I just have to pause in my preparations for Comic-Con (Seriously, why are so many people calling the office right now -- and for silly reasons, like to check on a submission sent two weeks ago or to ask about an obscure comic someone else published in the '80s? Unless you work in the industry, I guess you just don't that now is Not a Good Time to Chat.) to link to this marvelous review of Wonderland at Girls Entertainment Network.

There's ample praise for both writer Tommy Kovac and artist Sonny Liew, with perhaps none higher than this: "If Lewis Carroll were alive today, he would have written Wonderland." And later: "I cannot stress enough how deftly Kovac emotes Carroll’s wit and charm. He’s not just copy and pasting here, he’s added a whole new layer to an already rich universe. Sonny Liew’s art goes the extra mile to make that universe a reality."

Tommy and Sonny will be at Comic-Con, so be sure to check out Wonderland and perhaps a copy to get signed if you're going to be there!

I realize I'm posting this a bit late, but a couple of weeks ago, my column at Publishers Weekly Comics Week was on meeting editors and showing your work at Comic-Con: Tips for Aspiring Comics Pros at Comic-Con.

You might not be able to get replies to your emails to publishers right now, but you still can do some research on them and their submissions policies before you launch yourself into the shuffling crowd, portfolio under your arm.
