One of the reasons I like the San Diego Comic Con/Comic Con International so much is that I get to see old friends and co-workers. That happened yet again (what a shock!) at this year’s convention.

Chris Ulm (one of the cofounders of the app company Appy Entertainment) and Dave Olbrich, now at Space Goat Productions, and little old me started talking about comics in the digital age along with the quality of nachos in restaurants surrounding the convention area.

That conversation ended when the sports bar closed, but Chris and I picked it up again on Facebook. Dave had dropped out, but Paul O’Connor, another pal who also co-founded Appy Entertainment and runs their company blog, joined in.

It grew into a conversation that eventually involved Marvel and DC, digital comics, the marketplace, webcomics, business models, Warren Ellis, Boom! Studios, Chip Mosher and Jessica Alba (though we edited that part out). Thanks to the wizardry of cut-and-paste technology – I’ll bet there’s an app for that - you can read our debate for yourself.

Part one is over here, and part two is over there. It’s better to read them in order.

We blowhards promise to return, because we never did resolve the San Diego nachos debate. I would gladly defend my choice, but I’ve long since forgotten the name of the place, and lost the receipt.
