MoCCA Fest Pile 3.0

More MoCCA Fest reviews. (See the mocca2009 tag for all coverage.)

The Boston Comics Roundtable just published INbound #3, another collection from Boston-area cartoonists. The happy dancing cover is by former Boston resident Matthew Reidsma of High Maintenance Machine, and there's lots of great contributions including "Fear" by Chris O'Neill, the quantum physics laced "From Afar" by Dan Mazur, and "An Afternoon Session" by Hyun Supul. However, I think I was most moved by the one page untitled comic by Franklin Einspruch. Good design, heavy paper, and again, that great cover make it an anthology to pick up.

One of the artists I liked in INbound #2 was Cathy Leamy. Her latest mini is Geraniums and Bacon #5, and includes the tale of attending the annual Filene's "Running of the Brides" wedding gown sale, just for the hell of it (pictured). Fun!

Papercutter is an long-running (hey, 3+ years is eons in the small publishing scene) quarterly comic anthology out of Portland that continues to satisfy. Issues #9 and #10 have come out since last year's SPX. Issue #9 features Aron Nels Steinke, Elijah Brubaker, and Hellen Jo; Issue #10 has Damien Jay, Jesse Reklaw, and Minty Lewis.

Here's a few samples from the issues:
