Too much, too soon? Publishers Weekly (subscription required) files its report on the MoCCA Art Festival, focusing on concerns that the event might be expanding too quickly:

"This year the festival expanded to two days and while the general mood was upbeat, some exhibitors suggested that MoCCA might be growing too fast. Few of even the prominent indie presses could afford a table at the Harvey Awards banquet, and there was the usual grumbling about booth setups. More seriously, although sales were strong, some presses told PW they weren't that much higher than last year's one-day show, while booths were double the price. It's clear that finding the right balance among indie presses, corporate comic strip syndicates and so-called mainstream comics publishers remains an ongoing process."

The article also highlights Craig Thompson's unannounced appearance, long lines for signings at the Drawn & Quarterly and Alternative Comics booths, and the debut of Eric Shanower's Age of Bronze: Sacrifice.
