Jeremy Hyler • Your 2025 Mini-Comic Of The Year Competition WINNER!
IC3 • March 15, 2025 • New Haven CT
Indie Comics Creator Con 2025 was something truly special — but one of the most humbling moments came during the announcement of the Mini-Comic of the Year winner.
So many incredible creators entered the competition, and it felt more like a celebration of talent and community than a contest of winners and losers.
But when I announced Jeremy Hyler as the winner, the raw emotion in the room was unforgettable. It was one of those moments — pure, powerful, and full of heart. If you haven’t already, take a moment to congratulate Jeremy and let him know how much his work means to this community. He truly earned it.
