MoCCA Haul 2011

This weekend was the annual MoCCA Fest in New York, an event featuring hundreds of small press, self-published, and independent comic creators. It was the perfect thing I needed to shake off the crappy winter blahs. The weather turned out nice and mild, I got a good cheap diner breakfast, and even got to get a snack at the Rickshaw Dumpling Bar. The bus ride back was a bit nerve-wracking and accident-prone, but I made it back in one shaken up piece.

My acquisitions were a bit lighter than they had been in the years past, but I still came home with a great stack of comics to keep me reading.
