What's this? Uther knows that Saidan Dathrohan is the dreadlord Balnazzar? I see a hint of fear and confusion in Dathrohan's face in that third panel. Or maybe he's just gassy. You know a holy ass kicking is inbound but will the guards get their sacks up and attack this man who claims to be THE Uther Lightbringer?
I love making these big, artsy comic panels. Yes they take a while longer to create because I'm supremely anal and borderline obsessive compulsive about detail. They're like screencaps from a Cru the Dwarf movie complete with Sony Vegas and Adobe After Effects FX. I'm ready for my Emmy now.
A big thanks to everyone who has donated. Your continued support of the comic gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to making that Whitemane fan service.
Speaking of fan service a new piece of fan art goodness is up at TWC from Runehoof on deviantArt. If you can't get enough of super-sized Lora sandwiching phallic buildings between her breasts then you'll enjoy this latest voter incentive.
8-23-09: Updated the page with the new lighting effect.
8-28-09: Updated the voter incentive yet again with a fan-made drawing of Deathwing courtesy of A Rogue with Two Sides. Also my mother was released from the hospital today so I'm going to be very busy for a few days. I'll try to find an opening to make a new page but I'm going to be so pressed for time and things will be so hectic that I'm going to be even more stressed-out.
8-29-09: Okay, so the update clearly didn't happen. Things are hectic around here and I feel like having a break-down. I just don't have the time or energy to put into creating a new page and I have no estimate as to when I'm going to update next week. Trying to pressure myself into making an update is extra stress I don't need right now.
I'm having mixed feeling about the expansion. Some anxiety, some unrest. Not sure how to deal with them right now and not sure what will happen to this comic in the future with the upcoming cataclysmic events.
I've always favored the good ol' days of vanilla WoW and wanted to bring back some of the elements from the original game I enjoyed so much. Since I've adopted WoW and molded it to my own vision I feel like it's become my own little world; my sanctuary. It's like I'm competing with Blizzard to see who can create a more compelling story.
In the face of Cataclysm the only way I can keep my own interest in this story is to ramp it up and try to enhance the comic. Story, visuals, dialogue, all that needs to improve. Of course I've been trying to do that since I first started. The comic has been through drastic changes but now I feel an urgent need for improvement.
A demon... runing a holy order? Either way, Uther is kicking some serious ass and taking names! I now have a bit of respect fer those do-gooders who don't allow theft and abide by "fair play"!

If Blizz doesn't give Cru the Dwarf an in-game reference, maybe an item drop, in the upcoming heroic Deadmines I will crap.

Didn't mean to repeat that, DD's wierd like that.

I correct myself: DRAGONS and lots of fire. Trailer looks good, excited for worgen and goblin races.

It looks like it's full of demons and fire. That's enough for me.

So WoW Cataclysm is a reality huh? I had hoped for something different but I'll stray away and continue writing my own storyline.

I knew he'd kick ass. Anybody got gum? The Voter incentive? Three words: tig ole bitties.
lianardo at 12:52PM, Aug. 20, 2009

Necrosis at 5:10PM, Aug. 19, 2009
A ret pally and a resto druid... my arena nightmare. Leave us shamans alone! >.

TONIGHT WE CLOG IN HELL!

'And now, as the Lord of Dance,I DANCE UR ARSES INTO THE VOID!' that should be his next line...
cru at 2:39PM, Aug. 19, 2009
I think they would win those 2v2 matches. I think Uther and Lora could win in a 2v5 match.
cru at 2:38PM, Aug. 19, 2009
Retadin + resto druid, name the team "Mandatory Reform"
Light_in_Darkness at 2:10PM, Aug. 19, 2009
BTW Cru, that sounds like a 2v2 team in progress.
Light_in_Darkness at 2:06PM, Aug. 19, 2009
I think Balnazzar just shat the biggest brick yet.
cru at 11:16AM, Aug. 19, 2009
OMG! Ret paladin with a resto druid healer! Run!
Captain Death at 11:07AM, Aug. 19, 2009
I had hoped I'd see such a entry, and i wasn't disappointed. Nice light coming from behind them.
JinxMinx at 7:27AM, Aug. 19, 2009
Wow Uther is so badass O.O
Reitei at 11:08PM, Aug. 18, 2009
you'd better pray he doesn't choose to whoop your asses, silly crusaders.
Light_in_Darkness at 10:54PM, Aug. 18, 2009
Curses! Foiled once again by the rating system!
Light_in_Darkness at 10:54PM, Aug. 18, 2009
Breaking open one hell of a can o' whoop-ass.
