Welcome to our revamped “Crowdfunding Corner” rounding up some of the latest crowdfunding news. We’re going beyond just announcement projects, we’ll be tracking to make sure these projects get delivered as well as what we think the “risk” of backing them are.

All crowdfunding has an inherent risk, so do your research before backing any project.

We’ve experienced Failure, felt all the Feelings, and now, it’s time for some Fun! Skybound has launched a new campaign for Kickstarter-exclusive Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Fun, collecting Mr. Lovenstein comics from webcomics superstar J.L. Westover, who returns to follow up his previous Kickstarter hits with his biggest campaign yet! 

Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Fun is the final entry in the Mr. Lovenstein trilogy of small but mighty square books, and this one is packed to the gills with over 200 pages of J.L. Westover’s FUNiest comics ever, including 12 book-exclusive comics, along with secret panels and additional guest comics. Every copy comes with a 100% Fun Guarantee. But the “fun” doesn’t stop there. 

Mr. Lovenstein Presents: New Heights is a Kickstarter-exclusive collection featuring all Mr. Lovenstein comics that could not be contained by a mere square. That’s right, there’s two whole inches added onto this one, making this the tallest Mr. Lovenstein book ever made, and that’s how you know it’s the best. 

Looking for the ultimate Mr. Lovenstein collection? Don’t miss Mr. Lovenstein Presents: All of It, a complete collection of every Mr. Lovenstein Presents book available in a Kickstarter-exclusive slipcase. The slipcase will house the two previous books, Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure and Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Feelings, in addition to Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Fun and Mr. Lovenstein Presents: New Heights. 

Additionally, fans that back the campaign at higher tiers can secure special rewards from stretch goals including bookmarks, die cut stickers, art prints, and more yet to be announced. 

This is the third partnership between J.L. Westover and Skybound, following the highly successful Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Feelings and Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Failure campaigns which earned a whopping $575,000 combined total, making them some of the most funded webcomics graphic novel campaigns of all-time.  

The Mr. Lovenstein Presents: Fun campaign is live now on Kickstarter, with stretch goals and campaign-exclusive products to be announced through the close of the campaign on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 12 p.m. PT.
