Komacon is a really cool concept. Take 6 veteran American writers and team them with 6 up and coming artists from Korea to come up with a fresh, creative idea. The result is a fresh, inventive approach.
The stories each a few pages in length and the art styles range all over the place, from painted to pen and ink to idiosyncratic style. There is not a badly drawn story in the book, and the writing pairs up nicely with each.
It's hard to pick a favorite, but it might either be Fire Dog by Colleen Doran and illustrated by Hae Mi Jang, with it's story of a world with a dying sun, and the blind girl who might save everyone, or Smoker by Ben McCool with it's Bill Sienkiewicz inspired art by Jun-Hyuk Choi. Suffice to say, all the stories are great and wonderful introduction to these emerging talents.

All the stories in this book were pretty decent and really well written. Nothing earth shattering, but very nicely done. Definitely worth a read!
