The graphic novel, titled Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood will be written by comics writer Paul Cornell ( Knight and Squire, Demon Knights) with art by Mat Broome ( Batman: No Man's Land, Witchblade). Thankfully, Legendary Comics is prepared to help bring fans who missed out on earlier games up to speed.īlizzard has announced that the upcoming Warcraft movie will be getting an official graphic novel prequel, coming from the folks at Legendary Comics. The adaptation is more closely based on earlier games in the Warcraft series, before the events that take place in the popular MMO World of Warcraft. Based on Blizzard's wildly popular, multi-platform franchise, the film promises to find the human element in a fantasy world where orcs and humans are at war. One film that may break that mold is the upcoming Warcraftfilm. Whether there's a hierarchical relationship between different forms of media or filmmakers try to stick too closely (or too far away) to the source material, the fact is video game movies are a hard sell.
It's no secret that video game film adaptations have fared poorly over the years, both critically and commercially.
