Veritas is a self-aware series that can poke fun at itself like the movie Sky High, but also respects its roots like Invincible. The target audience for Veritas spans young adult to adult readers, and it has a realism that grounds the book, without vulgarity and gore being prerequisites for telling a complex story. The campaign is to continue their commitment to getting their issues directly into the readers' hands. They have already finished 12 issues, which are available to read online, but this campaign is to get issues 1-4 printed. These issues are already written, drawn, and colored, so they just need help to get them printed.

He also talks about why they chose Kickstarter for this campaign, despite their previous success on Zoop, and shares his thoughts on crowdfunding platforms.
