EPIC 104-PAGE ZOMBIE-SAMA: DORM OF THE DEAD HAS LAUNCHED AND CLOSES IN ON GOAL ON FIRST DAY! 

Crusade Comics’ sixth Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, Zombie-Sama: Dorm of the Dead launched this past weekend and already nears its flexible $15,000.00 funding goal. 2019’s Zombie-Sama was co-creators Billy Tucci and John Broglia’s very first foray into crowdfunding and in just 24 hours Dorm of the Dead has already topped one-third of the original campaign’s seven-month total returns.

“Everyone on #TeamZS has been working so hard these past few months, (in John Broglia’s case, YEARS), to bring you the most entertaining and thought provoking post-apocalyptic, comic book blood-fest ever.” Stated Tucci. “We want to thank all our backers who came out and supported our “little zombie book that could”.

All 104 pages of art and lettering are complete for Dorm of the Dead as are most of the colors. Final colors are scheduled for March 15^th, and Zombie-Sama will immediately go to press for production. Campaign and fulfillment will be lightning quick and the Indiegogo “indemand” stage will be short as Crusade prepares to launch the massive Shi: Senryaku Omnibus in May 2023.

In addition to Broglia’s Indiegogo Exclusive, Crusade Comics is offering stunning limited-edition variant covers by guest superstar artists, Irene Strychalski (Fiendish) and Dan Mendoza (Zombie Tramp).
