I'm not sure there's a whole lot that jumps out at to me on that list. There are three stores from the wider Phoenix area, a traditional comics retail hotbed that's seen better days. Comix Experience and the TFAW in Beaverton are high-profile stores -- there are three our four from the next tier down, too. There are also two not-North America stores, which delights the audience at the Eisners. Seriously, those would win the audience award every single time.
