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



By Tom Spurgeon

* Long Beach Comic Expo shares some numbers.

* it's SPX all the time right now, with the show leaning into independent comics expression and younger comics-makers for years and years now settling into its North Bethesda Marriott location over the week. Hugging and squeeing and things that "are everything" to follow. I'll be down there being fat and dyspeptic, as well as enjoying the excellent array of guests. Hope to see you there.

* here's a preview article from before last weekend's show that serves as a snapshot into the Rose City show's culture. Seeing as being a part of Rose City was a reason why the city's initial independents-focused show fractured with Linework NW being the primary destination of the more hardcore arts crowd, it's worth checking in on how RCCC perceives itself. A family-friendly show with Stan Lee as guest is a really specific goal to have, and bless them for reaching those goals with 10X growth in five years.

* Luc Boyce makes suggestions on artists not to miss at SPX.

* finally, Comic-Con International is buying buildings. There's an update on the Desmond and Rogers salaries in the that article as well.
