SDCC 2015: Legendary Comics Announces ‘Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood’ Graphic Novel!

Briefly: This is exciting.

I was a huge fan of the prequel graphic novels for Legendary’s Pacific Rim and Godzilla, and I was hoping that their next massive, tentpole release, Duncan Jones’ Warcraft, would be getting the same treatment.

Well, my wish has been granted, as Legendary has just revealed that next year’s Warcraft will receive a prequel graphic novel titled Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood.

Story information for the book has bot been revealed at this point, but the “thrilling adventure of bravery, bloodshed and brotherhood is an original story conceived by Blizzard’s Chris Metzen, written by the award-winning Paul Cornell (Doctor Who) and featuring art from Mat Broome (Batman: No Man’s Land, WildC.A.T.S., Witchblade).”

The book is scheduled for release just a few weeks before the film hits theatres, in May 2016.

We’ll be sure to share more info as soon as it’s available, but for now, take a look at the key art below, and let us know if you’re excited! Legendary has a huge presence at this year’s convention, so stay tuned for more, straight from the show floor.
