The Big List p.4

So the next portion of this course will consist of two "World of Warcraft" related comics and a fresh light 3-panel comic for dessert.
"Dark Legacy Comics" started as a series to entertain the guild the author's Warcraft character - Keydar is in. The art is simplistic but fun, the humour is extremly fresh and deals with the daily plight of the casual Warcraft player. I usually find this comic very refreshing among the "1337" gaming comics.
"Manic Graffiti" fits the same category as the above. Though the art is unique probably because of its eastern origin. As opposed to "Dark Legacy" we are shown both the Alliance and Horde's point of view. The comic takes a little time getting used to the style but for every Warcraft player it will be a fun thing to check.

"Three Panel Soul" is the epic continuation of "Machall" which followed the college mishaps of two friends. Frankly I loved "Machall" during my high school years and was very sad when it ended. Because of that, Mat & Ian's next project "Three Panel Soul" was an enjoyable surprise. The new comic is on a whole different level. The art is amazing, the colour pallete is usually fixed in the shades of grey and they manage to nail the humour in the confining format of only three panel comics. Amazing work.
