Still sad, almost 10 years later, my former store finished second the year they cut the number of winners back from 2 to 1. I would have thought Comicopia would have won already.

Glad to see it get recognition. It's a real class act and quite a well structured store. Plus they're quite good at cons. One funny bit, at Anime Boston, just before the dealer's room closed, they started to play The Final Countdown. Comicopia is a fantastic store. Glad to see it get recognition.

They run a clean, well-organized store; offer Saturday art instruction; program the ever-lovin' heck out of FCBD; and, of course, offer a wide selection of merchandise! Has anyone made a Google Earth map of past and present nominees? When I travel, I always like to stop at comics stores.
