I've let several October contest honorable mentions come and go without a post, so here's a collection of them. So far we have comics from Bludlemon talking about psychic scream, Twolions painting a picture of baby Thrall, Jagoda mourning a lack of bag space, Taskal pondering the anachronisms in Azeroth, and Gondon showing us what WoW toons do in their free time.

And if you've got your own ideas for a great World of Warcraft comic, this comic contest will continue until the end of the year, so get out your pens, pencils, markers, mice, or whatever method of creative expression you desire, and get working on your own submission.

This comic comes to us courtesy of Iridani (if you cannot get to the official site, you may see the entire comic here), and addresses an issue that has always concerned me. (In fact, it weighs heavily on my mind whenever my Tauren druid attempts to travel by wyvern or bat.) And the art style is unique and suited to the topic at hand.

This honorable mention comes to us courtesy of player Kaigon of Seven Skulls (and, if you can't access the official site from work, you can see a copy of the comic here). The poor Tauren whom you see pictured on the right, is obviously at the end of his rope...

September's winner cracks me up -- and it does prove that you can win the contest with artistic skills of any level. Didn't think orcs and humans could get along, did you -- well, think again (and read the comic).

Two more honorable mentions for Blizzard's comic contest have arrived for your viewing pleasure. Both have some really cool artwork (though the styles are completely different) and are both amusing in their own unique ways. First, there's this comic by Thorner of Succession talks about the Blood Elf paladins we'll see in the expansion. Second, there's this comic by Bludlemon of Doom Kittie which discusses some of Blizzard's more... interesting... artistic choices in the game.

All I can really say about this is that the (presumed) healer in the background with his head in his hands perfectly expresses my sentiments with regards to this comic. As a former warlock who now plays a healing class, I really must apologize to everyone who's had the pleasure of healing me in the past...

And if you've got your own ideas for a great World of Warcraft comic, this comic contest will be running until the end of the year, so there's still time to submit your own work for consideration!

The latest honorable mention (by Trudylor of VR Comic) addresses an aspect of player life that's always confused me - and presents a scene I seem to be involved in every time I create a new character. But I'll let you go take a look for yourself rather than spoil the punchline.

And if you feel you have the talent to compete, the comic contest runs all year, and there's still time to submit your own work for consideration!

See this week's honorable mention here and last week's here.  I'm not sure if either of these comic authors have websites or more comics out there - so if anyone's familiar with these, drop a link to the site in the comments.  If you feel you have what it takes to win the contest yourself, go there's still time to submit your work - Blizzard will be picking one winner every month.

I'm always tickled when my favorite gaming web comics mention my favorite pastime - World of Warcraft, of course!  And while I see the occasional mention of the game on Ctrl Alt Del, Foxtrot (not actually a web comic),  Mac Hall, Penny Arcade, and Player vs. Player, I only know know of a few comics that devote themselves to the world of Azeroth.  And in light of the upcoming comic contest, I thought I'd list the ones I know of as examples and inspiration for any thinking of entering.  I know my list isn't comprehensive - so does anyone know of any other WoW comics out there?  Drop a note in the comments if you do! 

Until then, enjoy Adventures with Play, Flintlock's Guide to Azeroth, Heros of WoW, and Messy Cow (thanks to James for pointing this one out).

Blizzard is accepting submissions of WoW related comic strips for posting on the web site.  One "exceptional" comic a month will be chosen to win a prize - a Blizzard-branded iPod Nano and the first two volumes of The Sunwell Trilogy.  Decent rewards, and I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting comics about my favorite pastime.  (Posted above is a portion of a strip from Mac Hall - a personal favorite.)
