Matthew Hardy

Cool, they have started to arrive. Thanks for backing and hope you enjoy!

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

Star Trek: First Contact features a ship called the USS Thunder Child.....

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

Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks from both myself and my co-writer @robjoneswrites.bsky.social - we worked damn hard on those books and it's always nice when people let you know how much they enjoyed something.

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.

It might be a little bit insane. You try keeping your sanity when the world is ending in flames and destruction.....

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).

You are spoiling us, Joel.

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.

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.

Black Mirror meets Fallout meets AI injustice in new sci-fi series Cyberarchy Even after the robot uprising, injustice is going to remain a thing in the new comic book series from Mad Cave Studios.

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).

You beat me to it!! - I was just about to post :)

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.

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.

I remember when Grace was about a year old, I did a complete shave. She screamed in terror and cried her eyes out as she didn't recognise me.

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.
