BlizzPlanet reports that a World of Warcraft comic book may be announced at next week's Comic Con. The rumor apparently started when the site noticed that there was going to be a panel at the event featuring Jim Lee, Chris Metzen and Mickey Nielson.

Chris "Thundergod" Metzen is the Vice President of Creative Development for Blizzard Entertainment and Nielson an artist for the game. Meanwhile Jim Lee is the artist behind the second series X-Men number 1.

The Comic Con site itself seems to indicate that a big unveil is coming during the Friday event:

3:30-4:30 WOW! It's World of Warcraft!— Are you ready? Comics, collectibles, and online gaming are about to collide! How does the world's most popular online game, World of Warcraft, plan to crash the comics and collectibles world? Find out here! As a special incentive, a collectible comic will be distributed to fans at the panel. Join Jim Lee (editorial director, WildStorm), Chris Metzen (VP of creative development, Blizzard), Mickey Neilson (writer/voice director, Blizzard), Hank Kanalz (VP/general manager, WildStorm), and Georg Brewer (VP, design and DC Direct creative) to discover the results of these combined forces!

It stands to reason that that "collectible comic" will be a sneak peek edition of a new WoW series. And why not, as McWhertor says, WoW gamers need something to do when they're in the bathroom.
