…or that’s what I get from the social media reports, which are brief but positive.

CALA is hopping! Holy Crap.

My review of @comicartsla: a lot of positivity and excitement in a nice, but warm, space. Much diversity among those tabling.

Everyone seemed really stoked to be there and to talk about their comics. Heard multiple people compare it to early MoCCAfests. @ComicArtsLA

Sorry to have only a vague “I quoted some tweets” report, but I didn’t find any more detailed accounts. Did you go? Was it fun? Does LA have a comics show that befits it status at last?

It’s been a long, long year of cons, with new ones springing up every where. The CAF season is winding up with Comic Arts LA on December 6th. A nice posted by Sophia Foster-Dimino has just been unveiled, and the exhibitor list is here. LA hasn’t been entirely successful for indie comics centered events, but with the very vibrant animation scene going on and so many cartoonists moving there to work in animation, I’m guessing the time is now for this.
Of course, con season isn’t REALLY over as you can see from this list. And there’s the Mumbai Film and Comics Convention December 19th, and the winter Comicket kicking off December 28th, and even more events listed here. AND see the next item.

Yes, CALA was definitely a success. You can read my recap at Comics Grinder:

I was a volunteer for CALA, and yes, it was a tremendous success. Not only Groening and Scott McCloud was there, but I also spotted Jaime Hernandez in the crowd. It started out with a solid crowd and great energy and only grew larger as the day progressed. I asked around at the tables, and all the exhibitors were having solid sales, were making connections, having great conversations. If I was one of the four organizers, I would be beaming with pride. Kudos to them for this. L.A. is clearly hungry for this, and it can only get bigger.
CALA was a blast! Attendance (and enthusiasm) was through the roof. My recap is posted here: davidwolter.com
