CIVWARWIZ2015001_DC11.jpgNEW ORLEANS, November 30, 2015 -- Wizard World, Inc. (OTCBB: WIZD) today announced that “Rogue” co-creator Michael Golden has drawn the Civil War #1 variant cover to be provided free to all Captain America Platinum VIPs at Wizard World Comic Con New Orleans, January 8-10.
A conflict has been brewing in the Marvel Universe for over a year, threatening to pit friend against friend, brother against brother--and all it will take is a single misstep to cost thousands their lives and ignite the fuse. As the war claims its first victims, no one is safe as teams, friendships, and families begin to fall apart.

Civil War, a Marvel Comics event in seven parts, stars Spider-Man, the New Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men and the entirety of the Marvel pantheon. Civil War - the crossover that rewrites the rules - begins here in this double-sized first issue.

A hugely popular Wizard World guest, Michael Golden has penciled everything from Batman to Captain America to Vampirella. If a fan brings up a character, Golden has probably worked on it at some point in his career. His 'Storytelling' panel is not to be missed by aspiring artists, or those who just want a little more insight into this iconic artist's work.
Captain America stars on the Wizard World Comic Con New Orleans celebrity roster are Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Hayley Atwell, Anthony Mackie , Frank Grillo, and directors Anthony and Joe Russo.
