Festivals Extra: Denver Convention Explosion In Growth Causes 5K+ Turnaway At One Point

ICv2.com has a short write-up here about the explosive growth experienced by Denver Comic Con this year, including the fact that at one point thousands of fans were turned away for basic fire marshal-type reasons. That's always super deeply unfortunate when it happens, to the point that I think the suckiness needs to be emphasized just to counter the "wow, we're doing awesome" spin that those kinds of incidents generate. Still, it looks like the Comic Con model is a very successful right now, with opportunities in a lot of markets. What opportunities this provides comics, and what kinds of comics stand to benefit, is much more difficult to grasp.
