Last month, Andrea Grant was awesome enough to do an
interview with Omnicomic. In the interview, she mentioned an upcoming webcomic called
Ready to Where set to launch in the near future. As of today, that time is now.
Ready to Where features the adventures of Athena Park, editor-in-chief of The Fashion Source, a major online fashion magazine. In such a position of course Athena gets invites to the hot happenings around town while at the same time juggling her life, friends and love. Awwwww....
And it's not a stretch to see some of Grant's influence in the character.
"I started working as a fashion editor 2 years ago," says series creator Andrea Grant. "I've always wanted to do a fashion comic and portray the hilarity of this industry, where people are sometimes caricatures of themselves. Fashion moves so fast, and it infiltrates music, film, art, and design - so of course there's always something epic happening."
You can check out the first issue of the webcomic
here and check out the full press release after the jump.
