At BOOM! Studios, we're passionate about helping longtime fans and new readers discover the characters, action, and emotion that make comics the greatest storytelling medium in the world.

ABOUT BOOM! DIRECT RESERVE
At BOOM! Studios, we're passionate about helping longtime fans and new readers discover the characters, action, and emotion that make comics the greatest storytelling medium in the world.
We first entered Kickstarter in 2020 with BRZRKR – the #1 best-selling comic book series by creator/writer Keanu Reeves, co-writer Matt Kindt, and artist Ron Garney – with a record-setting campaign that redefined the metric of success for direct-to-consumer comic books and graphic novels. Since then we’ve run 11 successful direct-to-consumer campaigns on Kickstarter, and after working with BackerKit’s Launch, Marketing, and Pledge Manager we’re thrilled to launch our first campaign on BackerKit!
In doing so, we discovered something special: these campaigns are the ideal way to connect with fans discovering the magic of comic books for the first time, and to launch our most ambitious, limited-edition projects ever.Â
Enter: BOOM! Direct Reserve – our ongoing initiative designed to connect fans of our most celebrated franchises with comic books and graphic novels, including super-premium, specialty versions, and deliver them straight to your doorstep.
Every title we offer under the BOOM! Direct Reserve program will be made available in a standard format through comic shops and bookstores, but fan-fueled campaigns like this one are the only place to get the high-end, hyper-rare upgrades, exclusives, and extras truly worthy of top-shelf treatment.

Comic book stores are and will always be the lifeblood of the comic book industry. While the BOOM!

Studios will happily work with any comic shop or independent bookstore retailer who wishes to carry them for their store. Interested retailers can contact us directly at [email protected] to inquire about wholesale purchases.

SHIPPING & FULFILLMENT
After the campaign ends, your shipping will be calculated based on your reward(s) and shipping address. Shipping fees are not included in the reward costs listed on the campaign page. Rather, all shipping will be charged after the campaign ends through BackerKit.Â
This campaign will be fulfilled in two distinct waves. The first wave will include the first six comic book issues along with the 20th Anniversary print and metal poster. The second wave will include the remaining comic book issues, all of the collected editions, collectible metal boxes, remarqued sketch cover in the Elite Level, challenge coin, any add-on items, and any unlocked Stretch Goals.Â
We currently estimate that the first wave of THE AMORY WARS: NO WORLD FOR TOMORROW campaign will ship in December 2024 followed by the second wave in December 2025.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: While we partner with our fulfillment partners to minimize shipping costs in a number of ways, including utilizing overseas drop ship locations for our international customers, freight costs continue to fluctuate and rise due to numerous external factors. Please be sure to take the additional shipping costs into account when making the decision that is best for you.
Furthermore, should the number of individual items in your order necessitate it, BOOM! Studios reserves the right to split your order into multiple shipments. Again, this will help us balance keeping your shipping costs within a reasonable range and preventing any rare or limited-edition items from becoming damaged in transit.
Please refer to the below chart for ESTIMATED shipping costs related to this campaign. The cost of shipping, due to fuel and other cost fluctuations, is currently very volatile. These are projections only and may change up or down once your order is ready to ship based on a variety of real-world factors. Once your survey through BackerKit is completed, we will be able to finalize your actual shipping costs.
Please note that Total Shipping costs reflect the total you will pay for shipping and handling for your reserved Level and any unlocked Stretch Goals. Add-on items may increase your overall shipping costs. Additionally, during the survey period any U.S. and Canadian customers will be charged for any applicable sales tax based on your final order. For all other international orders, please note that while BOOM! Studios ships packages DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) your country may have additional VAT fees or customs duties which BOOM! Studios does not collect in advance. You will be 100% responsible for any of those fees should they be applied, and BOOM! Studios will not refund any international orders that are refused due to VAT or customs fees beyond our control.
