Magic: The Gathering #4
Matt Forbeck (w) Martín Cóccolo (a) Karl Kopinski (c)
Dack Fayden has finally caught up to the mage that destroyed his home village, but it might be too late: she has begun casting a deadly spell that will drain hundreds of their life force. And, now that Dack has arrived, he may fall prey to the same dark magic as the rest!

Continuing the adventures of the brand new Planeswalker, Dack Fayden!
I once farted during the final match for prizes at an FNM. It was a tense moment, everything was quiet, control vs control, I was about to mana leak, thought about it.. and farted. Then mana leaked.
I wonder if these comics will have ISBN number... I should be able to ask one of the bookstores over here to order them using that. The last time I went, they can't really find any info about this series.
Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"
Maybe I just don't know where to look, but it seems like IDW does a really bad job explaining exactly when their books come out. I have no clue which week this is supposed to show, and I don't know how I would find out.

Agreed. Although the Mothership really should be making these kinds of announcements.
My local comic book store offers a system where they'll hold off comic books for you for a month, so I signed up, asking them to hold the IDW Magic books for me.
Though it is curious that it's all smoke and mirrors when it comes to anything other than a comic book cover... I felt this way (but worse) about Sony's support (or lack thereof) for the Tactics game. It's like they don't want you to play. Silly, silly, silly. They already have an audience, all they need is to communicate very simple things. I'm hoping that once we get underway with the comic releases, there will either be a regular schedule or crystal clear communication on behalf of IDW and Wizard.
Also.. what the heck happened to the Path of the Planeswalker stuff? We're missing big gaps of storyline right now! What the poop.
I am NEVER going to be able to get over the fact that his name is "Dack."
I don't understand why. We have Jack, Zack, Mac as real names and no one says anything like "derrr zack zack zack how weird" just because you are used to them. Magic has plenty of worse names, I mean look at who I consider our main character: Urza. Errrr zuhhh. Then there is Gideon, giddyup! Karn on the cob, Koth eats broth with sloth. What about Ob? Obbuhh lol.
I like the name, I mean it's kinda like Jack Sparrow, Zakk Wylde. Or wa na naaaaa Jack Bandit. Daffy Duck! Zack Frost ...umm Chuck Norris. lol

Actually, Gideon is the name of an Archangel (or a Seraph, I'm not sure which). Although I'll agree that "Dack Fayden" fits well in the "generic American hero type character" file. I still think Ral Zarek looks like a better character, and has a better name. It'll be between him, Jace, and Sarkhan for most popular, though Jace will still probably come out on top.
The first issue should be out next week.

I checked with my local store and I thought it might be Jan. 18th. Either way it was pushed back till January.

Is this like a common comic book happening?

Extremely common. It's industry standard, really. My December previews have issues that aren't due to be printed until March and April.
Well, yeah, she did destroy his entire town. That says black to me.

Destruction is more of a red thing. Now killing everyone to turn them into a zombie horde, that could be a black thing.

Destruction is an every color thing. It just depends on how, what, and why.

since if it's not confirm yet, i think it will be Liliana whom Dack chase to Innistrad
Ditto. Seriously, how long are we going to be stuck with him? Ral seemed like a much cooler UR walker.
