New comics for Wednesday 08-03-05

Hey kids! The list is up for next Wednesday's comics
I have a feeling that TOP TEN THE FORTY NINERS HC
is going to get the coveted "Dan's pick of the week".
After reading Promethea Vol 5 last night, I'm all
warmed up for some more of Alan Moore's craziness.

SNAP! The Comic Arts Festival.

“We have been traveling out of state to attend small press comic conventions since we bought our store in 1999. And after each show, we return home with a van full of great comics and more excitement about the art form of comics than we can contain. My partner Katie and I have been so inspired by other shows like SPACE in Columbus OH and SPX in Bethesda MD, we decided to have a our very own small press show in the Detroit area!” says Dan Merritt, “Michigan is home to a host of self-publishing comic creators, and we have created SNAP! to help connect them with a new audience right here in their own backyard”

The goal of SNAP! is to showcase local, self-published and small press comic creators. By doing this we hope to build community for independent creators and encourage communication between creators and their potential audience, all while having a great time in the hometown of Henry Ford, Dearborn Michigan.

Revisionary #1
Written by Paul D. Storrie; art and cover by Eric J.

Making a fortune duping people never bothered Randall Gordon.
Not until the TV psychic was given what he never really wanted -- true precognition!
Haunted by nightmares of the tragedies he doesn't prevent, his 'gift' soon leads him to Vegas
and forces him to ante up in a high stakes game of life and death.
Problem is, having visions of the future is no guarantee you'll live to see it.
