Crossover Wars

"''(...) we are not going for ruling the world. We want to rule the WORLDS of the Web Comics Universe!"

- Evil Overlords Chronicles, page 2.

The Crossover Wars was a Massive Multiplayer Crossover that involved over 50 different WebComics and three forums, and spanned more than 1500 comic strips over a 9 month period during the year of 2007.

It started with two Web Comics, Cameo Comic where The Hero came from, & Evil Overlords United, where the villains came from, and from then on Chaos erupted in the worlds of Webcomics.

The Wars were more or less broken up into several smaller fronts:
 * The Adult Wars
 * The Fantasy Wars
 * Jenny Everywhere & the Crossing Over Worlds
 * The Forum Wars
 * The Sci-Fi Wars
 * The Squirrel Wars
 * The Super Wars
 * The WCA Hunt

A hub with links to all the strips can be found here.

Provides Examples of:
"Mister Threat:I am your undoing - Mister Threat! Lighbringer:...That is by far the worst supervillain name I've ever heard. Mister Threat: I...What?! Lightbringer: I mean at last "Mister Sinister" rymes and roles off the tongue nicely. You just sound like a vaguely idiotic silver-age loser who sends cryptic messages to the college professor who gave him a "D" in art classes.
