Jusko fans and indie comics lovers: the clock is ticking.
There are only 24 hours left to back Negative Burn on Zoop.
This relaunch brings together an absolutely incredible lineup of creators like Joe Jusko, Mike Allred, Ron Marz, Marguerite Bennett, Francesco Francavilla, Joe Linsner, Paul Pope, Dan Panosian, and so many more! But you’ve only got 24 hours to see what this rockstar list of creators has been up to!
For Book of Jusko backers, there’s something especially exciting inside the campaign: a Joe Jusko cover and a special Jusko sketchbook feature that dives deeper into the art and process of one of comics’ most celebrated painters. It’s the perfect companion piece to The Book of Jusko.
The campaign has something for every kind of collector and reader. You can jump in with a digital PDF, grab beautiful print editions, or go all the way up to luxurious limited metal covers and even original art by Jessica Jones co-creator Michael Gaydos.
There are also truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunities available through the campaign, including add-ons that let you be drawn into the book and even receive mentorship from Eisner Award winner Joe Pruett.
This is the ground floor of what we hope will be a major new chapter for Negative Burn and the continued legacy of Desperado Books.
24 hours. That’s all the time left to claim your piece of this historic relaunch.

And thank you all for the continued support, both for The Book of Jusko and for the exciting return of Desperado Books!

A Quick Update!

First, a huge thank you to our incredible backers. Because of your support (and sharp eyes), we realized we forgot to include the link to our short video in a previous update!
You can watch it here: https://youtube.com/shorts/HqUqrkcKhu4
We also wanted to share an update on fulfillment. Our amazing fulfillment team has been hard at work testing the custom mailers that will protect your books. They conducted drop tests in the warehouse to make sure the packaging can withstand long-distance and international shipping.
As a result, we’ve increased the size of the cardboard bumpers to make the book even more secure while in transit. These mailers are built to protect your copy every step of the way.
Finally, surveys will be going out next week at the latest, so keep an eye on your inbox.
Thank you again for your support. We can’t wait to get Book of Jusko into your hands!
