World of Warcraft comic in the making?

There have been some rumors floating around that a World of Warcraft comic book is the next expansion to the franchise, but despite the intriguing artwork we've seen (see right), we don't have any solid confirmation on the project. However, what we do know is that at the San Diego Comic Con next week, well-known comic artist Jim Lee will be appearing with Blizzard's lore expert Chris Metzen. And then Jim Lee will be appearing at BlizzCon.

Hmm... Something's certainly going on here to have Jim Lee making two Blizzard-related appearences in a week. But, while his inclusion in BlizzCon (and Metzen's inclusion in Comic Con) seems to suggest some sort of comic, we can't say for certain what kind of surprises are in store for us.
