Discontinued

MIX was enjoyed by attendees and exhibitors for two years, in 2010 and 2011. Event organizers planned a hiatus for 2012 and in that time decided to discontinue the event, for reasons unrelated to the event's success.

We thank you all for your support, and will continue to promote comics-related happenings in Minnesota via our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Minneapolis is a great place for comics. As one of the most literate cities in the nation, Minneapolis supports several large book and comics festivals each year. The Minneapolis Indie Xpo has been proud to call it home.

The Twin Cities metro area is home to at least 11 different comic shops, including a few Will Eisner Spirit of Retail Award winners. See all that Minneapolis has to offer a cartoonist on our Minneapolis Comics Scene google map.

The Minneapolis Indie Xpo has welcomed independent cartoonists and publishers, the people whose sweat and cash directly support their creative habits. We are grateful for those who supported us, supporting them.
