World of Warcraft News - Comics

Posted by Keith Cross on Nov 16, 2007  | 7 comments in our forums

Blizzard has added yet another item to the World of Warcraft marketing juggernaught as yesterday marked the launch of World of Warcraft comics...

The new World of Warcraft monthly comic series hits stands today! This new ongoing series kicks off with part 1 of a 6-part story arc written by Walter Simonson (THOR, SUPERMAN) and illustrated by sensational French artist Ludo Lullabi and Sandra Hope (JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA)! Each issue of the 6-issue story features two different covers: one by comic book legend Jim Lee and the other by Blizzard's very own Samwise Didier!

Is this really necessary? I think this will ruin the community a bit more by attracting kids.

Says the 14 year old kid.

 

They already have manga out, and a large percentage of the people who read/collect comics are adults.

You obviously are clueless to the fact that the major demographic for comics these days is the 20-40 crowd.

I've read it, and I expected much more. Neither the art nor the script are very well done. At least not in the Marvel, DC or Dark Horse comics league. I thought with their money they would hire real talents in the industry, like Frank Cho or someone similar.

Complete waste of my time reading it.

I wouldn't bother. The manga was absolute garbage. Boring, stale characters, art was just soso, and the "story" is worse than generic... it's generic and banality's lovechild.

The preview six pages aren't exactly bad, but not good either...
