Crowdfunding Corner: Zip #2: A Grungy Superhuman Comic

Backer Beware: Crowdfunding projects are not guaranteed to be delivered and/or delivered when promised. We always recommend to do your research before backing

Following the first issue reaching 110% funding, the Kickstarter campaign for Zip #2: A Grungy Superhuman Comic has launched. The comic is written by Mike Scrase, with art by San Espina, and lettering by Ferran Delgado. Artists for variant covers are anticipated be announced throughout the campaign. Set in Bristol, it follows Zip, a superhuman whose flawed superpowers are an analogy for disability, especially neurodivergence.

The second issue explores a strange and dangerous quirk of Zip’s powers that she has struggled with since childhood: a release of high energy generated by her body’s speed, which makes her touch explosive in stressful situations.

But Zip’s control over her powers are challenged when she clashes with a kidnapper out to settle an old score. The stories about him say he’s so skilled in the martial arts that there is no attack he cannot evade and no technique he cannot counter. They call him: Mr Untouchable.

But are Zip and this deadly stranger more alike than they think? Zip #2: A Grungy Superhuman Comic has the answers!

Responding to feedback about the first campaign, Scrase has made an acknowledgement in the comic’s credits available to everyone who pledges to the campaign with a reward tier. He has also expanded the countries the print version of the comic will be available in to all European countries which Kickstarter supports delivery options for.

Backers who missed the first issue are able to pick it up in digital or digital and print format using one of the campaign’s bundle tiers.

There is also new reward options, including the chance to get a Zip sticker pack and poster with your pledge.

The campaign ends on Thursday, November 23 2023 3:00 PM EST.
