TJIC is on Twitter! [Member Since: October 17 '07]

I’m one of the founders of HeavyInk.com.

I live in a house with two dogs, a pile of books and comic books, and
five lathes (three metal lathes and two wood lathes).

The dogs are a 12 year old male Australian Cattle Dog named Strider,
and a 2 year old Corgi / Australian Cattle Dog mix named Ocho.

I was interviewed about HeavyInk over at ComicsReporter.

HeavyInk was profiled in MassHighTech here.

Travis, help me. For some reason I keep getting crash Bang! error whenever I try to access HI from work on my lunch break. What changed? My company doesn’t block it or anything. I go to the site, just get crash bang error.

TJIC said:

There are new “add as friends” buttons in the forums; I click those on everyone I see. Haven’t seen a post by you, I guess. Anyway, rectifying the problem…now!

testimonial for you: “If you live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, but still love comics, this site doesn’t rape you on shipping costs!” you might have to edit it a bit

Samurai Rob says:

Hey, just wanted to say that I’m very impressed with the site! I just switched over from Mile High and I’m eagerly awaiting my first shipment! Bad thing is the DCnU #2’s from u guys will be here before the #1’s from Mile High! Impressive! …Most impressive.

I’m confused. It looks as though the cover pictures for Arkham Reborn #2 and #3 may have been switched. I own #2 and your cover does not match. I want to buy #3 (cover matches my #2) but am hesitant.

CounterAgent says:

Thanks for the reply.

TJIC said:

Hey, thanks for getting in touch. Right now we’re buried under so much other stuff that a site redesign is VERY low on the priority list. I can’t imagine it happening inside of the next 12 months.

CounterAgent says:

Hey, who would I have to talk to about a heavyink site redesign. I emailed you guys a link you might wanna give a look, http://www.beoriginal.com/heavyink
Thanks, love the site, except the style I guess.

Mander says:

That’s awesome. Zombiedictator and I have thought about getting an ACD. They are awesome dogs too. You know you have an awesome dog when there is a comic written after it. :)

TJIC said:

That’s a cute corgi! I’ve got an Australian Cattle Dog, and a half-ACD / half-Corgi myself.

Your blurb says that you get paid to do work that’s similar to reading comic books. What is your job?

Dana says:

I meant Travis! Sorry :P

reply
Dana says:

Hey Trevor,

I was hoping to possibly interview you (preferably over the phone but I could do an e-mail interview as well) about HeavyInk. I’m writing a magazine article for a class at the University of Utah about comic shops vs. their online counter parts. The article is called “In the Comic World, HeavyInk is the New Black”. I love HeavyInk and want to weigh the pros and cons of the online format vs. in store. Your input would help to give the story weight. There is a possibility the story could be published.

I’d need to have the interview finished by Oct. 31. Let me know if you can and if you can’t please point me in the direction of someone who could.

Thanks :)

Dana

I’m kind of confused =| I subscribed to the nightwing comic book. Will it charge me automatically and send me the comic book? or will i have to buy each issue buy clicking the buy button.

thanks and sorry

Dude – you’re buff!

What’sthat thing that you’re man-handling? Some sort of T-bar with plates at the end?

Dana says:

I have tried my best to get my friends into comic books. In fact, I even started a group in my city for the book “Drawing Words and Writing Pictures” (if you haven’t already, you should check it out)so a bunch of people can come together and learn how to create comics. However, I’ve come to find that most of my friends are more into drawing comics than reading them. All I can say is that they’re missing out.

daynah says:

Marketing books always strike me as a whole buck or facts about psychology with no data or sources. The Marketers who write the books are so gosh darn good at their jobs that the students believe it unquestioningly and soak it up like a sponge. If you want a real good basis you marketing, get some kind of major/miner combo in Psychology and Business. Or heck, skip the business altogether, since both marketing and psychology is the study of searning about and controling other people’s minds. I wanted so desperately to be a biopsych major… basically controlling minds with drugs..

The bowl from your May 27th post is awesome! What is the wood and what sort of finish did you put on it?

Thank you for supporting Robotika!

You have created a great thing. Also, I want a corgi, they are big dogs in small packages.

Hey, are you guys planning on setting something up for comic-con (the one in San Diego) this year? This is going to be my first one and I’d be psyched to see something from Heavyink at the con!

He has been rightly chastised.

TJIC said:

Daynah, we are definately going to create T-shirts (including limited edition ones), and because you’ve been such a great customer (blogging, forums, all that good stuff) you were already on the short list to get a freebie in the mail.

Someone (cough) has been a bit tardy in delivering the T-shirt design, so it’s not going to be done in time for your con…but keep checking the <s>skies</s> mailbox!

daynah says:

I will be working at a convention on Memorial Day weekend… and I haven’t decided what to wear yet! The only rule for staff is that we wear… “clothes.” If there were a magical heavyink shirt that existed, I would be very happy to wear it for some of the con (not every day, ew).

Great interview with The Comics Reporter!

You guys were our Knight in Shining Armor with that whole Atomic Robo/Diamond fuck up.

Thanks again for getting the book out to people!!

FrogMan says:

hey there, Gravel has me intrigued but I see it linked to Strange Kiss (and the sequel) on some reviews on the web. I saw you really didn’t like the Kiss books but yet are pulling Gravel. What’s your take on it? Good, not good, interesting? Many thanks in advance.

Duggan says:

Hello – Thanks for ordering, taking the time to read, and then your very thoughtful review of my new comic – THE INFINITE HORIZON. It makes all the difference when a shop owner or in your case – a site operator gets behind an indie book like ours. Thanks for that. I noticed that you’re sold out – I’m sure that’s do to your kind words. I hope you like the rest of the series – issue 2 and the reprint are out in January. Thanks again, and Happy New Year – congrats on this cool site too –
Best,
Gerry Duggan

xkcd is comprised entirely of win. I don’t remember how I discovered it ages ago (I mean, the comic was still in the 20s) but I have since performed exacting and rigorous scientific tests on it. We have confirmed a concentration no lower than 94.27% win with a .03% margin of error.

Hey, do you have a personal e-mail I can write to?

reply
Todd Michael R. says:

When I figure out how and where I’m going to publish it.

I’m actually quite proud of the title, I can’t wait to get the book done and out there… I’ll probably let you guys see it before it’s done, because you’re all so cool and what not

p.s. why are there so many freaking private profiles on here?

Chet says:

This. Is. Cool. I suspect I’m about to spend money on comix again.

jclemons says:

Are you guys going to be offering toys and such, the same that we would find @ a comic shop?

reply
Matt says:

That service vs. price comparison is gonna be a key differentiator when it comes to marketing this bad boy. Also, the usability of this website far surpasses anything else I’ve seen in terms of strict comics retail online—that alone is worth paying for.

I would take a rock-like state over a regular fleshy human one, any day.

When I’m very very mellow, I transform into a regular fleshy human, but the rest of the time I hang out in my rock-like state…

Do you transform into that rock creature when you’re angry, or just whenever?
