Out of nine years of BoAs, Austin Books has activated its superpowers to take seven in this category. They've got not only stacks of the faves (enough to keep any kid in Spider-Man or Archie for weeks), but their selection of "indie" or mature-themed comics and graphic novels is impressive. They also house one of the meatiest pop culture book sections in town. This year, they Zowie! Oof! and Pow!ed Dragon's Lair and South Austin's Comics & More, who each made heroic showings.
