Last week, I launched the Kickstarter campaign for Plexus #2, just before heading to Thought Bubble to table for the first time at the show. In keeping with the excitement I usually feel on the back of a big comic-centric event, I decided to share the workshop I put together for Octocon on writing comic…
This past weekend, myself and Gareth Luby met in Harrogate to represent Limit Break Comics at Thought Bubble. There, we were able to launch Turning Roads, bring our books to a UK show for the first time, and meet some fellow creators. It was a fun, but exhausting weekend, and though it was clear the pandemic…
The day has finally arrived – Turning Roads has been sent to print! I finished up work on the book last night after spending all day Sunday in bed, taking my finalised order and using it to create the cover and the credits pages. Rich, from Comic Printing UK, had sent a template for the cover a…
Straight from the last campaign update, here’s where the production of the book stands so far: As well as that, I was interviewed by the Comic Book Yeti’s team about the book, the Irish comic scene, and spreadsheets. It’s a long interview, covering quite a broad spectrum of topics and includes some notes on tackling a…
On Sunday evening, just after dinner with my parents, we sat around my phone waiting for 8pm and the end of the Turning Roads Kickstarter. Cue the confetti. That was a long month, with more interviews than I’d ever done in a single year, and more engagement with people online than I’ve managed probably since I joined…
A day after my last update on the book, we hit our first stretch goal and unlocked Declan Shalvey’s cover for Turning Roads. As you can imagine, I’ve been on a bit of an emotional high since then. Now I can finally show off the full-colour version of the cover that Declan created for the book. As…
We did it! Shortly after 10pm last night, we hit our funding goal of €6,000. There’s still a bit of work required to hit our first Stretch Goal, which will unlock Declan Shalvey’s cover of the book. Check out the inks below! I’m honestly blown away by the support the book has received so far….
As I write this, the Turning Roads Kickstarter page is undergoing final reviews before it’s launch. Assuming there are no delays, it’ll be out in the world on Wednesday, February 24th. This is a big, scary time for me as a creator, but with 30+ people to help push the project, I’m hopeful to see some positive results….
Last week, my comic script for Turning Roads had been sent to the artist. Dusk and Dreaded Night is a four-page comic exploring a world in which a cybernetic Dullahan wreaks havoc on Ireland, with the insinuation that it’s only one nasty problem that the good folks of our wee country have to put up on the regular. I’m…
If you’ve been paying attention to my social media the last few weeks, you’ll seen mention of a wee little anthology I’m putting together through Limit Break Comics. Turning Roads is aiming to collect comic adaptations of Irish folklore and mythology stories, set in modern and future Ireland. The book will be going to Kickstarter later this…
