Sunday Morning Funnies: Mob evolution

Sunday is the day to catch up on your homework, chores, Brewfest hangover, and the week's worth of WoW-related web comics. Because I cannot help you with your homework for ethical reasons, and I'm allergic to your chores, I compiled a comic list for you instead!

Humor with a plot-line

World of Warcraft comic hardcover collection reviewed

Well, I admit it: I've been reading the World of Warcraft comic (I'm up to issue ten) and enjoying it as a light bit of fantasy fare with lots of nice nods to the lore of the game. It's not trying to be more than that, I don't think, perhaps wanting to leave some room for this Wednesday's Ashbringer comic. However, it was news to me that there's a hardcover collection of the series out. Of course, where I fail, the folks at Blizzplanet succeed in not only knowing it was out, but in giving it an in-depth review.

The review is positive, and the special goodies of concept sketches, Blizzcon exclusive issues and what sounds like a solid layout and design make me seriously consider saving my gold (I need real life daily quests) to pick this up. Feel free to head over to Blizzplanet and see if you agree with that sentiment.

WoW #8: The king is back and there's gonna be trouble...

Art by Jon BuranA sneak peak of World of Warcraft #8 (the comic book) is available from Blizzard. And it's a doozy. Whether you're a comic book fan, or just a lore fan, it definitely looks like it's going to be worth the $2.99.

Remember that pesky Missing Diplomat quest? Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind, was on a mission to visit Jaina Proudmoore when he went mysteriously missing. Turns out, he got kidnapped. Then, he got free. Then, he was getting his Arena on, kicking ass, taking names, and getting entangled with unsavory sorts. (Presumably, Season 3.) He'd had a case of amnesia, but got better. And now he's realizing he's the King, baby.

WoW #8 opens with an obvious imposter prancing his merry way along the gates of Stormwind and being kind of a jerk to Anduinn. But, off at the dock, a dwarf sees three mysterious "thugs" step off the boat. Through some beautiful art, the book foreshadows exactly how bad-ass Varian has become. This is Elric or Conan quality bad-ass. This should definitely have some impact on Stormwind's royalty when WotLK arrives. It'd be nice continuity to have Varian clean up the mess in the comic, and then see a few less dragons standing around Bolvar. Here's hoping.

Follow-up for WoW comic book pre-orders

If you pre-ordered your subscription to the new World of Warcraft comic book series, you may have a long wait for your first issue to arrive via snail mail. Many subscribers are reporting that, while the first issue is on newsstands, and pre-orders were made months ago, the wait is an estimated six to eight weeks.

Pre-order subscribers are only paying $1.99 per issue, compared to $2.99 newsstand, a savings of $1 per issue, for the period of thirteen months. While there are reports than many pre-orders have already arrived, many subscribers are still waiting.

It is definitely frustrating that not all pre-orders seem to have been processed in time for subscribers to begin receiving their comics around the time that they hit newsstands. If you want to check out the first six pages of comic #0, they're available online. Failing that, you could always go grab yourself a copy for $2.99. Sure, you'd end up with two copies, and you'd blow a couple of bucks, but you could always give one as a gift this holiday season, or even keep one unopened for posterity.
