The '''[[World of Warcraft]] Comic''' is a comic series set in [[Blizzard Entertainment]]'s ''[[War CraftWarcraft]]'' 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.

{{tropelist}}
=== The comic contains examples of the following tropes: ===
 
* [[All There in the Manual]]: 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.
Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Varian' scars.
* [[Implacable Man]]: King Varian. Lo'gosh.
* [[Large Ham]]: Dear God, ''everyone''. Most people in this comic speak like they're in [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|Sparta.]]
* [[Knife Nut]]: Valeera.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Valeera Sanguinar, Jaina Proudmoore, Garona.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Valeera '''Sanguin'''ar is a Blood Elf.
* [[Narm]]: EVERYTHING, much to the comic's detriment. Of particular note is this little exchange in issue #14:
{{quote| '''Varian Wrynn''': '''[[Large Ham|If you want my kingdom, you'll have to take it the old-fashioned way!]]''' With '''blood''' and '''iron!'''<br />
'''Onyxia''': [[Chewing the Scenery|Black dragons are]] '''[[Chewing the Scenery|made]]''' [[Chewing the Scenery|of blood and iron!]] [[Chewing the Scenery|And we kill with]] '''[[Chewing the Scenery|lava]]''' [[Chewing the Scenery|and]] '''[[Chewing the Scenery|magic!]]''' *shoots lava burst*<br />
'''Varian Wrynn''': '''[[Chewing the Scenery|SO DO HUMANS!]]''' }}
** The worst part is, Onyxia's line would have been pretty good if she'd just stopped at one sentence.
* [[The Obi-Wan]]: Broll Bearmantle is wise, noble, and the guy who generally coaxes both Lo'gosh and Valeera to greatness.
* [[Power Trio]]: Varian, Broll and Valeera. Also Thrall, Rehgar and Garrosh.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Broll, headed to Teldrassil off-screen.
* [[Red Right Hand]]: 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.
