Remember how in Reign of Chaos random bandit tents had the Gilnean sigil on them?

It's possible these symbols have come to mean things other than what they meant in Warcraft II.

I've been reading Batman since Morrison started working on it, and I think Rest In Peace was probably one of the best superhero comics I've read since DKR. I did read Hush and didn't particularly...

Are you kidding? Particularly the exchanges between Johnny and the doughboys frequently verged on genius. And Wobbly-Headed Bob? I'll admit he tends to be driven more by monologue than exchange but...

Oh well obviously since there's been a number of great additions to that list and Grant Morrison is responsible for a bunch of them. I only used Watchmen and DKR as examples since at the time there...

I've heard the argument that the trolls already possess druidic aspects to some degree, citing the shapeshifting high priests and the prominence of their animal gods. I don't think that every druid...

All right, Gurtogg, I've been getting an inappropriate venom on my tongue and I apologize. I said at the beginning that I would try and keep this civil and I haven't lived up to that.
That was true...

IGN had published reviews issues as they came out, and CBR has had a bunch as well.

And yes, I'm an avid comic reader. And you're right that the art is really all up to taste but as a Warcraft comic...

Gurtogg as I imagine you have, I've grown tired of this back and forth. I think that your defense of the comic has been inadequate, and the reasons you bring forth could be applied to defend anything...

I've attempted to distance my arguments from merely saying I don't like it. I've given reasons why I think it's bad and explained all of them at length. I believe that there is such a thing as bad...

But the problem here is that sometimes "the people" don't actually know what they're talking about. For example: New Moon is a pile of shit. It's a crappy movie that will make tons of money because a...

If that's your opinion then I suppose that's fair, but I don't really see it that way.
Purely in terms of lore, that's true, however when it comes to the quality of writing, which is what I was...

Ok, but it doesn't really change my point. Just because those obstacles are overcome doesn't mean those obstacles aren't more severe. Varian's consistently won with very little effort, robbing those...

I know the definitive difference, what I'm asking more is what's the practical difference, here? Some dark hair has a sheen so it only looks, say, burgundy when it catches the light, and otherwise...

Then what am I supposed to blame? The creators of the comic severely mishandled it to a degree that, I'm willing to say, hurt the story. We may be Warcraft nerds but anyone who knew who Varian was...

Ok... so eating children is ok but not old people. Gotcha.

Doesn't it seem a little ridiculous that we're working so hard to try and qualify the specifics of this misused term?
