Comic Critique dot com on my Sub-Mariner!

The fine people over at ComicCritique.com just did a very concise Best of 2009 over on their site, and they liked my Sub-Mariner story for Marvel's Strange Tales enough to name it for one of the top 5 short stories of last year! Holy shit, Batman!

Strange Tales just came out last month in a beautiful hardcover, it's a gorgeous book. Here's what they had to say:

DEMO #5
Written by BRIAN WOOD • Art and cover by BECKY CLOONAN

DEMO - Waterbreather

DEMO #4
Written by BRIAN WOOD • Art and cover by BECKY CLOONAN

Rocketship!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out, everyone who wanted to come out and couldn't make it, and everyone who found out about it too late and wished they could have gone! I had a great time, I might have had a lot to drink, and by the end of the night I ended up with a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine and Alex Cox's tie. Don't worry, I'm keepin' it classy!
