 And what exactly does this have to do with Warcraft? December 11, 2007
Dragon Hunt was, by far, a disappointment. I'm sure I'm not the first to ay how excited I was to see the World of Warcraft franchise extending its hand into the world of printed media, but the result, while not horrific, was extraordinarily mediocre.
I received my copies of the first two volumes of the Sunwell Trilogy as prizes for winning one of the WoW comic contests this past year, and even the fact that I got them for free couldn't cover up how poor I thought they were. The art is impressive, I must admit, and is towards the higher-end of manga, but it's generic and in no way reflects the already gorgeous and well-established visual style within the Warcraft universe. Similarly, the writing style and storyline, as has been said in previous reviews, goes on and on like any typical high fantasy novel and has little or no reason to be set in Azeroth. World of Warcraft is renowned for its stylized design, clean gameplay, and a well-honed sense of humor- why would that then be stripped away to write a story about bishounen elves who can turn into dragons? Search me.
 Warcraft continues August 9, 2007
This is not your typical book. Because it is TokyoPop it is (forgive me) more like a comic book. As such I read it in about 20 minutes. It was entertaining though.
Decent June 27, 2007
An interesting read and imaginative take on Warcraft lore. My only real gripe about this book (and trilogy as a whole) is length. You can pretty much finish all three books in one short sitting.
Nice pictures - generic story May 17, 2007
The art is quite good, but the story and characters are generic pulp fantasy, the same as you would find in any fantasty franchise from dragonlance to forgotton realms and not very appealing.
Not a bad start January 9, 2007
I've played all the War Craft titles and have been playing WoW since launch and even have spent time inside the inner workings of Blizzard. Once again I am late in the review stack and others have done a great job so I will just say that the story is fair and the action is decent. What stands out the most is the artwork...blew me away and had me pausing at times to reflect...which is saying something seeings how my forte is reading text not artwork. Great job!
Also reading backstory and lore concerning Azeroth are never tiring and do nothing but enhance the game most of us love and are already playing. There are a few good pages of backstory on the Titans, Burning Legion, etc. prefaced in the book making it all worthwile. Good stuff and gobbled that up.
The price of the book is well worth what you get. So between the backstory and the artwork shes a winner...onto the next!
