I’ve got to have a nuclear medicine myocardial perfusion scan on Wednesday. The literature says ‘The radioactive tracer injection exposes you to Gamma Rays” OK comic nerds - hands up who is thinking what I’m thinking?

When @russellmarkolson.bsky.social offers to draw one of your stories - you always say YES! Hence this story in the upcoming SKRAWL #3 - I drew on my experience of having all my kidneys cut out when writing this one. Half heist, half cautionary tale, all fun! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rus...

Why, when I've got script deadlines, do I manage to slice two of my typing fingers? On a damn yoghurt pot. I'm a blithering idiot.

We all put a lot of of time and thought into this book, so really pleased to see this has done so well. It’s the final few hours if you want to check it out and enter a world of hunters, cryptids, mysterious societies, rebellion and betrayal. www.kickstarter.com/projects/kry...

Matt forgot to include the best photo... This photo is entitled 'Rob Jones takes what he does as seriously as a heart attack.'

I originally followed along digitally on Kickstarter, so it’s awesome to be able to hold this beauty in hardcover format now! Great job @robjoneswrites.bsky.social @matthew-hardy.bsky.social and team!

Finally been confirmed as medically fit to go back on the Kidney transplant waiting list. A small but significant moment that got me through my recovery was this sketch that Dave Gibbons did for me. Big thanks to Andy Lanning for grabbing it and to Dave for putting a big smile on my face. Hurm.

For the third ‘Beyond Thunder Child’ story, Rob and I are delighted to be joined by legendary writer Andy Lanning. Paired with the powerful art of NORRIE, Andy has weaved us a tale of regret, loss and heroism - on the backdrop of the mystery of the Martian Red Weed….. Watch this space for more.

This goes on sale in bookstores today. 144 pages of terror, discovery, disaster, anger, passion, bravery, recriminations, revelations and ultimately sacrifice... and hope. All told with VERY pretty pictures. I'm allowed to be proud of this. titan-comics.com/c/2381-the-w...

I own approx 40,000 comics - all kept in a random order (I know this drives some of you crazy) But this means I’m always finding cool stuff I forgot I had! This must be the first comic with Sam Kieth's artwork I ever bought. It’s a fun Grant/Wagner tale, but let’s face it - that cover rules.

The book itself, from @comicstitan.bsky.social is released in Book Stores TOMORROW and then Comic Book Stores on WEDNESDAY! @matthew-hardy.bsky.social & I will be signing copies at @forbidden-planet.bsky.social megastore in London on Wednesday too between 5.30-6.30!

The amazing Brad Holman has produced this 3D Tripod model, based on Tim Dowler's bespoke design from the cover of War of the Worlds: Thunder Child! War of the Worlds: Thunder Child releases in book stores tomorrow (in comic shops on Wednesday) with a signing at Forbidden Planet Megastore London.

We have created 3 epilogues to our War of the Worlds book. With the overarching title of ‘Beyond Thunder Child’ (heh) - the first of these tales will be “A Light in the East’ - a survivor tries to find their way in a world of personal and global loss. Story by Rob Jones, art by Benjamin Filby.

The "Rob does Comics Tour 2026" is hotting up. I'll be in London this Wednesday with @matthew-hardy.bsky.social signing copies of Thunder Child from @comicstitan.bsky.social at the @forbidden-planet.bsky.social megastore, then @sequential-scot.bsky.social in Aug & #SCARF in Oct!

More funky graphics for A HUNTER'S TALE - this time showing off our tasty stretch goals. (desperate to hit the foiling goal - all that gold on the cover is going to be amazing). Welcome to the Art Deco world of ruthless hunters and strange creatures from Kryptothera – The Cryptid Pursuit.

Going into town to sign some com-ics!

WAR OF THE WORLDS: THUNDER CHILD authors, Matthew Hardy and Rob Jones, are coming to London! Join us and get your copy of this dramatic tale on Wednesday, July 1, at 5:30 PM at @forbidden-planet.bsky.social Megastore London. For the early comers, we have some exciting art cards!

I can post an utterly stunning piece of art and only get four reactions. I post a picture of my silly face holding a book of that art and a hundred people hit 'like'. Let’s post a much prettier person holding a book and see what happens 🙂 www.kickstarter.com/projects/kry...

Last week I posted that the CYBERARCHY collection was out in comics shops. It was not. (It had been delayed a week). It's out this week. If you like sci-fi, robots, BIG explosions and the end of the world(s), then @clarkbintart.bsky.social and I would love it if you checked the book out.

Matthew Hardy & Rob Jones Signing The War Of The Worlds: Thunder Child

The Thunder Child follow-ups have been announced and I can finally talk about my story with Geoff Senior. This is a slow burning mystery, intercut with body horror and moments of extreme violence and destruction. I’m really excited to be working with Geoff, and to share this with you all.

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Rob Jones & myself will be signing copies of Thunder Child at Forbidden Planet London. Rob is travelling from the darkest northern wastes to civilisation for this - Come grab an exclusive signed copy - and some special signed limited edition art cards as well. forbiddenplanet.com/events/2026/...
