The shelf at Zeus Comics. More photos on

The Breaking Comics crew ventured out into the great DFW area to capture the first Indy Comic Book Week event. We visited Madness Comics and Games who hosted Nate Bramble and Matthew Warlick for the day. Madness is a great shop that really lives up to their name. They have as many games as they do comics. It's a great variety of merchandise that really caters to the geek in all of us. Next was Keith's Comics at their flagship store on Mockingbird. Signing earlier was Mike Hankins of Dorm Dorks and in the afternoon was Joe Eisma with his friends from Outlaw Entertainment. Titan Comics was hosting Jake Ekiss and Michael Lagocki at their store on NW Hwy. And we finally dropped by Zeus's Comics on Lemon. The Zeus crew was doing a read through for their next episode of The Variants, a great webshow about working in a comic shop.
All in all the spread was pretty awesome and the shops said they did fairly well with ICBW. Whether or not this will turn around into an annual event only time will tell. But for now we were able to see a great grassroots effort take hold and made itself a nice home in the independent comic book scene.
