Oil & Water: The Art of Dave Dorman 2
by Dave Dorman
This gorgeous hardcover features a brand new mix of Dave Dorman’s classic work and newer material, including some recently finished Star Wars / Kylo Ren covers!
Ever wanted to own a Dave Dorman original? Here’s your chance, as some of the paintings featured in this book are available for purchase in the Add-Ons sectio
Dave Dorman is proud to offer the second in a series of high quality self-curated art collections (the first of which, Oil & Water: The Art of Dave Dorman Vol. 1) was successfully funded here on Zoop), featuring work from his over 40 years as a painter in the Fantastic Illustration field. The art will include both major and minor pieces from his vast involvement of many comics, toys, books, movies, and games projects including Star Wars, Aliens, Batman, Magic the Gathering, GI Joe, and many more — most shown here for the first time uncluttered by logos and uncropped. It will also include many unpublished personal pieces he has created for himself over the years.
Here’s a review by Cartoonist Kayfabe of OIL and WATER: ALIZARIN, a 48-page hardcover which Dorman published as an experiment. Suffice it to say, it did work as the last Zoop campaign and this new one attests. Some of its artwork, but not all, will be published in this new and much larger Oil & Water: The Art of Dave Dorman 2 hardcover.

Viva Reyn The Comic Book
by JC Barba
Viva Reyn #1 is finally here. This comic is the answer to all fighting comics and battle manga. From MMA to the supernatural. Showcasing Greco Roman Wrestling, to Brazilian Jiujitsu, along with Thai and American boxing.
Follow Reyn Fernandez Jr., Solar Puff, Rafael Jackson and an expanding cast of characters, as they gather themselves across the realm in order to make their public debut at the Underdome Grand Prix Tournament. They fight in the technology capital “Vegaluma.” The World will watch as they make a statement for all of mankind before the Lumaneers. And as most plans do, this world debut gets turned upside down when Reyn goes missing.
Viva Reyn may have first launched as a card game back in December of 2025 but the story has been in my heart for years. The intention was always to make an epic comic. Here we are finally launching issue #1 and the best is yet to come.

Fever Dream : A Cursed Comic Book by Becky Cloonan
FEVER DREAM is a brand new work that exists in the liminal space between an art book and graphic novel.
Fever Dream is a new art book from award winning cartoonist Becky Cloonan, featuring 120 pages of sequential work, sketches and illustrations from a graphic novel she gave up on halfway through. After making peace with failure, Cloonan reworked the pages into a conceptual artbook, offered here as a high-quality softcover alongside a sumptuous hardcover edition.
This book is for fans of the process, the raw, the dreamy and the chaotic. For anyone who’s ever rage quit a project, and anyone who is here for Vibes Only. And perhaps most importantly of all: for mature readers.
Equal parts mysterious and captivating, Fever Dream inhabits the liminal space between a sketchbook and a graphic novel. A mosaic made from discarded drawings, panels, and full comic pages, with a haunting story that stays just out of reach.
Fever Dream will come to exist in the form of two seperate book editions. The softcover version will be available in the campaign as an affordable way to access the material for all audiences. The hardcover edition will be hand signed, limited to the Kickstarter ONLY and will recieve any upgrades that may be achieved via stretch goals. The printing on the hardcover edition will strictly be limited to how many books backers pledge at those applicable tiers, plus a small allotment for shipping replacements. In short, the hardcover edition will NEVER be printed again and this campaign will be your only chance to get it!

Skelly and Ghost!
Dead friends are friends forever!
Now that that’s out of the way, who are Skelly and Ghost?!
They’re best pals, and they’re on a mission to find something very important. Something they lost a long time ago. Only, they can’t quite remember just what it is they’re looking for. Oh, and they’re not…exactly…alive.
But!
Their adventures are whimsical, thought-provoking, and dare we say, heartwarming. We hope you’ll join them on their search! You’ll meet new friends along the way, like our favorite dumpster-book-reading raccoon (whose name is Zeke); and you’ll reflect on things like the true meaning of Halloween and our place in the cosmos. No, really!
The book is already completed, and files are ready to be sent to the printer.

The Liquor Cabinet: A Graphic Novel
A comic book history of the world’s 5 most popular liquors
In 2014, Tom was pestered into making a comic about gin by a friend who insisted its history was fascinating. Tom just wanted to shut him up–instead, he discovered that his friend was right, it was fascinating, and that short comic kicked off a longer series, published between 2014 and 2019, diving into the history of each of the world’s most popular varieties of liquor.
Now, those comics are being collected for the first time in an updated paperback volume.
Wars. Political machinations. The triangular slave trade. A pickled corpse. Prohibition. Love. The history of liquor touches on all of these and more, providing stories, stats, and recipes in an entertaining, digestible comic book format.
What’s new in this edition?
We’re glad you asked! The Liquor Cabinet collects all of the fan-favorite mini comics in one sleek volume. Tom is in the process of redrawing the art from Madame Geneva, the chapter on Gin, to better match the comics that followed that first issue, as well as updating a handful of images from Nelson’s Blood, the chapter on Rum. The whole book has received additional editing passes to clarify language, fix typos, and apply a fresh coat of (non-literal) paint. The final book will have all the charm, humor, and history of the original hand-stapled mini-comics, with a little extra polish.

AWA’s YEAR ZERO Resurrected: The Hardcover Zomnibus Edition
Complete YEAR ZERO saga in a massive 400-page omnibus with a new story by Benjamin Percy and cover art by Frank Cho & Tim Bradstreet
YEAR ZERO: THE ZOMNIBUS EDITION IS ALIVE!
This new edition collects the complete acclaimed zombie saga in one massive 400-page hardcover omnibus, bringing together YEAR ZERO VOL. 1, YEAR ZERO VOL. 2, and the prequel YEAR ZERO VOL. 0 for the first time in a definitive collector’s edition.
Spanning continents, cultures, and the earliest days of a worldwide undead plague, YEAR ZERO is not just another zombie story — it is a global, cinematic horror epic about what happens when the world ends everywhere, all at once.
This special Kickstarter edition features original volumes by fan-favorite Benjamin Percy and 2026 Pulitzer Prize-winning author Daniel Kraus, with art by Ramon Rosanas, Juan José Ryp, and Goran Sudžuka, colors by Lee Loughridge, Frank Martin, and Miroslav Mrva. Across these volumes, YEAR ZERO follows survivors from all walks of life — soldiers, doctors, criminals, scientists, nurses, survivalists, families, and everyday people — as they confront the collapse of civilization and the impossible question at the heart of the apocalypse: what does humanity become when survival is all that’s left?
And because zombie stories never die, this Zomnibus Edition also includes a brand-new story from Benjamin Percy and Max Von Fafner that takes YEAR ZERO farther than ever before — into space. Set aboard the Eclipse Gate Space Station, this new chapter asks what happens when the people watching the end of the world from above realize there may be no safe distance from the dead.
Packed with premium extras, the Zomnibus Edition features Kickstarter-exclusive wraparound cover art by Frank Cho, slipcase art by Tim Bradstreet, and a gallery of all-new zombie pin-ups from an incredible lineup of comic book artists, including Gabriel Hardman, Ron Ackins, Jason Shawn Alexander, Patricia Martín, Tony Harris, Tommy Lee Edwards, ACO, Kieron Dwyer, Keron Grant, and Vince Locke.
Three volumes. One massive hardcover. A brand-new story. A killer lineup of creators.

AVALON #1
Avalon is a cyberpunk megacity-state without compare. Across its rooftops, two women find that the secret to immortality lies in death.
The year is 3164. The city of Avalon is a megacity-state without compare. Through centuries of conflict, humanity has leapt into a transhumanist age run by consumerism. Body modification is rampant, while the secret to immortality lies in breakthroughs in cloning consciousness. Epsy and Nico live a modest life working in the underworld of Avalon.
Nico is a Runner – a mercenary for hire who transports small, precious cargo from point A to point B. Epsy is Nico’s partner and facilitates her jobs. A seemingly normal run turns into chaos as the pair uncover secrets that will change the trajectory of humanity as we know it.
Avalon is a megacity-state on an unbelievable scale. The combination of what was once the United States and all of the European nations, Avalon is enormous. For centuries, surviving on Earth has meant humanity needed to build up. This results in the staggering vertical real estate we find in Avalon. Though the effects of climate change are not threatening to humans on a substantial level anymore, the planet still doesn’t love what we’ve done with the place. It rains, a lot.
