Today, at local comic book shops across the U.S., retailers are highlighting a variety of independent comic books. If you don't know, Diamond Distributors has an effective monopoly on comic book distribution here in the States and is taking some time off the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. Which would normally mean that no new comics are available. But a number of independent creators and publishers (who aren't always best served by Diamond) have gotten together to get their books into comic book shops on the Wednesday that would typically see piles of new Marvel and DC books. So, if you're interested in comics but are bored/disillusioned by the traditional superhero fare that's frequently served up in comics, take some time to stop by one of these comic book shops today -- you're sure to find something that's flying beneath most people's radar, and there's a more than a fair chance that you'll even like some of it!
