People kickstarting Christmas-themed games always boggles me. I hope the people backing feel appropriately festive when they deliver in April 2027 or something.

Silent Horizon

Sacred Bodies This is an EU-exclusive listing of Sacred Bodies, run on behalf of VER. If you are sending this order to an address outside the European Union (e.g. the UK, USA, etc), please go to the main listing of...

And as a bonus, something I grabbed at Cymera, Sacred Bodies (Ver) is also about human/creature relations, but in a 2ndary world conjured into being with incredible deftness for a relatively short comic. Really excellent worldbuilding and incredible art.

FERNBORN - MARA cover | Aiwa Get more from Aiwa on Patreon

Finally for the TB haul (but see below), Mara - Fernborn (Aiwa) is a little zine comic in a folklore romantasy vein about a monster that feeds on life force and a guy who knows what he likes! Expressive art and very funny. www.patreon.com/posts/fernbo...

As extra note here on the art in Badgered because the characters have animal heads, with expressions, but they're also drawn as masks, with human neck, body, hands etc. It's a really weird, oddly effective design choice that I really liked.

Badgered (Harud/Aldhous) was enormous fun. Wind in the Willows by way of East-end gangsters. Mr Toad just got out of prison after a stretch for drug dealing and he's going to tear up the town with his old gang. oliverharud.com/project/comi...

I picked up 2 from @decassette.bsky.social - World Heist and Garden of Spheres peow.studio/products/a-g... - both ethereally beautiful art and worlds with a Moebius feel, fantasy stories of thieves, nested worlds and maker and unmaker gods. Dreamlike and magical.

Kickstarter Comic Review: Frog Alley Richard Fairgray delivers on the Kickstarter promise with a wonderful comic

Frog Allewy (Fairgray) thecomicscrowd.substack.com/p/kickstarte... is a fascinating short comic about an increasingly surreal, disturbing and prolonged stay with an old relative - brief but a crooked and interesting tale.

Cold Iron TPB :: Profile :: Dark Horse Comics Celtic folklore and modern moxie collide as an ancient pact between worlds is broken. The sinister forces of Faerie have slipped their shackles, and the Black Dog walks abroad this night... On the ru...

Cold Iron (Diggle/Brockenshire) is a really fun modern folklore story of getting involved with fairy creatures and fairy bargains. V satisfying story and some great creature designs. www.darkhorse.com/books/3009-4...

Silent Horizon - Benjamin Dickson Gives Us Faith, Fear, and the End of the World?  – Broken Frontier In another of Broken Frontier's Thought Bubble Month articles our Lydia Turner reviews Benjamin Dickson's 'Silent Horizon'.

Silent Horizon (Dickson) is a creepy story of people going Lord of the Flies when a small island community is cut off from the mainland - or perhaps from the rest of humanity. Very good but bleak AF. www.brokenfrontier.com/silent-horiz...

Anachronauts Digest The Making of Clockwork Watch

Clockwork Watch (www.clockworkwatch.org) (Brotherson, Gyllblad, Ayeni) is steampunk where a generation of self-aware clockwork robots are brought to Victorian London by an Indian inventor. It's about class, prejudice, authority, told primarily from the POV of an Indian anti-clockwork police antihero

Went to Thought Bubble over the weekend and have been reading up a storm with new graphic novels this week. Some particular notables I picked up:

This is the new Warhammer novel I’ve just had out.

I invite people to imagine how many times I mis-spelled ‘serendipitous’ during the writing of this book.

or my doppelganger is out there causing trouble again.

I've never actually done Dragonmeet! Honestly fitting another convention in would be tricky at this point :)

A list of reward tiers from the NAP COMIX Kickstarter DIGITAL - £7, PHYSICAL - £13, SIGNED & SKETCHED IN - £20

What's in the book? 200 pages of wonder, sleep deprivation, heartbreak, joy, surviving and thriving.

A 5-panel comic. Panel 1) The 4am feed with Henry can feel very lonely. Panel 2) I try to think of others that are also awake at that time like...nocturnal animals? Panel 3) Students studying for a test? Panel 4) And of course, people doing the same thing as me. Panel 5) When I think about them, I feel much less alone.

A 2-panel comic. Panel 1) Caption: A few months ago. Henry is stroking Rachael's face. Rachael: Aaaaa Rob, he's stroking my face! Rob: (off-screen) Aw! Panel 2) Caption: Now. Henry is pulling Rachael's face in very uncomfortable-looking ways. Rachael looks non-plussed.

The NAP COMIX Kickstarter closes TOMORROW so if you've been thinking about pre-ordering my new book please do it soon!

It includes the 1st year's worth of comics from the webcomic, as well as LOADS of exclusive content.

Thank you! (& please share!)

I mean it's going to burst. That's what bubbles do. So this kind of sounds like "Google boss admits liability for consequent damage when AI bubble bursts" to me.

That is amazing.

That's because you lack perspective. Think of it as a proof of concept. Because [highlight start] the real problem with a knowledge-based economy is knowing that, no matter how hard you try, most of the information in the universe has already dissolved into entropy before you even evolved. [Highlight end] So much is lost that we will never know. Societies rise and fall, and everything ends. Even the protracted sojourn our own long-lived culture enjoys can't last forever. But right here, we have a time capsule that has preserved information from who knows how many earlier ages. And it runs experiments with them, creating living, four-dimensional worlds based on the cards it was dealt at the start, and the way the deck was stacked. A machine to cheat time and fate.

Another excerpt from Children Of Memory by @aptshadow.bsky.social.

I'm really close to the end now, and I'm going to have a lot to say about this series then, but for now I just want to say that Tchaikovsky is an expert at the raw art of putting words in order to craft a sentence.

Pret-a-haunter

So the physical limited edition is only going to be available through Sub Press in the US. You should be able to get the ebook I think?

Thanks!

What's not in here? Shadows of the Apt shorts (collected in Tales of the Apt from Newcon Press), most of the stories in the old Feast and Famine antho, and Tyrant Philosopher stories I hope to collect in the future.

A new arrival from Subterranean Press - with a beautiful cover by @alisonsampson.bsky.social - this collects the vast majority of my short fiction to date, along with commentary on particularly noteworthy entries.

Patreon is currenlty a large income source as I try to get this whole "writing regularly" thing off the ground
(had mental health crisis in family, now slowly digging myself out. With my fingernails hahhaha sob)

Terminator: "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle."
Biker: "You already have my clothes, boots and motorcycle."
Terminator: (after a pause) TI do already have your clothes, boots and motorcycle. (walks off naked)

Today, Theo reviews Adrian Tchaikovsky's climate-change sci-fi SATURATION POINT:

"Tchaikovsky’s writing is as entertainingly fluid as ever"
