They just… they… BETTER WRITER. MADE EYES BURN. Character design was okay on the dragons, but very meh for humans… and obviously this guy wouldn’t play Horde, the way he draws orcs and trolls. Mbleh.

But seriously. One moment it’s like “oh no we’re surrounded!” and then there’s an explosion, and then there’s just this CHICK there, and where did the bad guys go, and wait how come the human chick has a little flying dragon with her now, and WAIT her parents JUST DIED why isn’t she fucking CRYING OR EVEN BEING SAD WHAT THE HELL! ::growls::

I would like to see the Starcraft one, though, provided it isn’t done by that guy… or has a better writer… or yeah. I just… one of the things that got under my skin is how little attention the Warcraft manga paid to the history of the series, which is one of its BIG things, you know. Not just “didn’t pay much attention to it” but “outright ignored some kind of important things, like WTF happened to the sunwell in Quel’Thalas” (which happens to somehow be a MAJOR point of the manga).

Me done venting now. Don’t mind me, I get this way when things disappoint me severely. Don’t even get me STARTED on the Star Wars prequels.

The Warcraft comic is drawn by a Korean artist named Kim Jae-Hwan. Not too bad of an artist, but he’s a bit more style than substance. But then again, most comic artists here in Asia are. Not too different from back home, really. There’s also a Korean Starcraft manhwa here as well.

Blizzard pretty much owns Korea’s videogame world.

Perused the Warcraft “manga” in the store. FUCKING HATED IT. Ugh. Story is vapid, characters are entirely one-dimensional, art flow is obtuse and difficult to follow – and it doesn’t pay attention to the history of the Warcraft universe, which is the ULTIMATE no-no.

AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO MY BATMAN?! Oh bats, you’ll always be the dashing guy I remember from the early 1990’s series, with Mark Hamill as Joker and his DELICIOUS cackle. MUAHAH!

But dammit I should have gotten me some free comics. Poo.
