With people still coming down from their Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Fest high, another indie show has just announced its plans for 2013. CAKE, the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo, will be held June 15-16, at a new location, Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted, in the Lake View neighborhood of Chicago. CAKE is free to the public and exhibitor applications are now being taken with a deadline of January 1, 2013.

It's a curated show that attempts to show the diversity of Chicago's indie comics heritage.

A few straggler debuts are coming in for this weekend's Brooklyn Comcis and Graphic Fest including The Beat's own Michel Fiffe with COPRA. It's 24 pp, full color and Fiffe expects it to be MONTHLY.

It was a great time for just about everyone, I think. I had a blast at TCAF this year and came away from it completely optimistic about The State of Comics.
