The Emissary - Act 1
And so it begins, not with a bang but with a … thing … that makes the bang … being jammed into a wolf’s gaping maw.
What is this, you ask? Another World of Warcraft comic? Why yes, it is. But this WoW comic stands out in that it is the first long form comic done by someone who has left the wrap around comfort of his four panel security blanket.
That right folks, Barry T. Smith, of the webcomics InkTank and Angst Technology, is trying his hand at a whole new graphic storytelling venue. From going long form to digital inking and coloring, I’ve decided to go off the deep end.
INTO! Dive into the deep end. Sorry.
I’m pretty nervous about this project because it is such a departure from my four panel safety zone. And I am immensely excited about this project exactly because it is such a departure from my established safety zone. I am expecting a bit of a bumpy ride a first as I learn digital inking and using grayscales, but hopefully I have concocted a story that will entertain and can present it in a graphical style that will explode your eyes with pure awesomeness.
Eventually.
So, feel free to kick back with us every Monday and see what sort of webcomicers brew I’m serving up. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry…
Oh wait, I think that’s going to be me. Who knows what the hell you’ll do. Just be sure to come back each week.
Thanks for reading!

Yarrr, another fine venture from the Good Cap’n!! I’m sure it will be wondrous. And for all the naysayers: well, I’ve had me monkey’s save their fodder for the cannons for quite some time now…. and it’s starting to smell!!!
