Following up on our publication of
Kev Sutherland's take on this year's Bristol Comic Expo, which has generated plenty of comment here, on
my Facebook page and in the original Quality Communications forum where the former convention organiser posted his views, we've now published
David Baillie's report on the event
on the main downthetubes site.
"Even if you weren't there, you've probably heard by now that due to the knock on effects of the global credit crunchie this year's Bristol Comics Expo was a slightly reduced affair, he notes. "This might seem a shame, especially given that this was the event's tenth birthday, but I'm here to tell you that smaller is sometimes better."
David opines that the success of any mainstream comics event can be judged by how well it performs in seven specific criteria including a good mix of events, social networking and, of course, comics!
