A ComicBook series set in Creator/BlizzardEntertainment's ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' universe and released monthly in a standard western comic format. The World of Warcraft comic is set to run for twenty-five issues (October, 2007-January, 2010) and chronicles the adventures of Lo'gosh the amnesiac gladiator as he rises up and discovers his true identity. The comic is published by Wildstorm and written by Walter Simonson with Louise Simonson.

As of December 2009, the old crew of the comic was completely replaced and the comic split into 2 different series: ''World Of Warcraft: Alliance'' and ''World Of Warcraft: Horde''.

It is a major part of the Franchise/WarcraftExpandedUniverse. In fact, many plot points are brought into the game by way of patches.

----
!!This comic book series provides examples of the following:

* AllThereInTheManual: A lot of King Varian's character development is in the comic book instead of the game, which leads to complaints from the fans who don't buy it.
** The reverse is also true from those who don't play WOW but read the comic.
* AmnesiacDissonance: Rough and tumble Lo'gosh is actually [[spoiler: The noble King Varian of Stormwind.]]
* BadassNormal: Both King Varian of Stormwind and Lo'gosh are able to kick ass in a world of ridiculously powerful wizards and demons. [[spoiler: Which is understandable since they are the same man.]]
* BoldInflation: Lots and lots.
* BusCrash: [[spoiler:Aegwynn,]] from the viewpoint of ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' fans who have wondered about [[spoiler:her]] whereabouts but didn't ''read'' the comic.
* CoolSword: The weapons of Lo'Gosh and Varian.
* {{Determinator}}: King Varian.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Valeera Sanguinar's struggle with Fel magic is meant to be a nod to heroin addiction.
* EvilChancellor: Lady Prestor is actually [[spoiler: Onyxia the Black Dragon.]]
* FantasticRacism: King Varian of Stormwind HATES orcs. To a lesser extent, everyone hates Blood Elves too.
* FighterMageThief: Rehgar Earthfury's gladiator team. Lo'gash is the Fighter. Broll is the Mage. Valeera is the Thief.
* GladiatorGames
* GladiatorRevolt: Lo'gosh wants to do this but the problem is the "Evil Overlord" is Thrall who is a good guy.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Varian' scars.
* ImplacableMan: King Varian. Lo'gosh.
* KnifeNut: Valeera.
* LargeHam: Dear God, ''everyone''. The speech of most people in this comic is PunctuatedForEmphasis
* TheMentor: Broll Bearmantle is wise, noble, and the guy who generally coaxes both Lo'gosh and Valeera to greatness.
* MsFanService: Valeera Sanguinar, Jaina Proudmoore, Garona.
* MeaningfulName: Valeera '''Sanguin'''ar is a Blood Elf.
* PowerTrio: Varian, Broll and Valeera. Also Thrall, Rehgar and Garrosh.
* PutOnABus: Broll, headed to Teldrassil off-screen.
* RedRightHand: The non-evil Broll Bearmantle sports a pair of antlers that everyone just shrugs off. Then again, it IS Azeroth. They've probably seen weirder sights.
** With druids being rather rare, they've probably shrugged it off as a sign of his druidic powers. Which is the case, although only a few druids are known to have done so, such as Furion Stormrage.
* RightfulKingReturns: One of the storylines.
* ReTool: The comic is being split into 2 different series, each of which will have a completely new creative team. Hopefully they'll do a better job.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: King Varian, the [[WarriorPrince Warrior King]].
* SaveThePrincess: Save The Prince.
* ScaledUp: [[spoiler:Lady Prestor]].
* {{Stripperiffic}}: ...Just about every female character, especially Valeera.
