King Toad Comics recently launched a crowdfunding campaign for Swarm, a 50-page, sci-fi superhero book.

Created by Shane Mess, Swarm is described as an “action packed superhero tale” following an orphan child named Joel in his search for his new family.

Here’s the official pitch taken from the Swarm Indiegogo campaign page:

A diabolical organization has developed a serum of weaponized genetics that combines a rapid evolutionary process that when mixed with human and animal DNA can transform a common human into an elite fighting soldier.

Now in high demand on the black market, unwanted children have been targeted as a main viable recourse to test the many combinations of this newfound science before buyers make their purchases.

Joel, a victim of these tests, now takes a stand against those who have turned him into a freak and fights to bring this origanization to its knees.

Backers can get a copy of Swarm for $25. If you have more money to spend, you can also receive the following tchotchkes and extras:

• Multiple copies of the book
• Variant covers
• Art prints
• Sketch cards
• Original artwork

It is also worth noting that there is an additional shipping charge starting at $10 for those in the United States.
