Actually the "Panderans" comic is listed on book databases. Check the wowwiki page: wowwiki.com/Panderans
It seems legit to be honest. I really can't think on any excuse to not bring the Pandaren on real Warcraft lore. Just remember, back at the early ages of Warcraft both Gnomes and Tuskarr were a joke also.

If one side of the other got Pandarans there would be forum meltdowns. If you thought things like horde having one more race/class combo or alliance loosing Andorhal were bad then this would leave it for dead.
Fanboys of both sides are utterly convinced that they are the only logical fit for Pandarans.
The creator of the Pandarans - Horde fan he is - has said that if they go in game they are going Horde. Which means we are unlikely to see them in game as a playable race.
Samwise stated on a recent interview that if they're ever playable in WoW, they'll be Horde.
Edit: Took so long

I wish they could have given the Chinese motifs to a cooler race than friggin' fluffy-wuffy panda people.
Why couldn't they have given it to something like badass tiger people or maybe a new offshoot of Dragonkin that resemble Chinese dragons?

They were allies of the night elves until they saw their obsession with magic getting out of control. The clans severed ties and left Kalimdor behind eventually establishing a new home on an island they named Pandaria.
All pandaren are connoisseurs of ale and stronger drink, leading to a unique kinship with Ironforge dwarves.
Though Chen assisted Rexxar, they do not seem to be specifically affiliated with either the Horde or the Alliance.
Many of Azeroth's denizens do not owe fealty to the Alliance or Horde. Some races, such as pandaren, are independent.
Two things, that is obviously a Wildstorm logo up in the left hand corner, and its very much a drawn figure, thus it will most likely be a comic, or its a cover to a future wow comic. Mystery solved.
