Zoop has launched a new campaign from writer Joey Esposito and artist Andrea Schiavone with SHITKICKERS.
When the cocky and entitled Dylan Jax joins the Cosmic Protection Bureau and is assigned to bullshit busywork alongside a grumpy alien vet, he’s forced to confront the reality that his great destiny was just a lie his mommy fed him, and that the organization he’s committed his life to isn’t as benevolent as it claims to be.
SHITKICKERS is a series that lives somewhere between the humor of the Jump Street films and the high-stakes action of Guardians of the Galaxy—with a little Starship Troopers for garnish.
But underneath the dick jokes and bad attitudes, this is a story about fighting against a system designed to oppress, even if it takes you a while to realize the side you should be fighting for isn’t the side you’re on. It’s about finding your place in the universe with a little help from your friends and the importance of chosen family. It’s about telling your past to fuck off so you can carve out your own future.
Joey Esposito, who has written Batman and Sesame Street, is best known for his latest Magma Comix series The Pedestrian (along with Sean Von Gorman). Andrea Schiavone is known for their work on Gangsters vs. Nazis. The pair is joined by Sabrina Filieri and Lucas Gattoni.
The Zoop campaign for the first two issues of SHITKICKERS features killer exclusive variant covers from Declan Shalvey and Seth Damoose.
