Previous Updates

Below are the 3 previous updates, as well as abridged versions of the launch posts.
Archive of unabridged updates: Ch1 | Ch2

October 6, 2025: Chapter 3, page 3

Ch3, Page 3 now up.

Malyck seems upset!

As mentioned in the previous update, mild advisory for violence for this page. Again, nothing graphic or beyond what you'd see in a Star Wars movie. But please use your discretion, as it might be considered a little more intense than previous pages.

Next page on Wednesday!

October 1, 2025: Chapter 3, page 2

Ch3, Page 2 now up!

The second half of this two-page chapter-opener spread!

Next Monday's page has a mild advisory for violence. It is nothing graphic, and doesn't go beyond what you'd see in a Star Wars movie.

I'll mention this again for page 3's update, but wanted to give a heads-up viewer discretion advisory. I've also added content descriptions for "fantasy violence" and "suggestive themes" to the comic's existing PG-13 rating (at the top of this index page). It's important to me that you have a general sense of what to expect in the comic, and are not unpleasantly surprised by something unexpected (of course, I do aspire to pleasantly surprise you!).

Thanks as always for being here, and I hope you're enjoying Chapter 3!

Next page on Monday. Enjoy your week and weekend, and the first day of October!

September 28, 2025: Chapter 3 Launch

Chapter 3: Mordremoth's Favor begins updating today! Starting with page 1, which is this chapter's title page.

Posting a little earlier today since I'll be out(side) for most of tomorrow, and unsure I'd have time to update the site upon returning.

The rest of Chapter 2's page updates are archived here.

The Harbinger's Path is a fan-made Guild Wars 2 comic, crafted with a lot of love, care, and respect for the original IP. While I'm a former ArenaNet Creative Partner and enjoyed my time there, my Guild Wars 2 comic projects are entirely fan endeavors, unofficial, and not affiliated with ArenaNet.
