Comic book-themed eatery to open 1st U.S. location in Valley

ComicX, a Mexico-based chain of comic book-themed restaurants, will open its first U.S. location this summer at Desert Ridge Marketplace in northeast Phoenix.

The family-friendly restaurant, bar, and store will occupy an 8,000 square-foot space between Sweet Tomatoes and Majerle’s Sports Bar.

ComicX debuted in Hermosillo, Sonora, in 2010 and now operates 36 locations in Mexico.

Despite its origin, the restaurant serves a menu of burgers, pizza, pasta, and other entrees.

It has a full bar, arcade games, and a store that sells comic book collectibles.
