“Wikipedia War” – A New Comic Book Written and Drawn By Me

Wikipedia Wars Book Cover

For the past 2-3 months, I’ve been working on my first ever mini-comic. And it’s finished! YES!

What’s it about? I’m glad you asked…

Wikipedia Wars: The Battle of Wrestlemania 3 Attendance is a thrilling black and white mini-comic about Boaz, a nerdy high school wrestling fan who gets caught up in a year-long edit war on Wikipedia about the attendance of Wrestlemania 3. In his mind, their battle of words plays out like a wrestling match, but will he get pinned by his relentless opponent Nailchewer? The story is based on an actual Wikipedia edit war!

I’ll be at Comic-Con this weekend with copies in hand. I’ll update soon about where you can pick one up. Next week, I’ll update with how you can buy a copy over the web.

Special thanks to Jim Higgins, the Meltdown University group, Eric Larnick, Amanda Meadows and to my supportive friends and family. This is a victory for all of us!

  • Awesome!
    I’ll be there to get one.

    Oh… wait. I am lazy, cheap, and haven’t bought a ticket that sold out in minutes…

    Oh well, if I am magically teleported there, I will definitely use the sneaky strategies you mentioned in a previous article to gain entrance and receive a copy.

  • Dude this sucks. You have to go and give me another reason why I hate that I couldn’t go this year. Instead, I’m going to Chicago Wizard World, which is like going to the minor league farm team.

  • Alright, goddamit, I need to get my hands on this ASAP!

    And for the record, it was 93,000 people.

    They all saw Hogan do the unthinkable and *SLAM* Andre the G.

  • EDIT: So, I did bring the comic to Comic-Con, but the two people I thought had booths did not. I’m gonna get the comic out this week to you guys. Stay tuned!
