People can still pre-order a digital copy for as little as $15 on the Kickstarter page: http://kck.st/wjSM8D.

“Using Kickstarter for this project allows us as a company to bring our vision to life.” said Zenescope marketing manager Stephen Haberman. “It gives Joe and Ralph the ability to be directly involved in the process. Jon Schnepp is a brilliant director and now we’re able to make the series our fans want to see. It’s moving to see just how passionate they are and we’re lucky to have them.”

The digital comic rewards for the project will be distributed through leading digital distributor, ComiXology.com and their mobile applications, and the series will have a great voice cast which includes Lena Headey (Game of Thrones, 300), Briana Evigan (Devil’s Carnival), Tommy Blancha (China, IL) , Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick  and even MMA fighter Josh Barnett.  Some of the artists already attached include the legendary Bill Sienkiewicz (The New Mutants, Elektra: Assassin), Alex Pardee, Eric Powell, and Roman Dirge.  With this group of names alone, the series already boasts a team loaded with talent. Fans can see updates about this project as well as many others through Zenescope’s Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/zenescope.
