Locking Orders on Monday (and Launching a New Campaign Tomorrow!)
8 months ago – Wed, Jan 31, 2024 at 01:00:48 PM

Hello, darling Cohorts!

This is a quick update to tell you TWO important things!

1) 🔐 We're Locking Orders on Monday! 🔐

On Monday, February 5, we're locking all orders placed in BackerKit! So, if you grabbed any add-ons while completing your survey, you will lose the ability to update those orders after they lock.

That means that now's a great time to log in to BackerKit and make sure you got everything you wanted!

Click Here to Check Your Order!

(And feel free to stock up on TarMucks coffee, extra art prints, stickers, comics, and more while you're there!)

We'll send out reminder emails via BackerKit on Saturday, but we wanted to be sure you had plenty of time, so here's your first notice.

2) 🐾 Our Next Campaign Launches Tomorrow! 🐾

If you love comics, dogs, and justice

You'll love our next campaign, which launches tomorrow!

PACK #1-#4

The PACK series follows a group of 6 stray dogs—and 1 stray man—who join together to fight for justice. Each issue tells the story of one member of the PACK…as well as the ongoing story of these heroic pups, even as corruption, crime, and loyalties splinter around them.

In Issue #4, you'll meet Chastity, the sweet-tempered mastiff who sometimes turns into an unstoppable force of extreme violence…

…and you'll discover the shocking truth of how she became so unpredictable.

Meanwhile, the pressure on these brave doggos is turned up. 

A police task force hits the streets to round up our heroes and put them behind bars.

The residents of the neighborhood are siding with the dogs, causing tensions to rise all the way from the streets to City Hall.

Your front-row seats to the campaign are waiting! 

Follow the page in pre-launch to help us have the strongest possible launch and be the first in line to reserve your cop of PACK #4: Chastity!  

🐾 Follow Now! 🐾

And don't miss our launch party!

We're celebrating the launch on Thursday evening with a live-streamed party.

We'll giving away original art of the dogs of the PACK, so don't miss out.

Join us from 6:00 - 8:00 pm Mountain Time on Thursday, Feb. 1 on the Oneshi Press Twitch channel

We'll see you there!

Great Job with Surveys 👍 + SIDEQUESTS!
8 months ago – Wed, Jan 24, 2024 at 11:32:47 AM

Hello again, Cohorts!

You're all fantastic! 88% of you completed your surveys on time, which means we're ready to put together our thank-you pages, and then start the fulfillment process!

Starting this week, we're putting final touches on digital rewards so we can get them out to you as soon as possible, and also order your physical rewards. Let's go!

We will charge cards for add-ons on February 2, so please be sure that you've got your most up-to-date credit card information on file with BackerKit!

In the meantime, we've got some epic news about our comics anthologies…

Our Next Anthology's Theme Is SIDEQUESTS!

Earlier today, we announced the theme for our 14th anthology of short comics: SIDEQUESTS!

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!

We're accepting submissions now through April 24 on our website.

Click here to read the call for submissions!

We'd love to see what you've got in mind!

Safe and Swift,

Your friends at Oneshi Press, Lynsey & Jayel 👩‍🦰🧔

Here's Another Campaign We Love…

The Obsidian Spindle Saga

Rose Briar is a diabetic college student without insurance. Without her medication, Rose falls into a diabetic coma and wakes up in a fantastical place called the Dream Realm, where fairy tales and legends of old are still very much alive.

She must trek across the world, visit the most powerful object in the land, the Obsidian Spindle, and entreat the fates; the only beings powerful enough to send her soul back to Earth.

But evil forces don’t want her to leave. They will stop at nothing to capture her and make sure she never goes home again.

🚨 Last Day for Surveys! 🚨
8 months ago – Fri, Jan 19, 2024 at 11:26:33 AM

Hello, Cohorts!

1) Today is the 🚨 last day 🚨 to complete your surveys for the Cohorts Anthology!

If your survey is completed later than end of day today, we will still be able to get your rewards to you…but your name will not be featured on our thank-you page online or in the book!

So, if you're one of the 16% of backers who still have not completed their survey…get on it, folks!

You can access your personalized survey either by:

While you're there, you can peruse all of our other books and merch in our store! We've even got in-world coffee from our comics! ☕

So far, we're extremely pleased to see how many of you are ordering extra trees via our partnership with One Tree Planted! Let's make our forest grow, grow, grow!

2) Original Art by James Groeling Still Available!

We've teamed up with James Groeling, artist extraordinaire and the creator of the stunning Cohorts Anthology cover and intro art…to bring his hand-drawn, original art for the anthology to our store!

You can own…

  • The beautiful, hand-created, fully colored cover art, featuring Planet Oneshi and the Oneshi Press mech, and/or
  • The equally astonishing intro pages, featuring Cthulhu, the Oneshi Press cofounders piloting the mech, and one very confused cow!

They're gorgeous, they're beautiful, they're awesome, and they're one-of-a-kind…and once they're gone, they're gone!

Safe & Swift,

Your friends at Oneshi Press, Lynsey & Jayel 👩‍🦰🧔

Here's Another Campaign We Love…

Armageddonquest

Armageddonquest (or "AQ") is the b&w underground "comix" epic by the singular voice of writer/artist Ronald Russell Roach (or "3R") crafted between 1984 - 1992. It's the coming-of-age tale of the Antichrist, Tazio, but he's a reluctant one -  a nice kid who doesn't want to hurt anyone or bring about the end of the world. The rest of the world, however, wants him to be what they say he is, and fulfill a destiny preordained long before his birth.
