And also a glowing review of @matthew-hardy.bsky.social & @clarkbintart.bsky.social's Cyberarchy from @madcavestudios.com from the fantastic team over at @thecomicon.bsky.social comicon.com/2025/11/04/a...

An amazing writeup from @comicsbeat.bsky.social for @matthew-hardy.bsky.social & @clarkbintart.bsky.social's Cyberarchy #01 from @madcavestudios.com! I loved working on this series! Do not miss it! www.comicsbeat.com/wednesday-co...

A rather lovely review of CYBERARCHY #1. That's a nice start to the week. @clarkbintart.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social

Need to promote my new book more - it’s weird, after years of promoting my self published books, I have a mental block about promoting my published work. Here are both covers to Cyberarchy #1, Brilliant work by @clarkbintart.bsky.social and Andy Clarke. Coming from @madcavestudios.com in December

Home from #MCMLondon. That was an experience and a half. Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by @matthew-hardy.bsky.social and my table, to all who made us sell out of Thunder Child #01 & #02, to our table mates either side of us & to the staff, volunteers and team for putting the show on!

@matthew-hardy.bsky.social was so happy that I took this picture of him to advertise our presence here at MCM London. In other news though, I now have a really sore knee with a footprint shape remarkably like Matt's shoeprint. Come find us at table G23 in Artist Alley, through the big S6 entrance

Come feed @matthew-hardy.bsky.social and I lollipops at #MCMLondon! We're at table G23 in Artist Alley!

So I have a book from @madcavestudios.com coming out soon and the cut off date for ordering issue #1 is 10th November So if people on here like comics, if you like MY comics, are you able to order a copy of issue 1 from your comic book shop please? Please, please? A genuine thank you!

You can find me & @matthew-hardy.bsky.social at table G23 in Artist Alley! I'll also be taking part in @iamgiantwoman.bsky.social's Panel on the Saturday entitled: The Other People: Comic Creation Outside of Writing and Drawing. www.mcmcomiccon.com/london/en-us...

Just got the final issue of Thunderchild. By the great @matthew-hardy.bsky.social

What a mail-day from @robjoneswrites.bsky.social, @matthew-hardy.bsky.social and co! 👌🔥🔥🔥

Interesting angle - to contrast us with the recent, badly received film - but we seem to come off well here. War of the Worlds: Thunder Child launches June 2026.

It's been a few years since I've done MCM London Comic Con - so I'm pleased to see Artists Alley is still a decent size. Just had our table confirmed - G23 - right near one of the main entrances. Come and find us 24th-26th October. @robjoneswrites.bsky.social

I backed this on kickstarter, and have just finished reading all three issues on pdf. Beautifully written and heartbreakingly illustrated.

@comicsbeat.bsky.social covering the two new books I've just had announced. I've worked damn hard on these projects - and damn hard to get to this stage - so I'm insanely pleased to see this. None of it was possible without my co-creators @robjoneswrites.bsky.social and @clarkbintart.bsky.social.

Oh hey, just me and @matthew-hardy.bsky.social taking over some of the @comicsbeat.bsky.social daily digest... with Thunder Child announced by @comicstitan.bsky.social and Matt & @clarkbintart.bsky.social Cyberarchy from @madcavestudios.com! www.comicsbeat.com/digest-092325/

A fresh sci-fi tale soaked in terror and loss, WAR OF THE WORLDS: THUNDER CHILD is a new take on the classic. Pre-order now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and @forbidden-planet.bsky.social (UK & Europe).

Rob and I worry about how fans of this much loved work will feel about this new take, but so far, the response to @comicstitan.bsky.social announcing this has been overwhelmingly positive. So thank you. @robjoneswrites.bsky.social @countpagan.bsky.social, @simongough2099.bsky.social

Fucksake, this #discourse AGAIN? Yes this platform is smaller, very observant. But I don't spend all day being force fed Nazi slop or getting harassed by Nazis on a Nazi platform specifically engineered to amplify Nazis. It's not a hard decision, let's all just move on.

More comic news! @comicstitan.bsky.social are collecting all issues of Thunder Child in an oversized hardback - comic and book store versions. @robjoneswrites.bsky.social, Kevin Castaniero and @simongough2099.bsky.social and I are thrilled that this story and art will reach a new audience.

www.thepopverse.com/comics-cyber... SUPER PUMPED TO SHARE THIS PROJECT, 5 YEARS IN THE MAKING, BEING RELEASED VIA @madcavestudios.com THIS DECEMBER. @matthew-hardy.bsky.social @robjoneswrites.bsky.social AND MYSELF EXPRESS OUR FEELINGS VIA THE SCIFI GENRE, FROM M. SHELLEY TO N.SHITTIFICATION

I made Rob design a whole new form of Robot lettering for this book. Partly because it's cool - partly to torture him :)

My new Cyberarchy series from @madcavestudios.com has just been announced. I'm gonna bang on about this one a bit - but for now I'll just post @clarkbintart.bsky.social cover in full (with our very cool new logo).

On top of this, @matthew-hardy.bsky.social @countpagan.bsky.social @simongough2099.bsky.social and I all have a nomination for Thunder Child in the best crowdfunding category as well. Thank you to everyone who nominated us!

Somehow, somewhere, someway, I am nominated for the @comicscene.bsky.social Comic Creator of 2025(?!!!!) If you want to vote, here's a link. I am both mystified and humbled by this. us4.list-manage.com/survey?u=112...

My copies of Fangwild and Foliate just arrived - seems like forever ago I wrote Fangwild. I know the publisher has had trouble getting these out, I think they are going to restructure for the next release - I hope so as I was really pleased with my scripts for issues 2-5.

VEHI-KILL Vol 1: Traffic is Murder releases from @markosia.bsky.social on the 29th August. I don’t talk about this book enough - it was my chance to do Ghostbusters type stuff and I loved it. The book’s artist @norrie.bsky.social did amazing work here - he draws an incredible possessed car.

This turned up this morning from @rorydraws4.bsky.social I cannot stress how glorious this book is. It just drips in love and joy and fun. Rory has such a clear vision of the story and world he's created, and it gels perfectly with his expressive art. This makes me smile so much.

Just a polite request, if you're sending your letterer, or any creative in your comic, edits using AI to show how you want things laid out...please don't. You're feeding my work, your artists work and your colorists' work into the plagiarism machine without our permission, thus feeding the beast.

Just a reminder that I'm at the London Comic Festival today signing copies of THUNDER CHILD. I look this cheesey in real life as well.

Apologies for the length of the quote here but Douglas Adam's "Reason" software sounds vaguely familiar in today's environment

Last year, I had one of my polycystic kidneys removed to make space for a kidney transplant. Today, I found out that the remaining kidney has grown so large, pressing in my stomach, lungs, and heart - that it now needs to be removed as well. Not great.

Massive Attack does an excellent job of putting the Vylan controversy in perspective (from their Insta).

I'm used to checking the Kickstarter total at breakfast. I'm used to checking the Kickstarter total about 10 times a day. I have withdrawal.

3 campaigns. 1686 backers. £43,827 taken in funding. From the bottom of mine & @matthew-hardy.bsky.social hearts, thank you for bringing Thunder Child to life. Thank you all so very, very much.

Martin is a pal, so this might sound like blowing smoke but just take as look at the page for this project - unique talent, right at the top end of the indie scene. You won't see another comic like this. Just 48hrs to go, you deserve this comic in your life!

Final THUNDER CHILD print - this one by the master of horror and suspense that is @christiandibari.bsky.social. No escaping this mechanical nightmare. Thank you to everyone who has liked & shared these posts - if you liked what you saw, please follow & support the artists tagged. kck.st/4kHvrMl

Shocked to hear that Jim Shooter has passed. Heard so many stories and I know he was a polarising figure to many other creators - but his work was the foundation of so much of the Legion of Superheroes that I love - and the UK reprints of his Secret Wars became my gateway into US comics. RIP.

I'm a guest at London Film and Comic Con this weekend. First London Con I've done for a few years. Find me on the SHIFT stand with copies of THUNDER CHILD and a fixed smile as I repeatedly explain to the con attendees that I'm not the wrestler, Matt Hardy. theshift.store

Final day for THUNDER CHILD and we are sitting at £17K (nearly $24K). We are genuinely grateful for the support that let us complete the story that Rob and I started 5 years ago - finally tell the full tragic tale of the HMS Thunder Child. This series has meant a lot to everyone who worked on it.

Hearing that Frazer’s particularly annoyed by this detailed & ongoing account of the TFTQ timeline gaining increased attention. So don’t share it about, yeah?

This!!🔥 👇

Trying to get through all the THUNDER CHILD prints before the campaign ends tomorrow. Next up is this action packed image by @norrie.bsky.social We've got graphic novel coming out in September. There seems to be a trend in comics towards NORRIE's type of bombastic, kinetic style. kck.st/4kHvrMl

I’ve submitted the promotional copy listing text for CYBERARCHY #1 to the publisher - it should be announced shortly. They also wanted the blurb for the back of the collected edition - these things have to be sorted so far in advance! Anyway here is @clarkbintart.bsky.social's cover for Issue 1.

I bought this cover for my kid. TOTALLY for my kid. Not for me. .... How cool does Sonic look as the Flash?

Next up in my virtual tour of THUNDER CHILD prints is this highly inventive image by Warwick Fraser-Coombe. Warwick has one of the most unique styles in comics - and this is a spectacular interpretation of a Martain Tripod. kck.st/4kHvrMl
