Publication history
Publication history
At the time of its conception, the ongoing comic was set for two story arcs, both six issues each. Both were set concurrent with the events of The Burning Crusade. Later, it was expanded to last 25 issues. World of Warcraft: Ashbringer is a four-issue mini-series that ran from late 2008 to early 2009. It was written by Micky Neilson, with pencils by Ludo Lullabi and inks by Tony Washington. On December 16, 2009, WildStorm stated that the publication of the World of Warcraft comic series had been changed from monthly issues to original graphic novels to be released in 2010. The special, World of Warcraft: Beginnings and Ends, would be the last issue released and both the original comic (planned to be renamed to Alliance from issue 26) and the future Horde title had been canceled.
