The Never-Ending, Four-Color Festival: Cons, Shows, Events



By Tom Spurgeon

* this programming from The Projects looks like fun.

* I can't remember if I linked to this report on Mix 2012 or not. It's not like it's a bad thing to link to it again.

* there are Collective Memory entries for both NYCC and APE rolling out this week on the site. It's been fascinating to do those for the last 18 months or so because of a severe drop-off in blog-content being generated, one would guess in favor of noting such events on Facebook or via Twitter. There was a ton of media at NYCC; almost no comics-reportage being done at APE, not really. I'm not casting aspersions, because if I wanted to see more APE coverage I could have certainly gone up and there and done some. But I do find it worth noting that NYCC has pressed that obvious media advantage.

* there was more publishing-news type stuff out of the NY show than I thought there might be reading the ramp-up, which is good, and is also another obvious advantage in terms of where that show takes place and when in the calendar.

* I'm anticipating how The Projects might go this weekend. I'm all for alternatives to the flea-market model finding purchase, even as much as I've come to accept and even love the flea-market model. I wish them luck.
