I was just thinking about what a good audience surrogate type character Taliyah is and what a cool comic protagonist she'd make with her particular POV. When discussing the idea of a Taliyah comic briefly with others there seemed to be a decent amount of positive responses so I thought I'd bring the idea here too to gauge further interest, and if there is interest in such a thing, hopefully bring it to Riot's attention.
Poll below!
I'd be down, a pretty underrated champ in the lore imo
If it's pushing her story forward then yes.
You had me at "Taliyah".
I would love this so much. She has one of the most interesting stories in the game. Seeing her adventure expanded upon in the form of a comic would be a dream come true.
They still need to explain all the Shuriman events post Bloodline and push Shurimas history to the present time....cause as it is Shurimas most recent events are 4-6 years ago in the lore Timeline.
I require an Illaoi comic going into her backstory and how she became the Truth Bearer, as well as explaining how the serpent callers summon big ol' sneks and how long the indigenous witches of the Serpent Isles have been able to wield this power.
Taliyah is super cool too. Honestly a bunch of characters would be great candidates for comics.
Oh I'd love it! She's one of my favorites, but I definitely think it should be a three-way perspective between her, Sivir, and Azir if the comic is to talk about what Shurima's up to now that the empire is coming back. Maybe we would get something on Nasus trying to get Renekton back to his senses, but I think that should be its own thing and more centered around the brothers.
I used to play a lot of Taliyah, so yes, I would be interested.

We'll have to see what precedent they set with future comics... if the comics are supposed to illustrate the champs backstory, then taliyah might be a good candidate.
No, I'm tired of stories revolving around the most "human and relatable" characters we have.
We had Ashe, we are going to have Lux and we had a sh*tload of Miss Fortune lore and stuff.
I want to see some lore centered around Azir and Xerath, Aurelion Sol and Targon, The Void and the SI.
I want a damn Cho'Gath comic. I want to see him coming out of the Void. Devour shit. COME ON RIOT.
Same with Kha'Zix.
I would love a Taliyah comic, but I don't think it would be any time soon since she is pretty unpopular. But, it can also push some Shuriman lore alongside the comic.
This is conflicting to me, because while I love Taliyah, the answer is not at this moment. We've already got two coming-of-age stories in the Ashe and Lux comics, so I'd like to see something else. Someone who's not a petrified girl who's having to deal with real shit popping up in life. I feel like it's going to get done to death if they launch into a third arc that's so similar to the two they already have done.
I'd really like to see something coming out of Targon, like Taric or Leona/Diana, or a comic about someone like Singed and the depths of his insanity. I'll even take comics and stories about Master Yi, Yasuo, Shen, or Zed.
Maybe after we've had some runs of other types of stories would it be fine to return to the young girl coming-of-age story, but until then...
