Breakfast Topic: What would you like to see in a WoW comic?![(!empty($user->lang['IMAGE'])) ? $user->lang['IMAGE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'IMAGE')))](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2009/06/zach-bt-what-comics.jpg)
I've been getting back into comics lately, thanks largely to the
World of Warcraft. My most recent purchases were the trade paperbacks of Wildstorm's
World of Warcraft series and
Ashbringer, as well as Tokyopop's
Warcraft Legends manga. Since I couldn't get my fix of Hong Kong
manhua without actually going to Hong Kong (which makes it kind of hard to keep up with
weekly titles like
Amazing Weapons 4...), it was a bit easier to head over to our local shops and get some Western comics. What better subject than my favorite game, right?
While I enjoyed
Ashbringer, I take a great liking to
Warcraft Legends because it explores the other aspects or characters of Azeroth. The ongoing series can focus on well-known guys like
Varian Wrynn, but
Warcraft Legends are cool side-stories of the unknown guys. That opens up a world of potential. We could see stories about those NPCs we always see all over the place. Maybe we can get a comic about
Cro Threadstrong and find out why he hates the fruit vendor so much. How about stories about the wandering "named" NPCs in Dalaran?
Minigob Manabonk, maybe?
On the flip side, how about when the characters in the comic stories suddenly make their way into the game? We know
Broll Bearmantle and
Valeera Sanguinar have their roots in toys and comics, and players can now meet them in
WoW. This whole idea of comics as an extension of the game's story is really cool, and I hope Wildstorm and Tokyopop keep putting out great comics and characters. Is there anything in particular about the
World of Warcraft that you'd like to see in comic form? A favorite character? A particular period or special event? Share your thoughts!
