Executive Compensation, page 33

3. We note your response to comment six of our letter dated December 19, 2011. Please revise your disclosure to quantify the pa yments you discuss for each termination or change in control event. In addition, we note the discussion of the compensation to be paid to Mr. Shamus in connection with hi s resignation on page 50. Please quantify the amount paid or to be paid.

4. We note the disclosure in footnote two to the summary compensation table that the company determined the loan to Wizard Entertainment was uncollectable and was determined to be compensation to Mr. Shamus due to his control of the company. Please revise the summary compensation table to reflect such amount in the all other compensation column. Certain Relationships and Re lated Transactions, page 31

5. Please clarify in the second pa ragraph of this section th e relationship between Gareb Shamus Enterprises and Wizard Entertainmen t. You state the promissory note was entered into with Gareb Shamus Enterpri ses but then state that the amount was determined to not be collectible from Wizar d Entertainment. The disclosure in this paragraph is unclear and should be revised. In addition, since the note was secured by all the assets of Gareb Shamus Enterprises, clar ify whether you have any recourse to collect such amounts. 6. We note your revised disclosure in respons e to comment eight of our letter dated December 19, 2011 and we reissue the comment. Please revise to clarify as of what specific date the outstanding balances of your de bt transactions have been disclosed. In addition, please clarify how these transacti ons relate to Wizard World Inc. and its predecessor and tell us how you accounted for these transactions. We continue to note that these transactions do not appear to be reflected in the financial statements. Furthermore, it appears that you may be usi ng the reference to “C onventions” in this section differently than as disclosed at the beginning of the Form 8-K. For instance, you refer to acquiring the domain name and in tellectual property right s from Conventions. However, the disclosure on page one reflect s that the company acquired Conventions. Please provide clear disclosure th roughout this section of these related part y transactions.

7. It appears that you have di scussed the October 27, 2010 promissory note to Gareb Shamus Enterprises twice in this section. Th ese two discussions are not consistent with each other. Please revise accordingly. 8. We reissue comment nine of our letter dated December 19, 2011. Please provide the disclosure require by Item 404(a)(5) of Re gulation S-K for each debt transaction.

Security Ownership of Certain Benefi cial Owners and Management, page 32

9. Please remove the statement that all of the shares of common stock outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable, as such statement is a legal conclusion that you are not qualified to make. 10. While we note that Mr. Shamus is no longer an officer or director of the company, since he was at the time of the filing of the initia l Form 8-K, please add back the disclosure regarding Mr. Shamus in the appropriate sectio ns, such as the benefi cial ownership table. Exhibits

11. We note your response to comment 10 of our letter dated December 19, 2011 and we reissue the comment. We are unable to lo cate an amendment to the Form 8-K filed August 30, 2011. In addition, the Exhibit 10.1 filed with the Form 8-K/A filed February 1, 2012 appears to differ from the Exhibit 10.1 as filed with the August 30, 2011 Form 10-K. That Exhibit 10.1 was dated as of August 2011, while the other one is dated December 6, 2010. Please file Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K dated August 30, 2011 in its entirety.

Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-1

12. We note in your response to our prior comm ent 12 that you planned to file a waiver request by February 3, 2012 regarding the incl usion of financial statements of Wizard Conventions as of and for the year en ded December 31, 2008. In addition, since the merger occurred on December 7, 2010, historic al premerger financial statements of Conventions should not be presented as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010. We have not yet received the waiver request. Please provide us with your updated plans to file this request.

13. We note your response to our prior comment 13. Your response indicates that Wizard World loaned the amounts to Gareb Shamus Enterprises and that the transaction is presented in the post-merger financial statem ents included in the Form 10-K. However, you disclose on page 32 of the amended Form 8-K that on October 27, 2010, Conventions loaned to Gareb Shamus Ente rprises an aggregate principal amount of $329,807.49 and an additional amount of $11,079.84 in interest was accrued. Since the historical financial statements in the Form 8-K are those of Conventions and October 27, 2010 precedes the date of the merger, please te ll us how this tran saction is reflected within those financial statements and also ex plain the difference between this transaction and the apparently identical transaction between Kick the Can Corp and Gareb Shamus Enterprises that is di sclosed on page 31.

15. Explain to us why the $1,600 receivable from Kick the Can Corp was eliminated and the $31,959 prepaid expense was added as pro forma adjustments.

16. If you believe Kick the Can Corp is one of the accounting acquirers, pl ease advise as we cannot determine why it is included in the pro forma presentation when no audited financial statements of Kick the Can Corp were presented separately or on a combined basis with Conventions. Please advise.

17. We note you have combined the accumulated defi cit of all three entiti es in the pro forma balance sheet. Please note that only the accu mulated deficit of the accounting acquirer(s) should be brought forward as the pro forma balance of accumulated deficit.

18. Please note that only the results of operati ons of the accounting ac quirer(s) are brought forward to the pro forma results of operations . Please revise to present as eliminating adjustments the results of opera tions of the shell company.

19. We note you have not yet received an accommoda tion to provide financial statements for periods beyond the date of the merger in the Form 8-K. Please file that waiver request and if granted, please clearly separate the activity recorded for the period December 8 through December 31 from your other pro forma adjustments. Other disclosures may be required regarding the content of the re sults of operations for that period. Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2010

20. We note that your much of your filing incl udes disclosure for 2011 and 2012 rather than as of your fiscal year end, December 31, 2010. Please note that you may include additional material information to the extent necessary to make the required information not misleading. See Exchange Act Rule 12b-20.
