The Old Republic - comic update

If you haven't seen this already, on the official SWTOR.com website, they have an online comic book which introduces the TOR story. If you're a comic book fan, or interested in what this world is going to be like, this is a must read. We're now up to issue 12, published late last week. Here's the link to the first page of the first edition.

The game itself is stylized and looks a lot like a comic book, so presenting the story in this fashion is a perfect way to get you into the feel of the world. This is probably one of the mistakes they made over at Star Wars Galaxies. When it first came out, the realistic looking characters were a real buzz to play with, they soon got dated and even updates to shadowing could not save the graphics from looking tired. The stylized universe presented in WoW takes on a different graphical challenge and it has held up to the test of time. Let's hope the graphics in TOR also endure.
