It’s kid of novel-like in that way, as Blizzard’s Chris Metzen, Matt Burns, and Robert Brooks have combined to pen this volume. Of course, this book gets much deeper than the games ever did in terms of storyline. I should add too, that even though I was a huge fan of the original Warcraft and its two sequels, it’s really neat to read its narratives fleshed out in written form. But then it also digs deep into World of Warcraft, which again is particularly nice for me since I have little to no knowledge about the happenings in that game. The tome covers everything up to and right on through that last single-player focused title in the series. So with that in mind, this book became particularly nice for me. Man is this cool stuff.īefore I get any deeper though, I should point out that I am not a fan of this franchise past Warcraft III. I never realized just how much sci-fi is melded in with the fantasy elements of Warcraft till I read through it all in one place. OH and yes, I mean to say universe there specifically. Instead, World of Warcraft Chronicle Volume 3 reads more like an historical text. The book chronicles the history of Blizzard’s universe, and does so pretty completely. I was under the assumption it was, but that could not be more wrong. The history of Azeroth, with a few pictures for good measureįirst things first- this is not an art book in any way.

The publisher has a book that’s the third in a series from them, and shines like a dwarven forge. There’s some for sure, but even with the flop of a movie, there’s been a definite dearth of action figures ( good action figures) and books made available.īucking that trend though, is Dark Horse. Shockingly so, I’d say.ĭespite all that though, there is not a ton of “stuff” surrounding the franchise. No, it’s not as big as it might have been at its height, but it’s still mighty popular. World of Warcraft is still a beast after all. Blizzard created a constantly evolving world of orcs, elves, and dragons that’s been rolling since the 90s, and it looks like it’s not likely to go away any time soon. There’s a good argument to be made that it is. Is there a more classic and iconic video game fantasy property than Warcraft? Sure Dungeons and Dragons and the Warhammer worlds are older at this point, but in terms of video games specifically, is Warcraft the most storied? It’s deep, it’s loaded with detail, and it’s got some of the coolest Warcraft artwork you’re likely to see anywhere. Dark Horse’s third volume of Warcraft lore brings fans a comprehensive history of Blizzard’s fantasy universe.
