World of Warcraft Various Guides - Four Great WoW Comics Guides
Well drawn with witty creative humor, this comic produced by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik is probably one of the most popular web comics online and for good reason. Featuring Holkin’s and Krahulik’s comic doppelgangers the comic takes aim at various games across the spectrum, pulling it’s humor from every aspect of the gaming experience. Don’t be put off by the coverage of other games, as the humor is pretty universal and easy to understand even if you have never played the featured game.
The design of this web comic reminds me very much of a regular comic book that you would purchase off your local book stores shelves. This comic follows the misadventures of Cale’Anon, a very unusual Blood Elf Hunter, and Richard an Undead Warlock determined to be as evil as possible, as well as their companions. While the humor is still there (thanks largely in part to the antics of Richard) it has become more intermittent since the start of the comic, however I still feel it’s worth the read.
Many of the comics found on Torment of the Week come with their own personal blurbs giving the reader insight into the events that eventually inspired that particular comic. Overall this comic has a very “homey” feel; it’s grainy, grity, and real and I like it.
