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.

Read my full review after the jump.

The saga continues as the lost king of Stormwind gets closer and closer to home. He and his companions arrive in Menithil harbor to get out of the storm at sea but are quickly discovered by the group of assassins who did not do their job correctly when they “killed” the lost king. The blood elf companion of the lost king struggles with her addiction to arcane energy.  Something she picked up in the last issue.

The interesting twist in this issue is the beginning of the comic where the lost king returns to Stormwind and starts to play havoc with the nobility. Of course one learns later that it is an impsoter sent by the real king’s enemies to resume control over Stormwind. At least this is what’s implied, so far it doesn’t seem like he has many cares at all, except of course for the duchess who currently is in charge of half the city.

I sound like a broken record by now but this whole story is a lot more interesting to me now that I play the online game. I can picture Stormwind and Menithil harbor and the bar the heros end up in. If you haven’t strarted already get a free trial and jump on the band wagon, you’ll enjoy the story more and you won’t watch nearly as much TV!
