I haven’t written a creator owned book since 2022’s BLOOD STAINED TEETH. So I thought I’d hit you a double hit of two of the best comics I’ve written. One is about something I love : Art One is about something I hate: climate change ( and billonaires )
I’m not doing any commissions for ( or at ) SDCC but you’ll have a chance to get your hands on this
Get ready to love the Phantom Professor in Super Creepshow #5 by myself and @fverasart.bsky.social out today from @skybound.bsky.social
This one hurts. Lots of my happiest film memories are associated with Sam Neill. I remember first watching him in Dead Calm, watched with my parents when I was probably too young. Then Jurassic Park, Mouth of Madness & of course Event Horizon. Thank you and rest easy Sam you were one of the bests
My SDCC schedule ! My first time back to THE comic con in almost 2 decades! ( I’ve come a long way since! ) Unfortunately I won't be doing commissions ( or selling prints ) but you can catch me on 4 panels and at 8 signing events spread out across the four days. So excited to see you all there!
Currently wading through not 1 , not 2 , not 3 but 6 email interviews for The Forever Home. Plus I’m 1 podcast interview down but I have another 3 over the coming weeks. I’ve never experienced so much interest in a book so quickly. Find out why on September 9th from @oni-press.bsky.social
It’s Event Horizon : Inferno #3 day! From myself , @robcareyart.bsky.social and @xenonhonchar.bsky.social Come get trapped in a hell-loop with us . In which some mysterious are revealed and others are deepened out now from @idwpublishing.com
My variant for @kellythompson.bsky.social and @mattiadeiulis.bsky.social Universal Monsters: The Bride of Frankenstein Lives #1! Coming soon from @skybound.bsky.social
A month today SDCC begins ! I'll be on 4 panels & have at least two signing slots a day with @idwpublishing.com , @oni-press.bsky.social @ignitionpress.bsky.social and @imagine. Expect some giveaways alongside a very cool announcement or two. Details of my schedule to follow.
Last chance ( in the US ) to preorder The Patron #1 from myself and @johnjpearson.bsky.social today.
My office chair of twenty years is past its best and I think it’s time for a new one. Any recommendations?
FREE COMIC! Ahead of The Patron #1 ‘s FOC this coming Monday . Myself, @johnjpearson.bsky.social & @ignitionpress.bsky.social are thrilled to offer The Patron Cold Open a free download. Download and enjoy! ignitionpress.myflodesk.com/freepatronco...

I hearby declare September 9th “Christian Ward Day” with 3 big releases… The Forever Home #1 with @sami-kivela.bsky.social from @oni-press.bsky.social The Patron #2 with @johnjpearson.bsky.social from @ignitionpress.bsky.social And the soft cover of Batman : City of Madness from @dc.com
Shady practise to lock the special features behind this steel book edition of One Battle After Another but if any film was worth the double dip
One thing I believe this book will do is finally give @sami-kivela.bsky.social his flowers. Sami is incredible, we first worked together 7 years ago on my debut book as writer, Machine Gun Wizards and he’s only got better since. In Forever Home he’s on another level!
The Patron is the most personal book I’ve ever written. It’s both a love letter to Art & a warning about the threats to it. An unpredictable serial killer thriller about the uneasy relationship between art & capitalism featuring career best work from @johnjpearson.bsky.social FOC is next Monday!
Bought a bunch of novels that I’ll likely never read but all sound fantastic.
