Taking a break from the absolute mayhem of New York Comic Con to say

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

to three New York Times Bestsellers:

Broxo, by Zack Giallongo

 

Sailor Twain, by Mark Siegel

 

And guest star Hope Larson, whose graphic novel adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time was published by our sister imprint, Farrar, Straus and Giroux

It’s a heck of a way to kick off New York Comic Con!

 

In other news, have you been following Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong? It’s a collaboration between Friends With Boys author/artist Faith Erin Hicks and newcomer Prudence Shen, and it’s being serialized online right now! When it’s done, we’ll publish it as a gorgeous graphic novel, just like we did with Friends With Boys.The authors are blogging regularly as the webcomic updates, and, as expected, there are some real gems of blog entries.

I especially liked this blog post from Prudence Shen about the anxiety of being a teenager. As a former anxious teenager (still anxious, no longer a teen), I related.
