We're going live on Twitch tomorrow night to celebrate the end of the campaign!

And enter our epic giveaway!
1st Place:

2 signed 8x10” art prints by Jayel Draco
2 high-quality vinyl stickers! 🎨✨
2nd Place:
A black dragon-skin bag of holding for all your sidequest needs
The fourteenth anthology of short comics from Oneshi Press is a 174-page, perfect-bound collection of short comics contains 21 stunningly illustrated stories, all about finding yourself swept away from your mission.
Every quest needs at least one unexpected mission that takes adventurers off the beaten path. Whether it’s from helping out the locals, casting spells, discovering cosmic mysteries, breaking a curse, or even organizing a labor movement in the afterlife!
The Sidequests Anthology celebrates all these unforeseen journeys and more in a truly stunning lineup of short comics that explore outer space, inner peace, wartime revelations, and much more.
Once the anthology’s initial funding goal has been reached, we’ll split all profit amongst the 36 diverse creators whose work appears in the anthology—so the more backing the anthology receives, the more the creators earn!
In difficult times like these, Oneshi Press’s emphasis on community building, collaboration, and creative joy is more important than ever.
Our goal with the Sidequests Anthology is to celebrate the spirit of creativity that brings indie comics to the world.
Your quest? To support this community-driven campaign with a pledge, a share, or a comment!

Hello there, Cohorts!
We hope you're enjoying your copy of the Cohorts Anthology, whether it's in digital or in print! (We're shipping out a few today to folks who just filled out their surveys, so hang in there if you haven't received your print copy yet!)
We're so incredibly pleased with this collection, and we hope you are, too! We'd love to hear your feedback in the comments, in our message inbox, or at [email protected]!
And we want to let you in on the next indie comics anthology from Oneshi Press…
THE SIDEQUESTS ANTHOLOGY!
The 14th Oneshi Press Comic Anthology—SIDEQUESTS—is a celebration of finding oneself on the path less taken.
Sometimes, stories don’t take a straight path from origin to destination. The journey you set out on has a way of becoming something more, but you gain experience and wisdom (and maybe cohorts) along the way.
In order to reach your goal, you’ve got to undertake…
A sidequest!
Join us this November as we Kickstart a collection of 20 short comics from nearly 3 dozen diverse indie creators from around the world!
Including…
"Trek Support" by Michel Abstracto!
"The Madam's Journey" by Lynsey G, Nazarena Bosch, & Nikki Powers
"The Last Martian" by Ryan George & Sam Purata
"A Spy for the People" by Ninke Naujoks & Emma Olofsson
"The Super Hitman's Secret Power" by Robert Jeschonek, Rafael Chrestani, & Mohamed Fouad
…and many more!
We won't be launching until November, but our pre-launch page is already live!
So now, we're tasking you with a sidequest:
Clicking the "Notify Me on Launch" button on the pre-launch page!
There's no obligation to back the Kickstarter once it goes live. The pre-launch follow just helps us get seen by more potential backers both before and after we launch…and gives you a front-row seat to our campaign the moment we go live!
Thanks again for supporting Oneshi Press and the many creators whose work we publish!

The Cohorts Anthology Is HERE!🎆

Guess what, Cohorts?!
The books have arrived!
And, while we're as bummed as you are about the long wait…it looks like it was worth it.
Because the books look amazing!
We think they're definitely worth the wait, and we hope you will, too!
Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunterzom-com caper about a half-goblin hero who’s got to save everybody if he wants to save himself from a curse during the zombie apocalypse.
He's not super stoked about it…
In this love letter to pop culture, written by Jayel Draco, each eight-page adventure is illustrated by a different artist, and each one lovingly lambasts a pop-culture trope for maximum action, multiple laughs, and mucho monster smashing!

Hey there, Cohorts!
It's been quite a while since we've updated you, so we're going to start of with the excellent news…
🌲 We've Planted Your Trees! 🌳
As of today, we have donated to OneTreePlanted.org for each and every one of you—plus an incredible 202 extra trees that you purchased as add-ons!
In total, we are planting 336 trees in your honor!
Want a visual representation? Check this out.

Want another visual representation?
No problem—we got a tree-planting certificate from OneTreePlanted!
These 336 trees will be planted wherever they are most needed around the world, as part of OneTreePlanted's ongoing global reforestation efforts.
We love to think about all the good these 336 trees will do in the world: creating habitat for all sorts of other plants and animals, cleaning the air and the soil, sequestering carbon, helping fight climate change, and so much more.
Anytime you'd like to plant more trees, you can visit OneshiPress.com/OneTreePlanted and make a donation using our tree-planting portal! All the money you donate goes straight to OneTreePlanted to get more trees into the ground.
And now for the not-as-excellent news…
📚 Books Have Been Delayed 😓
The printed Cohorts Anthologies have been slow in coming, as we're sure you're aware.
That's because we've now seen three—count 'em, three!—proofs. And each time, we've fixed errors and send the file back to the printer.
It wasn't until this very day that we finalized the last proof and submitted it for printing.
Whew! It's been a tough one, folks.
But we're finally confident in saying that the book has finally been really truly finally finalized, and is on its way to Oneshi Press HQ!
We will keep you informed about every step of fulfillment when it arrives.
In the meantime, you may want to check out the next comics project from Oneshi Press…
🧟♀️ Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter 💀
Mr. Guy: Zombie Hunter is a ridiculously fun zombie comedy (or, as we call it, a zom-com) about a half-goblin hero who’s cursed with the sassy ghost of the zombie who bit him…
Unless he can find the cure for zombie-ism, saving himself by saving us all!
Ugh. That is so much work!
(Yes, that's cheese.)
In this love letter to pop culture, written by Jayel Draco, each eight-page adventure is illustrated by a different artist—including Jayel Draco, Walter Ostlie, Diana Camero, Jacey Chase, Angela Oddling, James Groeling, Daniel Hooker, Michel Abstracto, Wren Rios, “Skooba” Steve Myers, Whitney Cook, Tess Langston, Shadowind, Kael McDonald, and C. R. Florence. Plus cover art from Sonne, stevieraedrawn, and Benjamin Morse, and guest art from even more epic artists!
Be the first to find out how this sprawling epic, packed full of wisecracks, easter eggs, and inside jokes finally comes to a close in the epic trilogy finale, launching in May.
