Comics

Were you looking for graphic novels also called manga or World of Warcraft Penny Arcade comics?

This article or section contains lore taken from the Warcraft manga or comics.

The Comic series

The original comic series leaned its focus more towards the Alliance rather than the Horde. In response Wildstorm intended to spinoff a Horde series and continue the original series as an Alliance centric comic begining with issue 26. This has since been cancelled, however, in favor of releasing the stories in graphic novel form instead.
