Momentum continues for Crusade Comics’ latest crowdfunding project, Zombie-Sama: Dorm of the Dead’s first week, as both Indiegogo and Kickstarter Exclusive campaigns exceeds $30,000.00 in total returns. “Thanks to our amazing backers, we’ve just announced our first Stretch Goal Reward.” Stated Crusade’s publisher, Billy Tucci. “And we’re happy to offer all of our partners a Free digital edition of Zombie-Sama!”.
The original, Zombie-Sama! is co-creators John Broglia and Tucci’s very first foray into comic book crowdfunding campaign. The full-color, 56-page graphic novel was limited to backers from 2019 and has not been available since… until now.
Crusade has found great success with its #nofanleftbehind campaign strategy that reaches beyond the traditional crowdfunding route by offering editions that are exclusive to both Indiegogo and Kickstarter. Because of this, fans of both platforms mutually benefit in the shared Stretch Goals.
