Big Wow ComicFest 2013 – Spotlight
Boston Metaphysical Society
The web-comic “Boston Metaphysical Society” created by Madeleine Holly-Rosing is a very cool supernatural steampunk mystery. The two main characters, Samuel Hunter and Caitlin O’Sullivan, are pretty much steampunk ghost-busters. Skillfully written and gorgeously illustrated, this excellent work is something you should keep your eye on. There are currently 2 issues out of the planned 6, with issue 3 well under way.

Poor Mick
“Poor Mick” by Kat Martin is all about Mick, the luckless sailor. This guys has the worst luck, bordering on supernaturally bad! Join Mick on his journey to cure his rotten fortune in this lovely comic. Drawn in traditional media and colored with water-color, this truly beautiful comic captures the sea and its denizens in jaw dropping style. Be sure to read the comic on PoorMick.SmackJeeves.com and check out Kat’s website KatMartin.net where you can see her other work and even purchase some!
Ferric Press
We chatted with CEO and head writer of Ferric Press Chris Williamson about his two exciting projects “Gevaudan” and “Ferrous Bloom”. Gevaudan follows the story of French peasants terrorized by a Wolf-like creature. This comic is ambitiously written completely in rhyme, and illustrated with great skill. Next, Bloom is an excellent detective story taking place in a fully realized high tech future. Chris’s comics were some of our favorites from Big Wow this year.
