The most recent California earthquake was not caused by nature, but by human activity. That's the impact the alliance of Apple eminence grise Steve Wozniak and cartoon tycoon Stan Lee recently created. According to a report in siliconvalley.com, the duo will work together to bring Comic Con 2016 to the California Republic. Called Silicon Valley Comic Con 2016, the event will be held in San Jose, the heart of tech's gold rush country.

The linkage of high tech and the world of comics has big-time potential. The comic community moves by its own rules, as does tech. The consumer market for comics, with its universal appeal, relatively low production costs, and unrivaled print/electronic crossover appeal, is built for continued growth. Placing the comic fan base in the heart of Silicon Valley is a dream for marketers, developers, and fans.

The event, the first of its kind in Silicon Valley, promises to be an enormous hit, with impact well beyond the rumbles participants may feel just a few miles from the San Andreas Fault.
