Supposedly this was book one. I just found it at the library and gave it a shot. Overall I was pleased with the art, although the dipictions of battles were a little too subtle for me. Several of the frames I had to stare at to understand who was kicking who, or who's sword is going where. The plot was meandering but at times engaging. My three-year-old seemed to enjoy it, although I hope she doesn't get any ideas from all the skanky female outfits represented. "No Sweetie, you may not dress like an orc princess."

Death knight gives a deeper history to the class that you don't see in game along with background and 'what are they doing?' For the Horde and Alliance representatives of this group.When you first make a Death Knight you become first familiar with these two (Koltira and Thassarion) in passing, the first actual encounter being Thass sending you on a suicide mission to save his good friend.The manga follows these to after the battle at Lights Hope, along with telling you how they got where they are. It follows Thass' story mostly as Koltira's is basic and told within the horde only quest line in Dragonblight.What I loved most about this was that it shows just how deep their friendship is beyond from what we see. Surpassing their initial hatred and rivalry.

L’avevo già letto in passato, ricordavo poco e quel poco che ricordavo non era nulla di buono XP, con questa rilettura ne ho avuto la riconferma. Nonostante la presenza di personaggi (tipo Sylvanas) e temi (tipo il Flagello) davvero succulenti, Knaak gestisce il tutto malissimo. Una trama confusa che cerca di darsi importanza col pretesto di essere incisiva, ma i personaggi sono mere macchiette senza un briciolo di carisma, piatti come il foglio di carta su cui sono rappresentati, i presunti intrighi poi sono davvero patetici. Una storia né carne né pesce a cui le illustrazioni dallo stile orientaleggiante si sposano malissimo, dandogli il colpo di grazia.Perché non ho dato una stella? Perché la copertina è intrigante dai, però ecco, tenetela ben chiusa e non aprite questo volume che delle meraviglie che il mondo di Warcraft ha da offrire ha giusto marchio.

Months have passed since the cataclysmic Battle of Mount Hyjal, which put an end to the Burning Legion's invasion. Most Legion forces on Azeroth have been slain or driven into hiding. Yet now a mysterious energy rift in the mountains of Kalimdor propels three heroes to the distant past: the dragon mage Krasus, the human wizard Rhonin, and the weathered orc veteran Broxigar. It is a time long before orcs, humans, or even high elves roamed the world. A time that marks the Legion's first invasion of Azeroth, brought about by Queen Azshara and other night elf nobles. A time when the Dragon Aspects are at the height of their power -- unaware that one of their own will soon turn on the world he was charged to protect.

Behind the legend stands a being hungry for justice and vengeance as the adventure, intrigue, and heroism of World of Warcraft, the global phenomenon, rise to a new level.You are not prepared. Illidan Stormrage is one of the most powerful beings ever to walk the lands of Azeroth. He is also one of the least understood. Behind his legend, beneath his enigmatic mission, lies a brilliant mind whose machinations are comprehended by few—and trusted by even fewer. Illidan’s righteous reign of justice and vengeance has begun. Long ago, the night elf sorcerer Illidan infiltrated the demonic Burning Legion to ward off its invasion of Azeroth. Instead of hailing him as a hero, his own kind branded him the Betrayer, questioning his intentions after he appeared to aid the demon lords. For ten thousand years, he languished in prison—vilified, isolated, but never forgetting his purpose. Now the Legion has returned, and there is only one champion who can truly stand against it. Released from his bonds, Illidan prepares for the final confrontation in the alien realm of Outland, gathering an army of grotesque fel orcs, serpentine naga, cunning blood elves, and twisted demon hunters to his side. He alone knows what deeply hidden motives guide his hand; he alone understands the price that must be paid to defeat the enemies of creation. Yet as before, he is assailed by those who see his schemes as a cynical quest for power, including the night elf Maiev Shadowsong, his former jailor. Warden Shadowsong and her Watchers have pursued the Betrayer to Outland to exact retribution for his crimes, and she will not rest until Illidan is in her custody . . . or in his grave.

There, acting warchief Garrosh Hellscream has employed a brutal new tactic to conquer the region and crush its night elf defenders, a move that will cripple the Alliance's power throughout the World of Warcraft.Unaware of the disaster brewing in Ashenvale, the night elves' legendary leaders, High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind and Archdruid Malfurion Stormrage, conduct a summit near Darnassus in order to vote the proud worgen of Gilneas into the Alliance. However, resentment of Gilneas and its ruler, Genn Greymane, runs deep in Stormwind's King Varian Wrynn. His refusal to forgive Genn for closing his nation off from the rest of the world years ago endangers more than just the summit: it threatens to unravel the Alliance itself.Varian's animosity is only one of many unsettling developments in Darnassus. An uneasiness creeps over the once-immortal night elves as the first of them fall victim to the infirmities of age. While they cope with their mortality, tensions flare over the reintroduction of the Highborne, formerly the highest caste of night elf nobility, into their society. Many night elves are unable to pardon the Highborne for the destruction unleashed on Azeroth millennia ago by their reckless use of magic.When a murdered Highborne is discovered on the outskirts of Darnassus, Malfurion and Tyrande move to stop further bloodshed and unrest by appointing one of the night elves' most cunning and skilled agents to find the killer: the renowned warden Maiev Shadowsong. Yet with all that is transpiring in Darnassus, the Alliance might be powerless to stop the relentless new warchief Garrosh from seizing the whole of Ashenvale.
