The Black Archive @blackarchive.co.uk · 3d

Out now in paperback, ebook and the usual combo deal - THE MYSTERIOUS PLANET, Black Archive #79, written by Jez Strickley!

A much under-rated story and Bob Holmes' last full script, MP is packed with duality - and for once, it's not just his dodgy double acts!

I don’t think an anime opening has ever made me laugh so hard.

“Yaiba of all things got a remake” first of all the Yaiba remake whips ass and is fun.

Excited to announce that this is coming out in Fall 2026! I don't think I can say exactly when yet, but it's exciting to know that I AM THE NIGHT: BATMAN AND THE ANIMATED REVOLUTION is becoming more and more of a real thing.

I AM VENGEANCE.

I AM THE NIGHT.

I AM (writing a) BATMAN (book!)

An audiobook about a podcast?

And at least one of them is haunted… 👻

The amazing @tamoorh.com is back to tell my seasonal short story about a popular paranormal podcast - COULDN’T SCARE LESS!

So many people would go wild for you guys doing that. It's the The Room of the anime fandom. Just gotta get someone to renew the US license and get that beautiful beautiful dub track.

It’s wild to see the two extremes.

Already on a quest to get @rifftrax.com to do Garzey’s Wing (come on @discotekmedia.bsky.social this could be the funniest rights acquisition ever) so I’m not sure it’d be ethical of me to attack twice. 🤣

Was recently catching up to The Water Magician and the action stopped for a whole page at one point to explain why ice is slippery and that’s it. Same pacing. Same pointless inclusions. We could be reading but you read a wiki article and you have a quota.

I’m reading a Dan Brown novel (it’s for @372pages.bsky.social shut up) and I’ve just realized what the big pointless info dumps remind me of.

Light novels.
