  • Safe Passage: There and back again

    Welcome to another edition of WoW Insider's Weekly Comic, Safe Passage. One year later, and I'm back where I started. To this day, I still can't believe that after my flagship comic, Byron, the Tauren Rogue, I was given the green light for another comic series. Safe Passage was actually one of the two ideas that I originally approached WoW Insider for, but I settled on Byron for my own reasons. Byron was immensely helpful in more ways than one. If you remember my postmortem from last time, it was essentially my training wheels, a way for me to get a feel for the processes, along with my own strengths (and weaknesses) in comic creation. The first and most important thing I had to do was to get a writer. My guild leader once again agreed to help me flesh out the story from the beginning, so I hope the story was more consistent this time around. Safe Passage began when I first heard of the post-Cataclysm Camp Taurajo quest lines. I actually hadn't done the quests when I wrote this; I hadn't gotten into the beta, so I went purely on research. If you know of my other work, then you know I have a soft spot for our large, bovine friends, and I thought that the Taurajo situation in Cataclysm was the perfect level of ambiguity to make an interesting story.

    Welcome to the first edition of the WoW.com Weekly Comic, Safe Passage! This comic takes place post-Cataclysm, so there will be minor spoilers! Hello, dear readers, and welcome to our next visual saga. This is called "Safe Passage," and despite what this meager first page shows, this is not faction-biased one way or the other. So please, I ask all of you to just take in each page and let the story take you along. I like the Alliance for my own reasons. Check out the full version right here, and tune in next Tuesday morning for a new page. You can also see all the previous pages in the gallery below. %Gallery-102091%

    Before Byron snuck off into the shadows, he told me to give you all a little something to remember him by. "Now," you ask. "what could you possibly give anyone that wasn't obtained illegally?" That's easy: IM icons! You are all more then welcome to use these swanky icons for things like forums, Twitter, or your absolute favorite site to talk about WoW! Also, if you somehow missed the ending of Byron, the review, or you don't even know what I'm talking about, why not try catching up a little bit? %Gallery-101950%

  • Byron the Tauren Rogue: The cow, the legend, the gnome

    When I approached the editors of WoW.com to ask them if they'd be interested in letting me do some work, I was thrilled when they agreed and took me on. The creative freedom I got was incredible: "Write us an idea, and if it's all right, you can do it." Thus, Byron the Tauren Rogue was born. Now, the legend of the tauren rogue is just one of many jokes within the WoW universe, like the cow level, or skilled ret paladins. Even though I was told that this idea was "done to death," I really wanted to try out the lovable oaf sort of character. What I didn't expect is what it would turn into. The general synopsis of Byron is as such: Byron is a young, male tauren who dreams of becoming the first rogue of his kind. His friends -- skilled rogues themselves -- dare Byron to sneak into Stormwind and steal the Shield of Fordragon. If he can acquire it and safely escape the city, then he has more than proven himself.

    Welcome to another edition of the WoW.com Weekly Comic, Byron the Tauren Rogue! Well, here we are: the end of Byron. Our story ends with Byron, the bovine hero, watching a raid take place upon the ever-assaulted Crossroads. He has chosen his path but swears to use it to protect those who need to be protected. He is now one with the shadows, always watching over his beloved Horde. I wanted to thank all of you for sticking with this story from the beginning. While I'll be the first to admit it got off to quite a rocky start, I feel that this comic has evolved a lot, and I'm ultimately happy with where it led. Next week, I'll be featuring an article which, among other things, will be an overview of the entire series. I'll talk about the characters, the story, the writing and many other points. I hope to see you all back again! For those who are worried -- don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'm taking a small, two-week break to write the next story and pen out a couple of fun little Byron-related goodies. Byron may come back one day, as this next story will be completely unrelated, but who knows? From the Byron crew, we all thank you for reading. Take care!
