Flintlocke is dead. Long live Flintlocke!

by Elizabeth Harper Apr 13th 2007 at 9:20AM

Unfamiliar with Gamespy's popular World of Warcraft comic Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth? Have you been living under a rock? Even Blizzard made note of the popular comic, adding an item to the Burning Crusade referencing the unlikely hero of the series, Flintlocke. Fortunately, you can dive in to the comic's archives and enjoy it at any time. (I think my favorite episode is Ogre Killing in 56 Simple Steps.) Unfortunately, Gamespy has recently killed off the comic, citing an inability to find a new artist.

So after two years (on and off), Flintlocke's adventures have ended. Well, at least we'll always have the memories...

Comic contest honorable mention

by Elizabeth Harper Oct 7th 2006 at 10:00AM

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.

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.

Comic Contest Honorable Mention

by Elizabeth Harper Oct 5th 2006 at 10:00AM

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...

Comic Contest Honorable Mentions

by Elizabeth Harper Sep 27th 2006 at 11:00AM

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.

Latest comic contest honorable mentions

There seem to be two new honorable mentions up for September's comic contest. The first shows us the tedious job of being a warlock while the second shows off this swanky mount.

Latest Comic Contest Honorable Mention

by Elizabeth Harper Sep 6th 2006 at 6:45PM

While I'm sure this sort of undead joke has been done before, I couldn't help but giggle when I saw this week's comic. Poor undead - if they weren't so very devious and, at times, downright evil, you might have to feel sorry for them.

More Comic Contest Winners

by Elizabeth Harper Sep 3rd 2006 at 3:00PM

I've just noticed that Blizzard's comic contest has announced a new honorable mention as well as August's contest winner. The honorable mention comes curtesy of Sabettan, and explains one of the game's great mysteries. August's winner comes to us from Keydar, and heavily exploits the fact that you cannot help but laugh at a flying Gnome. (Well, okay, I probably would have laughed at a paniced, flying Night Elf, too.)

Got your own comic ideas? Put them in a digital format and submit them! The comic contest will be running until the end of the year, so there's still plenty of time to submit your own work for consideration.

Comic Contest Honorable Mention

by Elizabeth Harper Aug 22nd 2006 at 7:00PM

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...

Latest Comic Contest Honorable Mention

by Elizabeth Harper Aug 21st 2006 at 2:15PM

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!

Comic Contest Honorable Mention

by Elizabeth Harper Aug 15th 2006 at 4:00PM

Another week, and we have another comic contest honorable mention, this one by Banazir. This comic looks into the tragic life of those auctioneer NPCs. (Just think of everything they have to put up with from thoughtless players... or maybe we'd all rather not.)

The comic contest will be continuing for the rest of the year - with one winner chosen every month. So if you've got an clever idea and a bit of skill, there's still plenty of time to submit your own work for consideration!

This Week's Comic Contest Honorable Mentions

by Elizabeth Harper Aug 5th 2006 at 2:00PM

I admit, I find this week's honorable mention comic, by Oscaron, a little puzzling. A tiny mailbox? What? However, that was before I found this - a printable template with which to create your own tiny mailbox, for those times the server is offline. Now that's funny.

Again, if you feel you have the talent to compete, Blizzard is running this comic contest all year, and there's still time to submit your own work for consideration!
