J. Caleb Mozzocco reviews Wonderland by Tommy Kovac and Sonny Liew at Blog@Newsarama. Originally published as a six-issue miniseries, Wonderland has been collected as a very pretty hardbound edition by Disney. Mozzocco is impressed how Tommy and Sonny retain their individual style and vision while doing a comic based on a licensed property. "Thinking about it now, I’m having a difficult time thinking of another set of creators who have been given such a challenging task in producing a licensed comic book, and met it with such a superior answer as they do in Wonderland," he concludes.
Tommy Kovac is also interviewed about Wonderland at The New Straits Times, a Malaysian newspaper.
On the non kids-friendly front, Tommy's Skelebunnies has also been reviewed recently, by the print magazine Booklist. Review Ray Olson writes:
"One pretty day, two sassy li’l bunnies scamper out to play. Just too cute! So a demon sent by Satan barfs acid on them, dissolving their flesh. Presto, they’re skelebunnies! Soon, they’ve agreed to work for Satan. Their task: “KILL anything cute and furry.” “Like mold?” the boy skelebunny asks, indicating the kind of minions they intend to be: mouthy, annoying, perverse, unreliable. But so what? Waited on by the Woobies (teeny doughboy-like critters that come in three varieties: mushroom, bat, and devil) and Pretty-Pretty Pony Macabre, the marvelous flying unicorn zombie, they don’t need Satan. And, besides, Satan’s gay. But boy skelebunny’s gay, too. And Kovac makes three. While it helps to know and appreciate bitchy gay humor, all you really need to fall for the skelebunnies is the same wry tolerance for perverse silliness that other bad-boy comics require. Meanwhile, Kovac’s graphic style, detailed and busy but completely legible, is as masterly as Satan tries to be with all the Super-Handsome Fantasy Lads he conjures up to really serve him."
