Very on the fence..., Sep 4 2009

This review is from: World of Warcraft Vol. 2 HC (Hardcover)
Having enjoyed the first WoW comic relatively well, I was looking forward to this new collection coming out in HC format. Having read the comic now, I'm not really sure it was worth the wait.The book itself is about 170 pages in length, and it definitely suffers from the lack of pages. Much of the action is muddled (a complaint echoed in the first book as well) and it feels like the plot and script is just an annoyance getting in the way of the artists wanting to draw really high action scenes.
The main storyline still revolves around Varian Wrynn - whom we met as Lo'Gosh in book one - attempting to reclaim the throne of Stormwind. However, there is an usurper who looks just like him already in Stormwind. There's some sort of mish-mash with Defias and Dark Iron Dwarves mixed in, but when you boil it down, this is the story that's supposed to go along with the Onyxia raid. There's also a half-hearted attempt to keep a side story running with Broll Bearmantle and Valeera Sanguinar (Valeera essentially plays the roll of a drug addict, and Broll her "AA Sponsor" trying to keep her clean) but it's only mentioned when convenient and used as a plot device rather than an actual storyline.
The art is still very clean, but it feels like a step down from Book One. The pencils and inks feel a lot looser and less detailed, the lines much thicker, and much of the slack is left to be picked up by the colorist (to be fair, the coloring is gorgeous). Also, as mentioned above, the layout is very poorly done - you'll often be looking at a scene that is the middle of a giant battle, some critical event happens that the characters are all yelling about, and you'll do a double/triple-take on the previous panels and still have no idea what supposedly happened.
Book 2 is worth getting if you're simply looking to finish up the story left in Book 1, but on its own neither the art nor the story is really worth the $20 cover price.

This review is from: World of Warcraft Vol. 2 (Paperback)
My son has been a WOW fan and player for several years. Now that he has read the books he loves it even more. He repeatedly reads this book from front to back and can recite most of the text word for word.

This review is from: World of Warcraft Vol. 2 HC (Hardcover)
After reading the first comic i must admit this one does seem slightly more rushed. However i don't feel it suffered much for it. Could this have been a better more in depth comic? yes. But, it serves its purpose explaining the lore that it was written to explain so in my opinion it gets the job done. Is it worth the price tag? For a someone interested in Warcraft lore I say yes, if not then no.
