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

By Tom Spurgeon

* it's pretty much the pause before the storm that is Wonder Con and the traditional start of the North American con year. With Emerald City coming hot on the heels of that show, we're pretty much at a full gallop by April Fool's Day. I think Wonder Con is an interesting show this year, for the move to Anaheim and for other reasons, and I hope to provide a pretty full preview in this space next week.

* in the meantime, I'm sure there are comics-type things to be found at the Chicago Zine Fest. There a bunch of interesting, growing shows in that part of the country now, and that's a good thing.

* Geek Girl Con has its August dates.

* I think all comics events need barbecues.

* finally, in a month devoted to forging more significant ties between creators and their creations, how can I resist an Image Expo report all about meeting creators?
