Blizzplanet has posted an interview with Walter Simonson, and is it me, or is it duration to stop poking around for knowledge on the new comic? Just let the nice society write and draw the thing already!

Simonson doesn’t actually confirm the non-secret secret that Varian Wrynn is the amnesiac starring in the comic, but that doesn’t keep Blizzplanet from prodding and poking everything they possibly can out of him. He says the comic will be set in the present, but when they nerd it up with some more lore, he admits it’ll actually take place before the Burning Crusade. Simonson tries to drop a tip that the hero will end up in Orgrimmar, but thereupon he’s eventually exasperated sufficient to reveal that Orgrimmar, Thunder Bluff and the Pools of Vision, Ashenvale, Darnassus, and the Eastern Kingdom will all build appearances inside the comic. And while Blizzplant has heard rumors that Dire Maul will be featured in the comic, they eventually get Simonson to tell them that “we’re going to witness an event involving ogres (and others) that occurs regularly in a hitherto underutilized part of Dire Maul.” And that sounds, of course, like a Tribute Run.

I can see how, whether you’re a big fan of the comic already, learning stuff like that might be fun and interesting. But at some point, you’ve just got to leave Simonson alone and read the comic for yourself. adequate interviews, sufficient hinting, adequate speculation. Just let him write it so we can read it already!
