World of WarCraft Comic #1, Samwise Didier variant cover



Pictured above is the Samwise Didier illustrated variant cover for the first issue of the World of WarCraft DC Comic series, to be released on November 14. BlizzPlanet has two other variant covers and both inked and sketched pieces of concept art.

The production values on this project are sky-high, but would you expect anything less from DC Comics?

BUZZ: Blizzard working on game that isn't StarCraft II



Blizzard's Frank Pearce dropped a bombshell during an interview with Gamasutra, letting slip that Blizzard has another game in development in addition to StarCraft II during a discussion about Blizzard's workforce.

"Our global headcount is 2,700," said Pearce, "And most of that is customer service for World of Warcraft! In terms of development staff it’s probably around 350. World of Warcraft is about 135 people, 40 for Starcraft II, 40 for team 3, our cinematics team is about 85 guys. Then there’s sound and Q/A and that sort of thing."

When pressed for details regarding the new project, Pearce was cagey. "Team 3 is working on something really awesome. I can’t give you any hints, but it’s totally awesome."
Diablo III? A new MMO? We can only know one thing for sure: it's probably going to make a lot of money.
