Comic # 3 - Geek v. Wiki



Wikipedia has far too much information on it, and it's ruined more than a few movies for me because I can't resist reading the plot synopsis. However, with comic books, the allure of Wikipedia goes beyond the implication for movies. Full plotlines, connections, allusions in comic books to events past are all mentioned there with easy access. Conversations online (or otherwise) about comic book based issues are so much easier now for non-readers or not-so-avid readers of comic books that I'm sure several comic book geeks are sulking somewhere about how they can't talk crap and be taken seriously anymore.

Sucks to be them.
