The lore of "World of Warcraft" is freakin' huge.
So if you're writing a comic book about it, where do you start?
When comics publishing imprint Wildstorm asked veteran comic book scribe and artist Walter Simonson ("Thor," "Orion") to write the new "World of Warcraft" comic, he thought it "sounded fun." But it also turned out to be a lot of work. To prepare for writing the comic (in addition to going directly to game developer Blizzard Entertainment), Simonson pored over the novels and the manga comics, and he and his wife Louise conducted extensive research on the web (on comprehensive sites such as WoWWiki).
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
But will WoW players break from the game long enough to read it?
