The Story So Far…

If you ever started flipping through an interesting-looking comic, then set it down again because you couldn’t figure out the storyline, the Comic Book Series Wiki is here to help.
The brainchild of blogger Laura “Tegan” Gjovaag, the Comic Book Series Wiki is intended to be an encylopedia of comics. Each page will include character descriptions, storylines, summaries of recent issues, and even order codes so readers can order back issues from retailers. Current issues will not be included, so there will be no spoilers.
Note I’m using the future tense here. Tegan and a few dedicated bloggers have set up the structure and filled in a few of the pages, but there is plenty left to do. A wiki is a communal work: anyone who has specific knowledge is invited to contribute, although moderators and other readers can edit the posts to delete abuse and misinformation.
The wiki includes slots for many popular manga titles, from Blazin’ Barrels to My Little Pony (hey, wikis are nothing if not inclusive), but none are filled in yet. So if you have a favorite series, consider spending a few minutes creating a page for your favorite manga. You might just convert someone.
And definitely bookmark it, for the next time you pick up an interesting but unfamiliar comic.
