Wasn't that the "story" behind Dungeon Siege?

I beg to differ. I enjoy Jordan a great deal, but let's face it- if he wrote the story for DS, the game would still be in production and scheduled for release in 2021.

It's the story behind every 'farmboy' origin in fantasy from a lot of D&D characters to Luke Skywalker to Wheel of Time.

It's just Dungeon Siege's way of saying "Ok, plot is pregenerated ... all we have to do is make it pretty and combat heavy and this baby sells itself!". A common attitude among fantasy writers and - in particular - CRPGs.

I'd buy 'em if they were in any of the FLCS around here. Very nice looking and naturally the story is solid.

I'm happy that you like what you see. The Hedge Knight issue #1 and #2 sold out within a week of hitting comic book stores, those who bought them are selling them at very high prices on e-bay. But a collected edition is being put together for those who did not get a chance to get them.

Here is a five page preview of George R.R. Martin's The Hedge Knight issue #2, this is a most entertaining read, please enjoy

Wow, I haven't bought any graphic novels before, but this might be a first. Thank you, Khan, for the previews.
