Storyline: Through the Mirror Darkly
Date: July 16, 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: Walter Simonson
Artists: Jon Buran and Jerome K. Moore

Synopsis: Lo’Gosh, Valeera, Broll, and Thargas make their way to Ironforge via a circuitous route through the Wetlands. And back in Stormwind, Prince Anduin suspects all is not as it seems with his father, King Varian.

Opinion: OMG!! I know I keep saying this but these issues get better and better! This one was the best I’ve read yet! The story line is easy to follow, yet the plot thickens with every issue. Each character develops a little more as the heroes move toward their goal. In my haste to explain how good this issue was I may have ruined some of the plot so… click through the jump to read on and spoil it for yourself

Storyline: Part 3 of 6
Date: July 16, 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: B. Clay Moore
Artists: Carlo Barberi and Jacob Eguren

Synopsis: With the help of a new “mentor” and the Internet, Casey begins to build her new life. However, law enforcement is closing in as she learns that her first victim was a high-level military contractor. With the FBI on her tail, things could get very difficult. And she thought math finals were tough!

Opinion: Casey Blue, issue #3 begins to disappoint. I know how I said in the first issue’s review how interesting this series could be, well it’s not shaping up like that.  Casey’s character is not growing with the issues, in fact I’m beginning to really lack interest in her since I can’t find anything to agree with or latch on to about her.

Storyline: The Return
Date: June 18th, 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: Walter Simonson
Artist: Jon Buran and Jerome K. Moore

Synopsis: “The Return” begins a new story arc set in the WORLD OF WARCRAFT. Upon learning he is in fact the missing king of Stormwind, Lo’Gosh returns to reclaim his throne with his comrades-in-arms Valeera, and Broll. But all is not as it seems in the eastern kingdom, especially if one informed dwarf has anything to say about it. Enter Thargas Anvilmar!

Opinion: The World of Warcraft issue number 8 is just as good as its predecesors. The art is perfectly drawn showing the richness of the characters and the world they live in. Our heros are once again brought to life with detail and imagination in the art and the writing.

Storyline: Not Specified
Date: June 11th, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writers: Peter Johnson and Zev Barow
Artists: Jeremy Haun and Phil Noto

Synopsis: The hit NBC television series comes to comics as Chuck Bartowski and his friends are about to take the world by storm—literally! From series co-executive producer Peter Johnson (Supernatural: Rising Son) and series writer Zev Borow joined with artists Jeremy Haun (The Leading Man) and Phil Noto (Jonah Hex) comes an adventure too big for television!

In this globe-trotting, action-packed adventure, Chuck will see many exotic locales, dodge numerous bullets, and be tortured by the world’s greatest…tickler?

Opinion: For those of you who watched the show last fall, Chuck issue #1 is a great follow up. The art does a great job of capturing likenesses of the people who played in the show and the story line has all the same elements that the episodes on TV did.  One complaint I have is the script is not as campy with humor as the TV show.  If we’re going to make comparisons the script writers for the show did a better job at the humor than the comic.  Chuck’s jokes are usually enjoyable in the show, in the comic they fall dead.  No pun intended.

Story Line: Part 2 o 6
Date: June 18th 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: B. Clay Moore
Artist: Carlo Barberi and Drew Geraci

Synopsis: The exciting new series continues as Casey Blue finds juggling her old life with her new one can be a difficult experience…especially when she’s being hunted for a murder she can’t remember! And does the mysterious woman whom holds the answers an ally…or an enemy?

Opinion: I can’t believe the second issue of Casey Blue is already here! Thank god for that since I’ve been waiting anxiously ever since the ending of the first issue. Lucky for all the fans of Casey she was not arrested or even caught by the cop while she was covered in blood.  However aside from that question being answered this issue was a bit of a let down.

Don’t get me wrong the art was still great, the plot and story line are moving along nicely (if you can follow the halting progress it makes), and Casey’s character did develop rather significantly. However those are really the only good things I can say about this issue.

Story Line: Ongoing
Date: June 11th 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: B. Clay Moore
Artist: Carlo Barberi and Drew Geraci

Synopsis: Casey Blue is an average high school senior — she studies hard with an eye toward college, enjoys extracurricular sports, and likes spending time with friends and family…until the moment she savagely murders a stranger with her bare hands, leading to revelations about her role in preventing a full-scale invasion of earth! The only problem? She has no idea she’s humanity’s salvation!

Opinion: Casey blue issue #1 is a must read! The HUGE twist in the middle is totally worth your time and money.  I don’t even have a good example of the story to help you decide for yourself whether or not its a good buy.   I will say that if you are new to the comic industry or are just tired of the same old crap this is a story line to get into.

Storyline: Revelations
Date: May 21, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Walter Simonson
Artist: Ludo Lullabi and Sandra Hope

Synopsis: During a sea voyage to Menethil Harbor, Lo’Gosh is attacked by the naga, led by a powerful female siren. Further secrets of Lo’Gosh’s past are revealed and Valeera proves far more powerful — and more vulnerable — than any, but Broll, had suspected.

Opinion: World of Warcraft episode #7 continues to impress! I know I keep saying how much of a nerd/fan I am of the whole WOW adventure but this comic series is just as fun as the game itself! In this latest episode our unlikely heroes head toward “civilization” and run into some trouble along the way.

The art continues to do justice to the characters created by Blizzard, for those of you scratching your heads, that’s the company that creates the World of Warcraft game online. In this recent episode the Naga attack from the bottom of the ocean, just our of pure spite of the “land dwellers.”

Storyline: Blood
Date: April 16, 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Walter Simonson
Artist: Ludo Lullabi and Sandra Hope

Synopsis: The past comes alive as our heroes reach Theramore, where the lore of Jaina Proudmore reveals Lo’Gosh’s hidden identity. But has it truly done so? Meanwhile, life’s not easy and definitely not for a blood elf. Valeera is trying to help her friends, but things will get complicated while the human assasin is getting closer to Lo’Gosh.

Opinion: The World of Warcraft comic does a good job of bringing the World of Warcraft universe alive and together into one story.  Admittedly I have the most experience with the video game, though the art in the comic book does reflect the art with the cards.  I have got into the recent story in episode 6 so I’ve missed most of what is going on.  However, I will say that the story can be started at any episode, the book does a nice job of catching you up with what you missed and still continuing the story.

For those of you who play the video game this is a fantastic comic!  Read my full review of this comic after the jump!
