So I was out looking to buy a friend a present for her birthday last week and was just going through the local Dymocks fantasy section when I spotted they had two copies of the Ultimate Sunwell Trilogy graphic novels for $48 each. I had an initial look through one and it looked ok, and since I had also found a book on H.R.Giger for a present, I decided to grab it given patch 2.4 is related to it.
I got it home and damn is that think actually bigger than it looks, even for a graphic novel I had to do it in two sessions to finish it. The artwork is great, though I would have loved it if the entire thing was coloured as the first 8 pages are, and the story had some interesting twists to it. The thing that really got me into it though was the Kalecgos and Aveena storyline and the way the encounters for Kalegcos has been reported from the ptr…it seems like there could be a really good story-arc possible from here if the Kalecgos fight is really to do with him battling an internal demon to keep his sanity and not turn against Aveena and the Blue Dragonflight in future patches/expansion.
It’s going to be interesting to see how things play out, but in the mean time I can highly recommend picking up the Ultimate trilogy if you spot it as it’s good “manga” as well as a good bridge between current WoW and the 2.4 storyline if you aren’t up to speed with the lore behind it.
