Ever wonder what a parade would look like in Mega-City One? The answers are in this interview with @splinister.bsky.social & Joe Currie, plus an exclusive preview of their story for this year's @2000ad.bsky.social annual: comicon.com/2025/11/05/e...
Ho Ho Ho... it's the season to be scary... get your @2000ad.bsky.social 2026 annual. It was such fun (and mayhem) to write the Dark Judges for an Anderson: Psi-Division script. Thanks to Joe Currie & Rob Steen for their excellent work.

I'm happy to see that this Friday's talk at @nlireland.bsky.social on Early Irish Comics is listed as sold out! How gratifying to see there is such interest! I'm looking forward to being back in the NLI to chat comics with my fellow obsessives. www.eventbrite.ie/e/comics-at-...

If you've listened to an interview any time in the last year, you heard me tease there was something big coming.
WELCOME TO SOMETHING BIG.
Buffy was incredibly formative to me. She's one of my favorite heroines of all time. Writing this is the dream. The pitch is WILD, & I hope you guys love it. 🖤

Amazing work, Rachael. Much love.
Since I saw it half an hour ago I've been trying to find the words to express how I feel, but I've come up short.
I'm beyond thrilled that HEARTWOOD: A MYTHAGO WOOD ANTHOLOGY has made the shortlist for this year's World Fantasy Awards. I'll thank you all properly shortly, but for now I'm in shock.
Thanks!
Cheers!
