TJIC,
I'm just concerned about the sustainability of the industry when its retailers, who have circled the drain for more than a decade, face such harsh competition from online ventures. So perhaps ComicScout is a compromise between what comic fans are looking for and what comic retailers are looking for.

I won't belittle the business plan behind HeavyInk. It's just that the comic book industry, historically, hasn't been very adaptable in the face of market forces.

Now, there are those comic fans who have to travel 50 miles to the closest comic book store. If HeavyInk can put books into their hands, more power to you.

If you're interested in similar functionality but want to continue supporting your local comic book shop, there's always comicscout.com
