the fnaf movie novelization is ofc v different in multiple ways to the movie itself bc it's shows inner thoughts and things, and alternative versions of scenes (Aka some lines are like what the test audiences didnt like so they cut) but its also a lot funnier in certain aspects
#case in point: william calls himself daddy#also when willy makes his entrance in his fursuit and mike just#IT H A S TO BE A MAN BC HES MOVES S O F L U I D L Y#AND HES S O S T R O N G#like for a man who spends the ENTIRE book thirsting after vanessa. like mans knows he killed his bro and still#took the time to basically say men are hot#like dat aint straight mike#its also awkward af since thats your dad in other universes but#even placing it in JUST this secular universe with no other influences from the games from the books anything#boy he killed your brother and drove your parents insane why u--#anyways its absolutely hilarious and mike is a wreck#fnaf movie novelization spoilers#is it tho ik it like just officially released but it wasnt strict on sale so its actually been out almost a month#i got it like two weeks before the release date bc its not strict on sale#so as soon as we get it it can go out#and i preordered it lMAO#i also have the behind the scenes of the movie book on preorder that im longingly waiting for#idk who remembers in 2016 when i posted all the og S/uicide S/quad movie bts shit from#the novelization and the bts book and also the graphic novels that came w some versions#but yknow#i can do it again#when i figure out where i put the book bc i put ti down after reading it and immediately lost it#but i took photos of some rly funny willy bits so

So excited to finally reveal the cover for my graphic novel Strange Bedfellows and announce that it's open for pre-orders! Releasing March 4th, 2025.
Oberon must choose between fantasy and reality when he develops the ability to conjure his dreams in real life--including the facsimile of the boy who got away.
To order it from a local seller and support a small business, you can do so through this link on bookshop.
It's also currently cheaper to order it here than major retailers!
you can also find it at major retailers here, though I always suggest ordering locally when you can!
These are just North American links so far--I will be following up when and where it will be available to order internationally shortly.
Pre-ordering makes a huge difference to a book's success. Enough pre-orders can mean a book ends up on a best-sellers in its week of release, which is huge for visibility!
If you don't have the financial means to preorder, you can still help by sharing with your friends or requesting the book at your local library. Most libraries have online request forms these days, making the process super easy.
I put a lot of love and hard work into this book, I can't wait to share it with you all.

I think it's been crossposted already but guess I should post this here as well! The cover for The Raven Boys graphic novel I have been working on for the last couple of years is finally out! If you're wondering why I haven't posted art in a while it's because all I've been doing is drawing these kids non-stop (in between teaching, and pottery, and following my chickens around).
It has been such a pleasure to work on and an enormous amount of pressure to get them just right. It's an impossible but worthy goal, and as a fan of the books myself I know just how much people care about this series. I hope once you get to see it in August 2025 you'll be rewarded for the wait. You can read more about the book here, and find preorder links here.
#the raven cycle#the raven boys#my art#it's funny revisiting this cover -- i wrapped work on this book and have been focussing on tdt for a while now.#fun to see people dissecting it for clues and being like 'oh yeah! that IS why i did x or y'#good reminder of how detail-oriented this fanbase is#noted with only a little bit of fear

Interview with Mad Rupert, author of Sakana
September 2023
Sakana, the story of life and love in a fish market, is coming back from its hiatus soon! The strip comic style webcomic began in 2010 and follows Jiro, Taisei, Yuudai, and Chie as they navigate their relationships and learn to face their feelings. We asked creator Mad Rupert, author of Robber Robert and artist of Bunt!, for an interview to celebrate the series return.
Read Sakana | Shop books & merch | Read more Hiveworks comics
Sakana has been your baby for 13 years. What has the webcomic journey been like for you over the past decade?
It really has been over a decade, hasn’t it! There have certainly been ups and downs, periods where I was updating as much as I could, and also long hiatuses. I feel like webcomics have always been an amazing space to practice my craft and stretch my writing and drawing skills alike. You can kind of do anything you like with webcomics, and oftentimes people come up with wackier, and imho more interesting concepts than if they were beholden to a large publisher. Not that I haven’t made my fair share of traditionally-published comics and graphic novels… but there’s just something so gratifying about coming up with your own wild story and working towards its end on your own time. Webcomics are incredibly tough and time consuming, but also the ultimate form of self expression.
What is the origin of Sakana? What made you want to tell this story?
Sakana actually started as a class project when I was a junior at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I had been accepted into the Sequential Art department’s yearly Japan trip to study comics and cartooning in Tokyo for a few weeks, and our final project was to create 11 comic strips based off of something that made a strong impact on us during the trip. We had visited the old inner market (now demolished) of the Tsukiji Fish Market at 4am one morning, and it was the most incredible place I’d ever been, so I decided to craft a short story that took place in the market. Beyond the first 11 strips, I decided to continue the story for as long as I could as a way to practice the comic techniques I was learning in class. That was over a decade and 600 strips ago! It really has become the most ambitious project I’ve ever undertaken.
Do you have the ending already written? Do you see a conclusion in sight?
Yes! I’ve always had something at least resembling an end in mind throughout most of the comic’s lifespan. For a long-format comic like SAKANA, I think it’s very important to have a rough ending planned out as early as possible, otherwise it becomes difficult to keep the narrative moving in a satisfying direction, drop little tidbits of plot that will pay off later, or even maintain your enthusiasm for the project. To be clear, the details of Sakana's “end” have changed many times, which is only natural with a very long project like this. But I’ve always kept crucial details the same: basically certain characters in a certain place at a certain time doing certain things (to keep from getting too spoilery haha.) HOW they get there, WHY they’re there, and WHAT exactly they’re doing will ebb and flow as the years go by and I myself get older and older. But having a general sense of the end in mind has kept things moving all this time. The story’s got one more volume to go, and then I’ll be done!
Your hiatus is a result of working on a traditionally published graphic novel, coming in 2024. Is there anything you can tell us about your book?
My new graphic novel is called Bunt! and it’s a collaborative effort between myself and my dear pal, Ngozi Ukazu (author of popular webcomic Check, Please!) Ngozi wrote the book and I drew it, and we’re both really proud of what we’ve made! It’s already available for preorder all over the place and it will officially be out in stores in February 2024. We’re really looking forward to getting out there this fall and winter and spreading the word about it!
You recently successfully completed a Kickstarter for an 18+ comic, Robber Robert, as well. What is it like balancing these different narratives, genres, and mediums of publishing comics?
It’s definitely been a struggle at times to balance everything, and I definitely don’t recommend working on 3 giant projects at the same time! I finally had to admit that I couldn’t do it all at once, which led to me putting Sakana and RR on hiatus to finish Bunt!, and then keeping Sakana on hiatus while I finished up RR. I really burned myself out on comics for a while, and it’s been a huge struggle to get myself back to a good place with my work. Finishing Bunt! and RR Chapter 1 has really helped reenergize me, but I can always feel myself trying to overload my work schedule again and again. It’s my greatest weakness as a professional artist.
What keeps you inspired?
Making something for myself, practicing my craft, and putting my own stories out there are all huge driving forces in my life. Learning to stop overwhelming myself with work has also helped a lot. Looking back on all the art I’ve made and all the different things I’ve tried makes me feel like I can do anything I put my mind to, so long as I give myself the time and space to enjoy the process.
Do you have any webcomic or graphic novel recommendations?
I’m a big fan of anything fantasy or sci-fi, especially if the narrative approaches the fantastical elements in a weird, unique, and kind of gay way haha. My favorite manga is currently Delicious in Dungeon, but I’m also a fan of historical series like Golden Kamuy and Bride’s Story. For webcomics, I love anything by Evan Dahm, like his long-format series Rice Boy and Vattu. As for Hiveworks comics, there’s too many to list individually but my current favorites are Fairmeadow by KP, and Tiger, Tiger by Petra Nordlund.
Any advice for new readers of Sakana?
I would say…despite its high page count, it’s not that long of a read! The strip format keeps it moving at a pretty quick clip when read all at once (but it certainly didn’t feel like that over the last 13 years updating one page at a time!) I know that the format and the black and white rendering might feel a little dated in the current era of Webtoons and full-color stories, but I’m too stubborn to change now, and I really appreciate anybody giving it a shot! Also, no matter who you are, or how much you dislike him in the beginning, Yuudai will probably be your favorite character.
You can read Sakana for free at sakana-comic.com and print books are available at hivemill.com

"To my dearest international readers — I cannot express how huge of a part you guys played in making my dreams come true. Thank you so much for being here and loving Mitsuki & Aya for a whole entire year, they’re going to be printed 💚" x x @agu_knzm
Preorder: Amazon Japan | Kadokawa | Honto
Publisher : KADOKAWA (April 19, 2023) Publication date : April 19, 2023 Language : Japanese Tankobon Hardcover : 180 pages ISBN-10 : 4046817321
And an ebook too which might be a good way for non-Japanese readers to support while waiting for official translations.
The USD is so strong I just pre-ordered it WITH shipping for only $24 total. Which is likely around what Kinokuniya would sell it for if they ever got it in stock. I don't want to leave anything up to chance.
Update:
Woah. It was ranked #760 something for graphic novels when I first looked last night. #1 for all books?
#the guy she was interested in wasn't a guy at all#tgswiiwagaa#manga#it's happening you guys#published#hoping kinokuniya imports it#ki ni natteru hito ga otoko janakatta#green manga
