This was such a nice comic, I love to see Moira. However, she should've kicked Magni's ass off that cliff into the lava when she had the chance to.

This was cool, in particular the bit about father and daughter.

Read this review and more on my blog, uncovered-books.
I have never played World of Warcraft, so I went into this knowing absolutely nothing. I went into this hoping that it may inspire me to start playing the game. Unfortunately, this first issue has not done this.
The storyline in this first issue seemed a lot more like setup than anything else. We start by finding out the King has been frozen in a statue for 4 years, and that his daughter does not feel like she is wanted as
The colour-range seemed very limited and seemed to take away from the energy of the page. The artwork itself was not amazing either. Even though it is based on a video game, it seemed very blocky and chunky.
An interesting setup that leaves you wondering what preceded it, and what is to come.

Kind of bland. Not long enough to really show who the characters are, and you only get the slightest glossed-over explanation of what's going on. Feels more like a ploy to hype the Legion installment of WoW than anything substantial or able to stand alone. Pretty nice art, though.
2 out of 5 stars.

Great touch up for dwarf fans
It is a short work but it is quite effective at legion hype for ironforge fans. As a Moira fangirl I adored the attention it gave her character's complexity rather than the more typical one_dimensional treatment in the game.
The art is incredibly evocative, almost organic in how it compliments the earthy dwarven setting. It's just a teaser for (hopefully) grand designs in legion, but there's a lot to chew on.

And it begins...
The events leading up to Legion finally begin to emerge! It's nice to see an Alliancemen come back after all that transpired on Draenor.

Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass der Comic weit mehr als nur Werbung für ein Spiel-Update ist. Die wenigen Seiten hinterlassen einen bleibenden, tiefen Einblick in die epische Fantasy-Lore von World of Warcraft. Der Comic bietet einen einzigartigen Fokus. Statt gigantischer Schlachten nimmt dich die Story Zeit für die Psychologie der Zwerge. Leider ist der Comic insgesamt viel zu kurz und macht Lust auf mehr. Er richtet sich eher an Fans und ist weniger für WoW-Einsteiger oder Nichtspieler geeignet.

Overdone Angry Warrior Princess
The art is OK though I found some scenes chaotic. Hard to make out the imagery, especially with the "stone king". The story immediately sets the tone for an angry princess-turned-warrior-leader who laments that she wasn't the son/heir that daddy wanted. Follow this with her self-righteous zeal for "equal representation" and you've lost my interest.

Short, but engaging.
The artwork is vivid and the story includes zero filler. The dialogue between daughter and father nails the emotion.
It's building up to something big, so this is the perfect start.

Muy buena pieza de acompañamiento para los fans del juego, en especial si son seguidores del canon histórico. Me gustó que detrás de todo hubo una historia de redención entre padre el hija. Creo que es gratis, así que no se pierde nada al leer.

One of four short comics released as part of the pre-Legion hype. Nice art, just enough lore to get people started on the background lore, didn't add much for myself, being a lore-nerd. My third favorite of the four.

Pretty good
I don't know all that much about World of Warcraft. That said, it was still easy enough to follow that it didn't really matter. Its a good start, with a sweet ending.

An interesting, short comic with World of Warcraft lore.

It was a nice little comic with extra lore, suggest to anyone interested in Dwarf lore.

Un cómic corto pero entretenido.

Very short
Very short - but it’s a nice little World Of Warcraft backstory (filler maybe?) centered on the Dwarves that is meant as a lead up to “The Legion” content.

Good read
Almost anything with dwarfs is a good read, that's if you can follow their broken English 😈 I love anything WoW

Very interesting
It is a very good way to start this serie. I like the graphics and plot. And also that it is based on World of Warcraft :)

I am reading all comics from the past three expansions, and this was one of the stronger issues for sure.

Really short but it was free and it's WOW, so why not?

I've never played WOW, but I liked this. I like Fantasy, and I love strong female characters.

Estuvo muy bien, con ganas de saber cómo continúa la historia pero demasiado corto para mí gusto.

Set in Old Ironforge.
King Magni was turned to stone four years ago. His daughter, Moira, has come to visit him.
Muradin and the priests have encouraged her visit, suggesting that it might be what the king needs to wake up.
There have been many changes during Magni’s absence. And the clans have drastically different reactions to the revelations.
The speech patterns are not consistent. It’s obviously meant to mimic some sort of vernacular; what sort that is remains unclear.
Magni’s visions: the spear, the molten iron, the demons…a dire forecast, indeed.
Interesting cliffhanger…sounds like we are are just getting started.

Obviously I didn't read this in Italian, but there is no entry for the English version and I'm too lazy to make one.
I play WoW, but don't normally read books about it. This I grabbed on my Kindle because it was cheap and I thought a graphic novel would be interesting to read. It was shorter than I expected, but I enjoy having the lore come to life in this way.

I have always been intrigued in World of Warcraft but don't know the story and this was amazing! I'd love to really get into this more.

A very short, but fairly decent flavoring to the Warcraft universe.
