A few people have asked how to support SAORSA before it launches.

The most helpful thing right now is clicking “Notify me on launch” on the Kickstarter pre-launch page.

It doesn’t cost anything, but it genuinely makes a difference for indie projects.

Hello!

I'm looking for a Colourist and Letterer for SAORSA (Kickstarter launching Feb 3.)

This is not a superhero project, grounded, Noir, real-world colours.

Lettering, we are looking to allow the tension to breathe.

Comment or message with examples and page rate.

Thank you.

SAORSA isn’t built around spectacle.

It’s built around pacing, restraint, and trusting the reader.

Aimee Wilson doesn’t believe the world is finished.

Even when it’s fractured.
Even when it hurts.

A place built from old stories, stubborn care, and the belief that some things are worth preserving, even when the world starts to crack.

One week out from the launch of SAORSA.

Grateful for everyone who's followed the process far.

Excited to share more content over the next seven days.

I had a really good chat on the Indie Creator Podcast about SAORSA, indie comics, and what it’s actually like trying to build creator-owned work in public.

Honest conversation about process, pressure, and persistence.

Had to have extra coffee this morning. But all for good reasons.

Had a great chat with Angel & John (Indie creator comics podcast) last night about SAORSA, the Kickstarter and Scottish actors being played by non Scots.

Releases Wednesday, in the meantime here's the site.

Also had the pleasure to check out Tomb Raider thanks to comics bulletin. I can tell, Lara is far from done with the field.

Thanks to comic book yeti for allowing me to review this. A great read with some must see art.

A very different introduction than most (unless you hail from similar lands) but 13 year old me spent a lot of time at the But 'n' Ben

Thank you to Hilina & the team at Scatterhead comics for giving me an inside look at what they are building. It's pretty special.

Really grateful to Comics Bulletin for the chance to review this.

A sharp, brutal opener that understands Cyberpunk as vulnerability, not power.
January 10, 2026 at 5:35 PM
I’m working on a editorial piece and I’m hoping to connect with Scottish-based comic creators

Nothing too formal. Just conversations about what people are working on and how the scene feels.

If that’s you, or if you know someone who should see this, feel free to reach out or pass along. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Midnight isn't a reset.
New Year’s Eve carries an assumption of safety. It offers a belief that whatever comes next might be better than what came before. In comics, that assumption becomes a target.

This is the Sidhe.

They didn’t arrive with the Collapse.
They were revealed by it.

SAORSA is moving.

What’s the best comic book you’ve read in 2025?

It's been a great year for DC the creative risks paid off. Let me know your thoughts, It's a year where some series were so close in quality, really the top spot was a four way fight.
