WirePop -- www.wirepop.com -- announced today the new webcomic "Dans L'Metro," by Hwei Lim, will be joining the webcomic line-up on WirePop.com, the growing Manga and Manga-styled webcomic subscription magazine.

“When you look at Hwei Lim’s comics you are hard-pressed to decide if it’s fine art or a form of entertainment.” said George Panella, WirePops’ Publisher “Her comics have a really unique artful and flowing style that is like no other. When she sent in her submission for Dans L’Metro we made sure we got her onto WirePop. Besides her captivating painted art-style her stories are deep and very thought-out. When you look at the cover image for Dans L’Metro you get a sense of play and eeriness as the character floats there in midair.”
