The mighty Sunwell, a fount of unbridled mystical power, was the essence of the high elves' lives. As much a part of their existence as eating or breathing, the Sunwell enabled the high elves to build their magnificent cities, mold the land to their purposes, and make for themselves whatever they desired...until a terrible act of betrayal decimated the high elves and seemingly destroyed the Sunwell forever. Now, a young blue dragon races against the forces of the undead Scourge to locate any remainder of the Sunwell before its awesome energies can be used for destruction!Set in the mystical world of Azeroth, Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogy chronicles the adventures of Kalecgos, Anveena, Tyrygosa, and Jorad Mace as they take on vengeful bounty hunters, traverse the treacherous Lordaeron wastelands, and fight for their lives against the Ghostlands' restless dead!Originally released as a three-volume series, the entire Sunwell Trilogy is collected here in a single gorgeous volume along with exclusive, never-before-seen bonus material, including:An eight-page, full-color prologue written by Richard Knaak and illustrated by Jae-Hwan KimColor art gallery including covers to all three original volumesArtist's sketchbook: behind-the-scenes development art by Jae-Hwan KimAfterword by Chris Metzen, VP Creative of Blizzard Entertainment--the company that created WarcraftAn Upper Deck World of Warcraft trading card illustrated by Jae-Hwan KimA full-color unbound Warcraft: The Sunwell Trilogypin-up suitable for framing From the minds of Jae-Hwan Kim, creator of War Angels and artist of the best-selling King of Hell series, and Richard A.

Well written Manga but not visually appealing enough |
Firstly I'll talk about the cost. It is a good deal as you'll be able to get 3 volumes into a hardcover book at a much discounted price.
The story wise is wonderful and the drawings are amazing. However the lack of colours makes the Manga not as visually appealing as it should be. |

Hello |

Very easy read. Despite its size its a very fast story to get through. Art work is great and overall presentation of the book is worth the price alone. Im not into the gaming world of Warcraft but did like this book alot. |

Good Art / Weak Story |
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. |

Well worth purchasing |
|
I really enjoyed this book, the illustration was wonderful, and the story line was good. I especially liked the character development sketches that you get with the ultimate edition. Well worth it if you are a fan of Warcraft, or just a fan of graphic novels. |
