February 13, 2008 10:13 pm Sixgun: What model are you speaking about?
February 13, 2008 6:18 pm @CAM - That's how the World Cup was in the US - honestly, North America is amazing for events like those because of our melt-y-pot-ness

@mikegraham6 - Ditto to above.
February 13, 2008 4:43 pm @CAM - did you go to any of the youth WC games?

@Mistersizzle – great comic shops aren’t going anywhere and neither are really nice collected editions, trades and OGNs. The economic model is different.

 

@Ratenef – Digital as marketing tool has a good chance of being the ‘bridge’

@daccampo – Exactly! Exciting time to be a comic creator.

 

@JimFromLima – Yes! Good stuff.

 

@Ulitimatehoratio – Asking me to not talk soccer is like saying, “Don’t breathe.” And speaking of…

 

@CAM – Thanks and I loved the first game where Dichio scored and everyone threw their seatcushions – that was amazing looking on TV! You guys are doing it right… Rumor is you might be getting Craig Bellamy.

@Ultimatehoratio – Yeah, Nightly News is mostly dark, dark satire – don’t take it a face value. Also, I don’t really think that anyone is ‘doing it right’… which was my main point – I don’t think we’re there yet, but it’s worth getting excited about.

 

@Nickmaynard – It’s not just movies, it’s toys, games, marketing rights… Think of the comic companies as a completely separate R&D division. And yes, it’s a totally different conversation : )

 

@Labor – Again, screen problems are because of low resolution and I don’t think you’re going to have to wait as long as you think.

@Jurassicalien – A.) That’s because they’re low resolution (72 dpi) – at some point someone is going to make a high-resolution reader and then you (and I) will be fine. B.) Digital archiving is going to become a huge thing soon… I wouldn’t worry about it.

 

@Marbles – Saw the 2000AD stuff yesterday. We’ll se how it works out.

@aaronjscott – 1. I live in a fairly rural area as well. I still have cable and if I didn’t have cable I could get satellite. Digital is digital, so getting comics won’t be a problem… as a matter of fact, it would be easier. 2. AC Milan if I had to choose, but generally I just want to watch good games.

 

@Dan – I Loooooove print. I hope it never goes away, but at some point this becomes an economic question.

@nickmaynard – DC and especially Marvel are now in the intellectual property business. They already compete on a playing field much larger than the direct market. They’ll be fine with it.

 

@sixgun and @azcbguy – Thanks, guys!
