A Warrior Made part 2: While a bit cliche but still nice to see Draka get to become the warrior we know her to become during the First War.
Warrior United: It is nice to see the twins and it was cool to see them battle some of the bosses of karazhan like Moroes, Aran, and Illhoof granted I would I have preferred if they had encourted some of the more famous bosses like the Opera or the Chess Event but still a nice story and while they do not succeed at least they have a sweet ending and I do like that it hints that Karazhan keeps souls trapped inside.
The First Guardian: An okay story even if it is a bit boring. A story that focuses on the Council of Trisfal even though it really does not go that far into the group however it is pretty much just a long fight with a standard Dreadlord.
A Cleansing Fire: Finally we get a story on the Headless Horsemen, probably the best holiday boss ever in WoW history. I do love that they mirror the story of the headless horsemen with Arthas as both of them are in basically the same situation. Both of the face what seems to be an endless enemy as they both are trying desperately to find some way of protecting and doing what they believe is right. And then they finally snap and giving and become a monster. It is a really good story and it does explain everything about the Headless Horsemen now if only we can get a proper holiday boss raid.
Nightmares: A really good story that dives into the nightmares of three different but prominent lore characters. Thrall, Magni, and Jaina seeing what they fear and still regret. We see Magni still fearful about what might happen to his daughter because of the Dark Iron Dwarves and Ragnoras which does end on a pretty terrifying idea. Thrall still having issues dealing with the death of Taretha as we see him basically having a Groundhog's day type dream with him facing Blackmoore. And finally with Jaina who is having a nightmare about her not helping arthas more become him becoming the Lich King which does have a really cool ending.

Hallow's End is my favorite WoW holiday, so it was fun to read the tragic backstory of the Headless Horseman. Other stories are worth reading too.

I think I've said everything about this comic collection that I wanted to say in the previous reviews.
This volume had a hot undead mage guy in it and so my review gets 5 stars.

I didn't know the Headless Horseman's story. I knew he was connected to Scarlet Crusade as that is his dungeon, but I didn't know the full story. 10 outta 10.

Good stories and they made the silly Headless Horsemen character into an interesting tragic figure.

Similar as the previous volumes. the wow stories contained in these volumes feel like long chained quest lines. This lore lives and breaths the WOW universe 100% and is a lot more fun than to read through with the great pencils and ink. Much preferred to killing 20X mobs to progress in a quest chain ;). 2 of the stores in volume 5 are continuations from previous volumes - but the introduction covers the main points so you probably don't need to have read their part 1s.
You'd have to know the very basics of the WC3/WOW universe to appreciate the dream story (final story) at the end which was superb (basics such as Arathas picking up frostmoune to become the lich king, Thrall being raised by humans)
Volume 5 completes the legend series. I missed out on volume 3.

Interesting stories, these give me a helpful information about knowing the game's world better. Now the game feels more deeper. My favourite story was the one that explained who is the man that has a pumpkin head. What a tragic story.

Several fun Warcraft manga stories. Not too shabby. =)

More history of Draka, the origin of the Headless Horseman, Nightmares?! Legends 5 is definitely a favourite of mine! Nightmares and 'Warrior Made' being my favourite two stories within this volume!
