This was a nice little thing, yet I have a big issue with it. By showing the last frames of old Anduin alongside Velen, Blizzard put themselves into a lore box they would most likely want to break by the time our precious boy-king would grow and age. Plus Velen would have to stay very alive and safe as well, his character not evolving. Unless it is some alternative version of the future, which was not hinted at. I’d definitely prefer to not hear these comics are not canon anymore in a few years from now.

Nice character study.

Read this review and more on my blog, uncovered-books.
Boy am I glad that I have finished this World Of Warcraft: Legion mini-series. Even though I have not played World Of Warcraft, I would have thought that this series may have persuaded me to give it a shot. It had actually done the opposite. My friends in high school did a better job of making it sound exciting than what I got.
The story of this final issue was around the son of a fallen King, and how he plans to go about the war to come. He has enemies trying to convince him that his father’s way was better, and now he will lose because he plans to go about this war very differently. This talk between them, whilst giving a good back story to the fallen King’s son, did not excite or entertain me. It just set up how his decision at the end of it is down to his either upholding his personal belief or listening to his enemy and going back to how his father was fighting this ongoing war.
The artwork was neither here nor there. Because we got the fallen King’s son backstory in the form of flashbacks, it jumps around to various stages in his life, which calls for drastically different colour palette’s that at times, do not mix. Aside from that, it did nothing to impress me. The characters did not seem to have much life or personality, and overall it just felt very bland.
With all 4 issues in the series being free (at the time of my writing this), you will not lose anything if you decided to read them.

Best of the bunch. I love how they included Varian's final words to Anduin throughout the comic.

One of four short comics that were part of the pre-Legion hype. This one is my second favorite, mostly because it shows the start of the growth Anduin went through during both Legion and BfA. If you don't care much for the Alliance, then you won't care much for this. It's a nice little filler, but not much more than that.

Heavy on Familiar Lore, Light on the Action & Passion
I was comfortable jumping into issue #4 as a freebie on Amazon having played World of Warcraft since its inception. Great news on the artwork: appealing cover, colourful comic throughout, a bit on the cartoony style but is likely preference. There's a decent flow here with the introduction to who Anduin, heir to the Stormwind throne, is as a boy and king. A small piece of action, but mostly lore. Kudos then go to Dark Horse for translating the spirit of the game to comic form in a faithful way.
The problem with World of Warcraft lore is that it rhymes with bore, not accidentally so. If you've played the game, this comic is pretty much a copy-paste of the cut-scenes in-game. There are no groundbreaking revelations and the dialogue sounds like every DC/Marvel comic minus the *biff* and *pow*. For an issue centered around humans, more 'soul' would be appreciated, or at least some ingenuity. Collector of all things World of Warcraft would likely want to have this handy when servers are down.

I recently finished reading 'World of Warcraft - Anduin: Son of the Wolf' and was truly captivated by Anduin as a character. What I appreciate most about Anduin is his complex personality—his deep sense of duty, coupled with his enduring hope and compassion, makes him one of the most compelling characters in the Warcraft universe. I'm particularly excited about his return in the upcoming expansion, The War Within. It’s thrilling to think of how his character will evolve and impact the storyline. Additionally, I'm relieved to see the emergence of various services like Ne'rubar Palace Boosting (https://wowvendor.com/shop/wow/buy-wo...). These services are a godsend for players who want to enjoy the game without the endless grind. It allows us to experience the rich narrative and epic battles more fully, without sacrificing sleep!

What stands out most is Anduin multifaceted personality—his strong sense of responsibility paired with unwavering hope and compassion make him a standout figure in the Warcraft universe. I'm especially eager to see how his return in the upcoming expansion, The War Within, will further develop his character and influence the story. Additionally, the availability of services like the Ne'rubar Palace heroic boost(https://epiccarry.com/wow/boost/nerub...) is a huge relief. These boosts allow players to dive into the rich narrative and intense battles without the exhaustion of constant grinding, making the experience much more enjoyable and immersive.

Anduin’s layered personality—his sense of duty, hope, and compassion—makes him a standout in the Warcraft universe. Services like the Liberation of Undermine heroic boost, available at https://gamer-choice.com/in-game-serv..., make it easier to enjoy the story without the burnout of constant grinding. I’m especially excited to see how his return in The War Within will shape both his character and the broader narrative.

Anduin: Son of the Wolf
King Anduin Wrynn reads the letter from his father, Varian Wrynn.
His dad was killed in the war; Anduin succeeded his father for the throne.
The illustrations have some YA vibes; not the most sophisticated.
The story is actually interesting, though.
After thwarting his surprise attack, Anduin converses with the demon…

El que más me gustó. Muestra como la historieta puede expresar ideas en formas que para la literatura es imposible. Fue un placer leerlo, el dibujo de este y todos los demás son estelares, así que no te lo pierdas, no hay excusa.

Good comic for a great series
I like the plot of the story and felt that I was entertained, but not fully pulled in. WoW never disappoints.

Good book
It is a good book to read but the animation was not as good as the first three book.
Expected more !

I wish these issues were linked creating an actual cohesive story but I can't complain too much since they were free. Also, it gave me something to read quickly while on break at work.

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.

The comic has spoilers for legion for those of you who don't want to see them yet :)

A short but decent story that adds flavor to the game's world. It also confirms some speculation about the world's future.

Loved it. I keep devouring them too fast but it's just fascinating to see all the characters' story unfolding and the plot to reach its peak.

It keeps getting better
It's true many heroes need to die in Baylor when fighting for defending their people and their peace. Great story.
