New pinned post time!

I'm Liam and I write television and comic books. Here's a handful of previews of some of my published work below (with all my lovely collaborators names included) but it's growing all of the time. Lots of exciting stuff coming soon. Reach out if you want to talk!

Yes, Heidi! I’ve been asking this same question. I can’t bin that many items but it’ll take me ages to earn enough coins for storage.

Finally finished Death Stranding 2’s story. Utterly bonkers in the best way with a ton of heart too. Can’t wait to see what Kojima does next and I might even push through for the Platinum now.

I appreciate the correction. Is my face red. The point still stands though, incredibly talented person.

For me? Martin Short as Dracula and Steve Martin as Val Helsing.

Liam Johnson @liamjohnsontype.bsky.social · 1d

Fun game for the spooky period, recast scenery-chewing Gary Oldman’s Dracula and Anthony Hopkins’s Val Helsing from Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Oh man, I was busy yesterday and I thought people were just posting Drew Struzan art for fun. His art defined my childhood and the first thing I did when I got my own place was hang and frame these two posters (alongside a A New Hope one). Still got them up two moves later.

Lovely preview page of Staz and I’s Armitage tale! Can’t wait to get my hands on my sub copy.

This week is a major milestone for British comics, as Judge Dredd Megazine celebrates 35 years since it debuted back in 1990.

For example, every reference talks about how celebrated he *is* rather than *was* and when people are scoffing at his privilege, no says “RIP though, he did save half the universe and sacrifice himself.” Small thing but makes it feel removed.

Liam Johnson @liamjohnsontype.bsky.social · 3d

Finally started Ironheart. Only watched episode 1 but it’s off to a strong start! It’s really got itself a voice and The Hood is one of my favourite Marvel villains, great to see him in Live Action. It’s a bit weird all the Tony Stark references sound like he’s alive though.

“Are you comfortable taking instructions from Eds?”

Liam Johnson @liamjohnsontype.bsky.social · 5d

Wife “Can you make lunch?”
Me “I’m not sure, this one feels pretty pivotal to the story. Might be a long one.”
Wife “It’s a robot dancing to heavy metal?”
Me “Exactly.”

Liam Johnson @liamjohnsontype.bsky.social · 5d

I feel like I’m finally closing in on the end of Death Stranding 2 as the cutscenes have taken on a The Bear quality. They could be twenty minutes, they could be an hour and half. You just never know…
