Oh, Snap!

Thanks to James Sime at Isotope for bringing this to my attention.

While everyone is going bonkers over the HeroesCon/WW:Atlanta brouhaha (with good reason, if you scroll down on this page), James points out that there's something just as important happening in the world of conventions:

But the most interesting news of the 2005 comic convention season isn't about pop-culture con behemouths pounding each other in the head... the real news is SNAP!

A showcase for indy, small press, and self-published comics in the grand tradition of SPX, MOCCA, and San Francisco's APE Con, SNAP! is designed to showcase local talent and to create a community amongst Midwest indy comic creators and their fans. Founded by Katie and Dan Merritt of the excellent Green Brain Comics, SNAP! stands tall in the eye of the comic convention hurricane, celebrating the artform, the artists, and bringing something truly special to the 2005 comic conventioning season.
