Yeah, there's at least one exclusive MTX for each issue. It may not be two for every issue though. Extra info on Reddit: #1 " " folderpirate wrote: " I FUCKING LOVE IT... LOVE IT!!! I'm a fan of game lore. I'm also a fan of REH's worlds (Conan, Solomon Kane). Aside from the obvious Age of Conan, I feel that Wraeclast's world/lore most resembles REH's styles the most in the gaming world. I'll definitely be buying them. I'm not so interested in the digital copies (but will grab them nonetheless), but I can't wait to get my hands on the physical copies. <3 Ive always wondered how much Wraeclast has been influenced by REH? I'd love to see a more "terror from beyond the stars that sets mens' mind jabbering from insanity" type stuff going on more in PoE. XD I am pretty sure you will like this graphic novel then! I am very much inspired by authors such as REH and HPL, as well as Hellboy, Berserk and Attack on Titan. Edit: I'm Erik BTW #2 " Chris wrote: " So I was right that the next expansion will be Karui themed! I don't mean to interfere with your speculation, but with the highly variable timeframes of both expansions and comics, it'd be super hard for us to have the two announceable really close together if they were based on the same theme :) PastPost#1 http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/965056 DISCUSS. I CANT, TOO AMAZE RITE NAOW Additional Info by Chris: " Chris wrote: " GingerBeast wrote: It seems a bit unclear to me, but are they going to be digital only? Also, when will there be a release date? My understanding is that there are four digital issues followed by a physical graphic novel that contains all four. I don't have an accurate release date but I'll try to find out from the team members who are working on this.

Hi Very mixed on this news but I suppose GGG knows that they are doing...where are the t-shirts though? there not in the shop, its all good though I made my own, the karui way hehe. cheers Conan: Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Never dance with the Devil because a dance with the Devil could last you forever... -I thought what I'd do was,I'd Pretend I was one of those deaf mutes- Nullus Anxietas:)	Posted by Finkenstein#5181 on Jul 9, 2014, 7:09:28 PM Quote this Post

They look rather shitty imo but you can. :P Don't know what could be considered bad around this comics. They are an awesome gadget for those interested in the story and give GGG the freedom to tell parts of Wraeclast they couldn't tell because it would interrupt the ARPG gameplay we got now too much.

That is a good point , i don't care about story lines in most games , but many people do. So the more lore they can put in in any way that dose not force me to sit and watch/lissien to shit in game the better.
