I picked up the 4th volume "World of Warcraft" graphic novel compilation last week, but only got around to reading it tonight.  It compiled the final four issues of the DC WoW comic series from 2009, and a special issue which was introducing new characters for two new separate WoW comic series, which were both abruptly canceled before publishing any issues.

The story arc of the final four issues was sort of a generic epic fantasy romp, with numerous common tropes to epic tales.  Stuff like:

- an evil menace which will destroy the world
- a "chosen one" kid finds their mission/destiny (like a Luke Skywalker)
- a fallen father the kid never knew before (like an Anakin/Darth Vader), tells the kid of his origins and destiny/mission
- the "chosen one" kid gains power to defeat the menace and saves the world

Not the most original story, but typical generic epic level fare for an amusing fun fantasy story.

If I was buying this WoW comic series monthly back in 2009, I think I would have became bored kinda easily.  The first three issues (in this volume 4 WoW graphic novel) were kinda slow and dragging, sort of building up to a crescendo into the last issue with the final showdown with the evil "big boss" monster.

Okay, I'm going to say this about that link: DON'T!

WOWWiki got taken over by malware fucktards looking to hijack your shit.  3/4ths of the old team quit and founded WOWpedia.  It's already better than WOWWiki ever was, is clean of that shit and you should redirect all your WOWWiki traffic to WOWpedia instead from now on.

Thanks for the heads up.  I wasn't familiar with the stuff going behind the scenes at wowwiki.

Here's the wowpedia version of the same information, as linked from the OP.

The WoW manga series is slightly more original in the story department so you may wanna track those down(there technically psudo manga since theres not a single asain person involved in the creative side) i think tokyopop published them as compendium volumes last year so they should still be available.
