The Industry-Defining Anthology Returns After Nearly Two Decades
Desperado Books and series curator Joe Pruett are proud to announce the long-anticipated return of the Eisner, Harvey, Gem, and Eagle Award nominated Negative Burn on the Zoop crowdfunding platform. The groundbreaking comic anthology carved its legacy by refusing to be defined by genre, expectation, or convention. First launched in 1993, Negative Burn became a creative proving ground where legends and emerging voices collided: an experimental, creator-driven laboratory that challenged norms and pushed the medium forward.
This all-new edition continues that legacy with a powerhouse roster including Mike Allred, Marguerite Bennett, Brian Bolland, Mike Carey, J.M. DeMatteis, Francesco Francavilla, Phil Hester, Joe Jusko, Sam Kieth, Joe Linsner, Ron Marz, Peter Milligan, Steve Niles, Dan Panosian, Paul Pope, Joe Pruett, James Robinson, Declan Shalvey, Dalibor Talajic, and others.
Preserving the anthology’s core philosophy: limitless creativity and zero boundaries, the revival features original, never-before-seen stories created exclusively for this edition. For collectors, the campaign will also offer extremely limited, premium metal variant editions, and other surprises available exclusively through Zoop.
“I have always said that NEGATIVE BURN made my career,” says Pruett. “I have a lot of my love for this title, as do so many of the creators involved, and I am confident that this will be the best volume of this series ever produced. And, that’s saying a lot from a multiple Eisner Award nominated series. I’m excited for you to see this book. It’s going to be great!”
Negative Burn is back and ready to demolish expectations and defy genre.
The scheduled launch date for the campaign is currently Tuesday, 12/30.
