Scale Wars
Scale Wars is a new-defunct Photo Comic featuring action figures from many lines including G.I. Joe, Star Wars, Marvel Comics, DC, Indiana Jones, WWE, and the ever popular much, much more. It combines all of these mix matched universes into one small town where the figures live, breath and fight an eternal war of slapstick and wisecracks. The wars constantly wage and the battle lines are always being redrawn. At the center of the comic is a congregation of characters lead by Toxo-Zombie and featuring such characters as Darth Vader, Snake Eyes, Deadpool, Firefly, Triple-H, Captain America, Storm Shadow, Thor, Jason Voorhees, Batman, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Hellboy, Optimus Prime, Ash, Hulk, The Lone Ranger among others in unbelievable and zany adventures. Scale Wars was updated Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week and sometimes on the weekends, but it appears to have abruptly stopped updating around May 2013. Its website subsequently vanished entirely a few years later.
