Alt-Publishers Firm Up APE Plans

The Alternative Press Expo is an advertiser here, but word of who is doing what and when at the first of the big three alternative-type shows of the year is kind of scattered hither and yon around the Internet. Here's a start:

* APE Aftermath at Isotope
* APE$#!T art show on Friday night
* APE's "Other Events" Round-Up (broken down by day)
* Buenaventura Press
* Fantagraphics (on-hand talent, Mome afterparty)
* Laughing Squid
* Lark Pien
* Matt Hollis
* Shane White
Slave Labor
* TCJ.com thread including Sparkplug, Renee French, Allied Ink (whoa), AdHouse, Global Hobo among others

Although I thought my having done the above in link form would engender more of the same, I'm afraid due to the rush of press releases I must restrict this to link-only notices. I could have done one or two, but not eight. Sorry! Everybody's on-line now, right? Send me a link to your APE plans.

As far as books, I'm sure most publishers will have one or two new things. Two I've heard about I would definitely seek out if I were there are Renee French's long-awaited The Ticking from Top Shelf and a new book by Mats!? called Asiaddict that Sparkplug and Ben Catmull have co-published. (I'm about due for my once- or twice-yearly mainstream comics shopping spree, so I'd probably buy some of those, too.)
