World Of Warcraft Graphic Novel
World of warcraft never really had any non-graphic novel comics. Even the books that were published as comic books were obviously written for the trade format, so I'm just going to talk about all of them. For some reason, a large group of the comics are drawn in manga style and published in manga formatting.Ordered by their influence on the games1. The ongoing series published by wildstorm is the most important, focusing on King Varian Wrynn and later on Med'an.
Written by Richard A. The story arc featuring Med'an is legendary amongst lore fans for the utter ridiculous over-the-top Mary sue-ness of that character.2. World of Warcraft: Ashbringer focuses on the formation of the scarlet crusade and the argent dawn. Important in relation to the events of Wrath of the Lich King.
Written by Micky Deilson.3. World of Warcraft: Curse of the Worgen focuses on the worgen, both in ancient history, and how they overrun modern Gilneas. Written by Micky Deilson.4. World of warcraft: the sunwell trilogy. Focuses on Anveena, a young elven girl who is also somehow the power of the sunwell, I think. Seriously, this series has always confused the hell out of me, and I can never seem to remember what happens in it despite having read the series several times. It is drawn in manga style and published in manga format.
It introduces Kalecgos, who has some influence on the story of the sunwell and the new blue aspect.5. World of warcraft: Shadow Wing is also in the manga style and format. It acts as sort of a sequel to the sunwell trilogy, focusing on the continued story of the blue and nether dragonflights. I haven't read it myself, but it apparently is important in relation to Malygos and his madness.6. World of Warcraft: Death knight/mage/shaman are three unrelated books in manga style revolving around the story of a single secondary character. Death knight is the most important, introducing Thassarian. Shaman centers around Muln Earthfury and gives some good info regarding the grimtotems.

The World of Warcraft: Dark Riders Graphic Novel shows four characters on the front cover. These fit the class and race profile shown in World of Warcraft Special # 1 for the characters that were to debut in the cancelled ongoing series: World of Warcraft: Alliance # 26.
Mage is pretty unimportant, setting up the bits of Dalaran in WotLK.7. World of Warcraft: legends is a collection of stories in the manga style. Honestly, I have no idea whether these things are of any importance, since I can't actually find them, or any detailed information. I've read most of the WoW comics and I have to say, if you're looking for something genuinely quite good, then go for the Ashbringer and Curse of the Worgen mini series'. They're both pretty great in their own ways, the art is fantastic and, while the dialogue is cheesy and uses bold font on every other word, they're both definitely worth a look.

Spoilers follow, fair warning.The main WoW comics series I liked until around the time we discovered Lo'gosh was actually Varian, then it went downhill fast. The good artist left to work on the aforementioned Ashbringer series and the one who replaced him wasn't great and the writing just seemed to suffer too despite the same guys working on it. Obviously Med'an is the main problem with it but I've complained myself inside out about him already so I'll just settle with saying he's the worst thing to happen to the Warcraft lore without a doubt, Rhonin and the rest of Knaak's plethora of fail don't even come close.So yeah, the main series is good for about 8 or 9 issues before nose-diving until it crashes through the ground and Aegwynn dies for no reason.
Honestly the thing I enjoyed most about it were Varian's two buddy characters Valeera Sanguinar and Broll Bearmantle, their relationship and it's development during the story along with Valeera battling her addiction to magic were the main reasons I stuck with it for so long. I'd check it out but don't go in with high expectations.The Sunwell Trilogy. I really wasn't sure what to make of this. It was the first WoW comic I read so I was fascinated at the time but looking back on it it's nothing too special. It's a decent enough read but if you opened it on any random page you could instantly tell it was a Knaak story (Sylvanas dramatically showing up towards the end only to yell at the baddie and get knocked around by him was kind of a letdown).Warcraft: Legends is just a compilation of short stories from Azeroth and beyond. Some are good, some are blindingly awful.
World Of Warcraft Novel List
There's a good one about an untainted, kind-hearted Orc among his frothy-mouthed brethren on Draenor during the culling of the Draenei saving a little Draenei girl after failing to save her parents and raising her as his own and another about the Darkmoon Faire rescuing their strongest woman in the world after she gets arrested for humiliating some arsehole lordling but the best of the lot is the one that explores the past of a simple, completely unnoticed NPC.Turns out the in Brill was a Scarlet Crusade leader and a xenophobic psychopath even by their standards. Basically, while randomly executing Forsaken and Blood Elves she kills someone she shouldn't have and, as a result, Sylvanas turns up with Varimathras and personally kills her and every single person in her unit including her young 'what if the Crusade AREN'T the good guys?' She's telling this whole story as a Forsaken to the Scarlet captive they used to have under the inn before Brill got revamped trying to get him to see the whole 'killing only brings more killing' point she's trying to make and that her and her nephew would still be alive if she hadn't been such a loon but the Scarlet is having none of it and the final, ominous comment she makes before the story ends is a reference to the quest low level Forsaken used to do where they feed this guy a poisoned pumpkin and he basically melts into a puddle of goo. There's some good stuff in there but reading through all the crap to get to it might get a bit tiring.I haven't actually read Death Knight, Mage or Shadow Wing but what I've heard of them can pretty much be summarized with 'meh'. Can't really help you there. Oooo thanks alot for the help guys.
From what iv read so far I reckon ill look into ashbringer, The worgen one even tho im Horde I guess it would be cool to learn abit about them, Warcraft Legends and maybe the sunwell series. I just wanted to cool 'arty type' books to stick on my shelf next to my wyvern and murlock plushies in all honesty lol. But I am excited to read them. Are any of the series im book format like a graphic novel that you guys know of?All of the books were published in either manga format (sunwell trilogy, shadow wing, death knight, mage, shaman, legends), or as monthly comic books (World of Warcraft, ashbringer, curse of the worgen). The former is only available in the manga format, but the latter are also collected in the trade format, which is roughly the same thing as a graphic novel.
