DC Comics To Create World Of Warcraft Comic
DC Comics has announced that they will be releasing a comic book series of Blizzard Entertainment’s popular online game World Of Warcraft. The WOW comic series will be published through its WildStorm label and is scheduled to be released this fall.
Preview art from the upcoming series will be shown at Comic-Con International, which will be held in San Diego, CA from July 26–29.
According to the official statement:
“The ongoing monthly series will be written by industry veteran Walter Simonson (Thor, ORION) and feature art by Ludo Lullabi and inker Sandra Hope. The first six issues of the WORLD OF WARCRAFT comic series will each feature two covers, one by superstar comic book artist Jim Lee and a second by Blizzard Entertainment Senior Art Director Samwise Didier.”

This might be a good way to learn about the Warcraft universe in advance of the WoW movie. Even though I played WoW for quite a while, I still don’t quite get the universe or story. It’s a lot more than Orcs vs. Humans now! The story was lost on me while I was grinding for thistle boar pelts.

I think that people who play the game will likely buy the comic books just to have them - but I don’t think the comic books will do well in their own right.

The World of Warcraft cash machine rolls on for Blizzard. Warcraft already has books which sell well, so I can see this comic doing well too.

@Danielle:
If it wasn’t for the tie-in with the game, the comic would probably not stand on its own yeah
@Tech-rant:
Because of the game, yes it will.
