Recent coverage:- 1 Dec 2008: HeavyInk president Travis Corcoran is quoted about tax policy alongside anarco-capitalist economist David Friedman in US News:
The Internet used to be a haven from taxes and fees... prominent libertarian David Friedman says that users hit by higher taxes will vote with their feet and switch states or even countries: "Unless [governments] are willing to put up a Berlin Wall, or the equivalent, if their tax rates are high or their regulations are oppressive, or something their citizens don't like—lo and behold, they'll find someplace else."

"I don't mind paying for services that are delivered. But I don't see any connection between Internet sales tax and any service that the government is providing," says Travis Corcoran... Starting in his Arlington, Mass., house, Corcoran created two online businesses from scratch. His DVD rental service, SmartFlix.com, and comic book store, HeavyInk.com, now bring in about $1.25 million per year.

- 20 Nov 2008: A glowing review at Wired:
I've always been a little disappointed in the comic books shops near where I live
I had tried doing some shopping at Web stores, but had never been very happy with selection or service -- until now. Recently, I found a site that has pretty much everything I've ever wanted in an online comics store, and some other things I hadn't even thought about...
HeavyInk is unique in the fact that it not only sells comics, but it also is heavy on customer-friendly policies and features that position them as being the premier comics destination on the Web....
What's more, HeavyInk's pricing is very friendly - every item is 20% off and shipping is free [EDITOR: Free Shipping has been replaced with 99¢ Shipping since this article was written], no matter what the size of the order. Subscribe to as many series as you want and cancel any subscription or order up to when it ships. Ordering all cover variations is as easy as checking a box and their search makes it easy to find an author, no matter how you spell Mark Miller ... er ... Millar.
Plus, they've got such a wide selection, I can also pick up the Archie, Scrooge McDuck & Power Pack books I'm indoctrinating my kids with.
