The aim is that the Comic Scene imprint will represent how varied and diverse comics in the UK can be, so will be actively looking for original comics that can be published under Comic Scene 😁

Comic Scene have become a great champion for British comics, so I'm excited that their publishing side will now be my new imprint with Time Bomb! I'll be developing this range with Tony Foster which will publish not only my work, but comics and magazines created by a whole host of others πŸ™‚

Pleased that the Quantum #1-#4 KS has almost hit Β£1K, especially as many of my regular UK backers will likely already have the comics. That said, some have jumped on to support, which really is a splendid thing for them to do πŸ™‚Quantum Newbies also very welcome, of course!

The problem with 2 books arriving fresh from the printer at the same time is choosing which one to crack open and smell first...

The Gorge movie poster

The Gorge movie poster

I did enjoy this, but I enjoyed the scenes outside the gorge much more. Below the mist it felt like watching a 2-player shoot-em-up. They're always much more entertaining for the players than the observers. #thegorge #movies #AppleTV

Steampunk space-ace Major Rakhana running towards an alien lizard in a Venusian jungle

Steampunk space-ace Major Rakhana running towards an alien lizard in a Venusian jungle

Detail from a panel in the latest Major Rakhana episode. Written by me but with amazing work from line artist Roland Bird and colourist Luca Mattioni. #comics #indiecomics #quantum #majorrakhana

The design work throughout is by Andy Bloor, who will be a familiar name to many who enjoy UK indie comics. He's really done a splendid job!

A proper one too, like yours! No 'actors' or toy traders there, apparently.

Met with the showrunner of this yesterday, some interesting stuff planned, and all about the comics. They're officially announcing later this week. #Comics #comicon

Rob is my letterer of choice, so hit him up (but not too much as I still need him available for my gigs!).

He'll be doing serious jail time, surely?

So, Twin Peaks: The Return is like it heard everyone describing the original seasons as good but a bit weird and responded "hold my beer". #twinpeaks

Happy 2025! I hope some good things come your way and any not so good things are surmountable 😁

Any idea why the promo text says Worlds instead of the World it's being listed as? (I think Worlds is the better title, tbh.)

Interesting to see what they decide to recolour/re-edit next. Thinking Tomb of the Cybermen, myself.

As for the new regeneration, the Pertwee profile jarred for me - too obviously CGI - but the 'confused' dating a lovely nod to the lore.

The new edit worked, too for the most part, although maybe another 10 or 15 minutes could have helped, just to give some further plot clarity through the middle third.

I thought this was very well done, in particular the colourisation, a real step up from last year's The Daleks rework.

Understanding how to navigate a comic page from an early age feels like a subconsciously learned skill.
