Comics), Mark McCann (Never Never, 2000 AD), Doug Pasko (THE OUTPOST) and C. Christopher Chiang (DC Comics).

These Zoop exclusive #1 covers connect into a dynamic triptych, magnificently illustrated by Shane Pierce.

T.A.M.A. #1

Imagine the pint-sized horror of Don Mancini’s CHILD’S PLAY meets the multi-generational phenomenon of POKEMON - Meet the virtual pet that’s gotta kill ‘em all!

When neglected Teen Kit discovers a defunct virtual pet system, he finds the companionship he desperately seeks. But when mysterious and gruesome deaths begin to pile up all around, Kit wonders if his ‘new friend’ could be the “virtual” common denominator.

How far is Kit willing to go to feel loved? And how many people have to die before Kit understands the cost of an AI friend who will do ANYTHING to receive that love back in return?!

Writers: Adam Schlagman (Executive Producer SHAZAM!, BLACK ADAM / writer Flashpoint: Hal Jordan, Batman: Brave & the Bold); Doug Pasko (Executive producer THE OUTPOST, MYTHICA 1-5)

Pencils & Inks: Daniel HDR (Masters of the Universe, Injustice: Gods Among Us, X-Men Forever)

Colors: to come

Letters: Patrick Brosseau

ZOOP Cover: Shane Pierce (Heavy Metal, Vikings)

SAVAGER #1

Mad Max meets HP Lovecraft in the ultimate post-apocalyptic survival horror!

Fifty years post-invasion - Earth is a dead world - all organic life consumed by voracious cosmic parasites. Inhabiting barely recognisable husks of earth's former lifeforms, these remnants fight for dominance in a horrific post-apocalypse.

Riley Philps is the Savager - once a human warrior, now an infected shell - at war with the parasite within him. When Savager discovers the last living humans, he must battle his personal monster and face the harrows of his past if he’s to save their future from the deadly creatures on their trail. Protecting the last of a ‘presumed extinct’ humanity from a new and permanent extinction!

Writers: Shannon Eric Denton (Monster Forge Productions, Kingdom Riders); Dirk Blackman (UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS, OUTLANDER)

Pencils & Inks: Kewber Baal (Elvira, KISS, James Bond, Vampirella)

Colors: to come

Letters: Sal Cipriano

ZOOP Cover: Shane Pierce (Heavy Metal, Vikings)

BLACK DIAMOND #1

A horrifying nordic thriller that’s equal parts Hitchcock and THE WICKER MAN.

When a family ski trip to Norway devolves into the cult kidnapping of their son - Owen and Victoria Howard will do anything to get him back, even if it means compromising everything they believe in. Tasked by the cult to find a replacement sacrifice, the Howards must breach their morals and their sanity to steal another child. With an impending deadline and their son's life in the balance - the law closing and time running out, how far will the Howard’s go to save their son? And who will they have to kill to do it?

Writer: Brendan Columbus (Savage Circus, Heavy Metal)

Pencils & Inks: Danilo Beyruth (Venom, Carnage, Ghost Rider, Deadpool)

Colors: to come

Letters: Saida Temafonte (DCeased)

ZOOP Cover: Shane Pierce (Heavy Metal, Vikings)

#Stretch Goals

$5,000 - Everyone who purchased a physical comic bundle will now also receive a digital comic bundle of the first issues of T.A.M.A., SAVAGER, and BLACK DIAMOND. It’s our way of saying thank you for helping us push past this halfway-mark milestone and sharing this journey with us.

$10,000 - We'll add a “thank you” page featuring the names of all supporters of physical product tiers in every comic

$15,000 - You’ll get 8 pages of extra murder…err, extra matter. Concept art, sketches, and interviews will be appearing in the back of all three comics!

#Timeline

The first issues are currently being created and we expect them to be ready to go to print shortly after the end of the campaign. Printing and shipping will take a few months, so fulfillment of primary rewards is expected to occur in April 2025. *Note: certain rewards such as being drawn and killed in a comic may take longer to fulfill.

Zoop will keep supporters updated throughout the printing and fulfillment process.

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!
