We're thrilled to introduce you to Backer Milestones…our plan to give every single one of our backers more comics!
Here's how it works:
When we hit certain backer-count goals, we'll unlock new digital comics that will go out to all our backers when we fulfill—totally free!
Here's what we have lined up to give you, and when it will be added to your rewards bundle!
They're all locked for now, but we're only eight backers away from unlocking Brad(s)! When we pass the 100-backer mark, we'll add it to your rewards for free.
About Brad(s)
In this short sci-fi comic from Adriana Arignallo and Lane Lloyd, a dinner date goes sour when an unexpected guest interrupts—and he's not leaving without a fight!
🎙️ Creator Interview: Tom Lynott, Writer of "Payload"
In May 2021, Tom Lynott (he/him) took an Introduction to Lettering Comics course through Andy Schmidt’s online forum Comics Experience. The class was taught by professional letterer and digital designer Sean Rinehart. Since then, he has lettered multiple one- and two-page stories created by writers and artists through The Comic Jam. He has also worked on projects that have been published by independent publishing companies including: Dren Productions, Fugitive Poems, and Panelsmith Comics. In August 2022, he started writing his own one- and two-page scripts and has had short comics included in anthologies published by Foreign Press Comics, Luke Henderson, and Warden Comics.
We talked to Tom about his inspirations, his comic as a movie, and why lettering is so important and boring at onc!
Who are your writing heroes (or other people who inspire you)?
Writers – Mike Mignola, James Tynion IV. I have more books written by Mignola than any other author in my collection. Tynion’s The Department of Truth series, in my opinion, is the BEST series ever written in the history of comics!
Letterers – Tom Orzechowski, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. When I started lettering comics in 2021, I was told by numerous people, or read from numerous sources, that the lettering is not supposed to detract from the art. It serves more as a tool to help tell the story than the main focus of a comic.
Lettering, especially bad lettering, can take a reader out of a story very quickly. I have read many comics where the letterer does and incredible job of not detracting from the art of a story. Their lettering is perfect. If you’re not another letterer it doesn’t even register that there are words and balloons on the page. In other words, the lettering is boring.

We're amazed, Loose Ends backers!
Your support has pushed us past our funding goal! 🥳💃🎉 Check out this glorious screencap from our Kickstarter Dashboard! 👇
102% funded! That's all you amazing folks! Thank you so much!
But even though we just funded, we're only getting started.
That's because the funding goal is our minimum goal! The $3,500 goal ensures that we will have enough funding to print and ship the Loose Ends Anthology to backers. 📫
But after that goal has been met, we start splitting all funding with our contributors!
We break the profits right down the middle, holding on to 50% because, as you might imagine, more funding means more backers, which means printing and shipping more books, all of which costs money.
But the other 50% goes straight to the creators who contributed their amazing work to the anthology!
That means that the more funding we get, the more we can pay these awesome folks! 👇
So thank you, thank you, thank you for starting the process by supporting this collection! 🙏 We can't wait to show you what happens next!
(Hint: We have big plans.)
Your friends at Oneshi Press, Jayel & Lynsey 🧔👩🦰

As soon as we hit 100% funding, we'll start unlocking stretch goals, loading you up with bonus rewards, and paying our contributors for their amazing work.
Now, we'd like to introduce you to another one of the creators behind the Loose Ends Anthology…
🎙️ Creator Interview: Shamika Mitchell, Writer of "Harlem Galaxy: Salaam"
Born in Harlem, Dr. Shamika Ann Mitchell is English faculty at Rockland Community College, State University of New York. She is the creator of #SalaamFandom, an initiative to celebrate and uplift Muslims in all aspects of fandom. Her writing has been published in various texts, and she is a member of Women in Comics NYC Collective International.
We talked to Shamika about her short comic, “Harlem Galaxy: Salaam,” Muslim representation in comics and fandom, and much more.
Who are your writing heroes, or other creators who inspire you?
The creators who inspire me the most are my ancestors from the 19th century all the way through the Black Arts Movement. What is most remarkable is the collective spirit they had. Everything was communal. They mostly didn’t have the support of “major publishers” but it didn’t stop them from creating and sharing their works. To be able to control your narrative and have ownership of your voice was crucial during the 19th Century and Abolition. It is empowering and inspiring to do that, especially at a time when enslavement is legal, acceptable, and publicly visible.
From then until the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, my people wrote about every aspect of humanity, and it isn’t all about despair. Some of it is funny and some is disturbing. Some is whimsical and some is foreboding. They lived and they loved. Most importantly, they owned their words, and they had community. That will always be my guidepost and touchstone.
