What a great review of Doctor Strange #7...! Special mention, of course, to Dono on colours. He is just doing AMAZING work.

Quick Pick: If you haven't been reading
@dereklandy.bsky.social
and Ivan Fiorelli's Doctor Strange, then you owe it to yourself to pick up this issue. Just look at the gorgeous cover art by Alex Horley!!!

Interesting thing: even his analogy is wrong. Animating with AI is not like "having sex and then they hand you a baby" ā it's like they hand you an adult that you had no hand in raising, no chance of influencing, no way to steering towards becoming a worthwhile human being. It's empty. Meaningless.

A wonderful review of the new issue of Doctor Strange! This issue has it all, folk: Wanda, Clea, Angela, and the first appearance of our new villain... DOWNFALL.

Okay folks, bad news⦠Due to train issues in Manchester Piccadilly that have been going on since yesterday, I wonāt be able to make it to my Manchester signing this afternoon. Manchester signings are always HUGE and wonderful and we really didnāt want to have to postpone, but we have no choice.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

There are certain skills for certain types of story. I am good at what I do, but I have tried writing a Future Shock short story for
@2000ad.bsky.social
five or six times so far and NONE OF THEM have been good enough. So you just keep plugging away, because maybe the next one will be.

Arrived in Limerick early, so now Iām walking the streets before the signing begins (at 3:30). Got my earbuds in and currently listening to the soundtrack for Ready or Not 2. Really makes walking so much more EXCITING when you have an orchestra in your ears the whole timeā¦

In seven days, ASFOS is released. The final book in Phase 3, and the culmination of so many years of storytelling and character growth and development. I cannot WAIT for you to read it.

Just did an interview and was asked for a song to play out with. I was GOING to suggest Red Right Hand before deciding that, nope, I think Skulduggery's theme tune would be Big Bad Handsome Man by Imelda May, as seen in Kingdom of the Wicked. What would be your choice?

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Searching back for something in an old email led me to 2007, and my publisher's first (happy response) to reading the 1st draft of Skulduggery book 2. The initial title I had on that? Black Moon Fever. I still don't love "Playing With Fire" as a title but... YIKES.

An easy trap a writer can fall into is writing so much you donāt make time to read (no one wants to reach that Garth Marenghi stage being a writer that has written more books than heās read) so Iām glad that my year has started off so well. What have YOU read so far this in 2026?
