Good news! The good folk at Green Brain Comics have announced that SNAP! will be back for a second go around, once again bringing a taste of a mini-comix and small press festival to our little corner of southeast Michigan (Dearborn, to be precise). I went last year and it was a great show; I met lots of good artists and picked up some good comix too. (recap 1, recap 2, recap 3, recap 4)
If you're in the area, circle Saturday, November 4, 2006 on your calendars and plan on attending!

New This Week: July 12, 2006
Based on the NCRL list for this week's comics shipping from Diamond, here are a few things to look for at the local comic shop tomorrow:The Pick of the Week is Ait/PlanetLAR's collection of the early issues of Shatter by Peter Gillis & Mike Saenz. Back in 1985 Shatter was the very first comic with artwork completely done on computer (a first-gerneation Mac) which gives it a novelty factor, but it's a darn good action/cyberpunk yarn too.
