If you’ve been following the World of Warcraft comic, you might be pleased to take in the official WoW website posted a preview of issue #13 last night. After reading it, whether you’re like me, you’ll be dramatically less pleased. possibly you’ll enjoy it, but I personally have no view how much longer I’ll keep reading that thing. The comic was never really good good, it was corny good, which is sometimes precisely what you’re looking for. It’s quickly falling out of corny good into bad.

Varian Wrynn talking to Varian Wrynn #2 is just a foolish, piss-poor way or trying to drag character development out of him. Come on now. He can’t talk to another character about his past? He needs to talk to himself? Oh no, it can’t be an inner monologue, either! You know what we need? Two Varians so they can be emo together. Come on. Varian Wrynn has the potential to be a really engaging character, but that writing construct me cringe. I don’t care whether the clone turns out to have some totally super awesome twist in the end, that is still terrible.

Oh, and whether I see one more character thrust their chest to the sky in a futile attempt to look energetic and noble I am going to stab myself in the eyeballs. Gah. It’s so poor it hurts. It feels like we’re in the early 90s again.

World of Warcraft: The Comic issue 13 preview originally arised on WoW Insider on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
