I haven’t been a big fan of the whole Alliance-centric direction of the Wildstorm World of Warcraft comics, and I picked up the whole Varian Wrynn saga mostly out of a completist impulse rather than actual concern for the story or its characters. I also thought Ludo Lullabi had better samples of art on his personal site than what he showed in the comic, so when I found out the next story arc was going to be pencilled by Jon Buran , I wasn’t too concerned. Buran is doing tremendous work so far. Of course, we all soon learned why Lullabi left the book — he was tasked with illustrating the Ashbringer story . The good news is that the Ashbringer comics which follow the story of the legendary blade showcase some of Lullabi’s best work yet (with assists from Tony Washington). This owes largely to the spectacular coloring, done Painter -style by either Lullabi himself or an uncredited colorist. The painted covers by Chris Robinson add a sense of awe and wonder to the series, and each issue of the four-parter is rich with lore because it was written by Blizzard’s own Micky Neilson. Even better news is that DC Comics has collected the mini-series in a hardcover edition available at your friendly neighborhood comic shop for $19.99. So soon after picking up Warcraft Legends , I think I’ll need to make a little more space on my shelves… Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Fan stuff , Lore , Comics Ashbringer TPB out now originally appeared on WoW.com on Sat, 30 May 2009 12:00:00 EST.
