by Magistrate - 8 years ago show comments
Blizzard and Dark Horse released four new comics covering big name characters and events that we’ll be exploring in World of Warcraft: Legion in just one more month.
Each comic is available free digitally straight from Blizzard, as well as through Dark Horse’s website. You can also read, watch, and listen to them for free with Madefire motion books (srsly super bigtime awesomesauce).
No. 1, titled “Fault Lines,” covers Magni Bronzebeard awakening from crystal stasis and how his daughter, Moira, deals with the fallout. Others feature Anduin, the Nightborne elves and Gul’dan, and the Highmountain tauren.
New Comics
- World of Warcraft: Legion #1—”Fault Lines”
- World of Warcraft: Legion #2—”Nightborne: Twilight of Suramar”
- World of Warcraft: Legion #3—”Highmountain: A Mountain Divided”
- World of Warcraft: Legion #4—”Anduin: Son of the Wolf”
On “Fault Lines”:
It has been four years since the dwarf king Magni Bronzebeard was cursed as he sought to protect his world, frozen as a solid diamond statue at the center of Old Ironforge. In our new Legion digital comic, “Fault Lines,” he emerges from his crystal slumber with a dire warning of dark times to come. But will his daughter, Moira, be able to set aside the pain of her past to forgive Magni and help unite her people?
We invite you to read and download the free comic here, through Dark Horse comics, or experience the action and sound of this tale through the Madefire motion book.
