The Complete Trilogy, February 8, 2008
This review is from: WarCraft: The Sunwell Trilogy - (Ultimate Edition) (v. 1) (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully illustrated collection of the Sunwell Trilogy, a manga-styled graphic novel released from Tokyopop. The hardcover, Ultimate collection combines all three graphic novels bound together in this hardcover book with full color intro. Included within a brand new sealed copy is a pin up poster and a card from the WoW trading card game. It's a nice edition to any WoW collector's library or who are interested in Fantasy graphic novels.

Good Art / Weak Story, June 14, 2008
This review is from: WarCraft: The Sunwell Trilogy - (Ultimate Edition) (v. 1) (Hardcover)
This is a 3 Part Manga Style Graphic Novel. The story begins and ends with this book. The story describes the creation of the Sunwell.
The artwork is black and white and really well drawn. The characters' personalities are all fairly flat. The main character is a dragon in human form, that temporarily loses his ability to transform into a dragon. He's pretty standard as far as heroes go. The story is also fairly straightforward.
I had a problem with the story because this book has a pretty big flaw. They sacrifice the reader's suspension of disbelief for a plot twist later on. When this happens, you usually stop caring about the story. If you pick up this book and you think something seems strange or weird in the first part, just keep reading. It gets explained later.
Overall, the story isn't bad; it's just flat. I mostly liked the book for the art.
Pick this up if the Sunwell really interests you, you like Manga Fantasy Art, or you collect WoW stuff.
Avoid this one if Manga Art turns you off or if you like complex stories and great characters.
