Death knight gives a deeper history to the class that you don't see in game along with background and 'what are they doing?' For the Horde and Alliance representatives of this group.

When you first make a Death Knight you become first familiar with these two (Koltira and Thassarion) in passing, the first actual encounter being Thass sending you on a suicide mission to save his good friend.

The manga follows these to after the battle at Lights Hope, along with telling you how they got where they

Despite not being a fan of graphic novels, I really enjoyed this book. It gave a nice look into the Death Knight world, rich with lore and background on characters you've come to know throughout the Warcraft series.

It was a fairly quick read, and one I'd say to be enjoyable enough to read again.

This is for anyone who loves the game World of Warcraft and wants to read some backstory on the NPC Thassarian. I love how much history and lore that is woven into this game. And the class of Death Knight is one of my all time favs! Their tale as a whole is intriguing, full of drama, horror, and readjusting to life outside of the Lich King's control. Love this stuff! Wish they had a book devoted to Koltira as well. He's always been one of my favs and loved that he shows up in this book.

I play a Death Knight in World of Warcraft so of course I was drawn to it like a fly to honey.

The story went right along with the lore we know. I don't usually read manga but I did enjoy this.

I'm not familiar with World of Warcraft. This was my first adventure in that story line.

I liked the story. It was easy to get into. A soldier who wants to make his parents proud and be as great as his father. Turned into a Death Knight, he struggles with issues between his new life and former.

Eventually, during battle, a vision of his father comes to him and he makes a decision to become the soldier he was once. He begins to track down the Scourge and get his revenge while in search of the Lich

Yet another amazing comic set in the Warcraft universe.

I read this after reading the Ashbringer comic which dived deep into paladin lore. This one dived deep into lore of death knights.

Death knights who broke free from the Lich King's influence is really cool and I loved getting some background on them.

Na to, že je to první komiks/manga co jsem četla, se mi to dost líbilo. Asi začnu víc číst komiksy!

Good, but not as moving of a story as Ashbringer.

I was eager to read this one when I picked it up. The cover looked good and the first couple pages looked promising. However the further I read into the book the more issues I had.
My first main issue is with the story itself. It just seemed really jumpy. It felt as if certain parts of the story were missing. I still liked the background that it gave on Thassarian, but it felt incomplete.
The other issue I had was with the artwork. Don't get me wrong I think the artwork itself was great! The issue

Death Knight was okay, just as the two star rating indicates. Really fast read, bought and finished in a day of on-and-off reading. The story is really probably only interesting to people who know anything about the Warcraft lore and, I would imagine, that it wouldn't make sense to people who haven't played the games or read the other books.

I normally don't read Japanese graphic novels, so this was a little experiment. Unfortunately, I feel like the format really took away from the story of

Considering the fact I'm still quite new to the whole World of Warcraft, I thought this was pretty good. I assume this is the only book of the "Death Knight" but I couldn't tell you if it is, I was not really able to find any information. I honestly couldn't even tell you if it is in a series, what book it is. I managed to randomly find this book and decided to give it a read. Aside from what little I know of WoW, I really enjoyed this book, I thought it had a pretty good structure, and I ...more

Bylo to docela dobrý, ale opět to spadlo do průměru. Alespoň jsem se Death Knightem vrátil do dětských let, díky tomu, že komiks je zasazený do doby výpravy Arthase do Northrendu (WarCraft III). Ach, ta nostalgie... :)

surprised me how good it was, I did not enjoy the sunwell trilogy. I am however a huge Koltira and Thassarian fan, they were characterized well and didn't make me want to shake them or roll my eyes so hard I hurt myself.

Good artwork but confusing storyline at time. It did have an epic feel I suspect if I played the game I would have enjoyed this more.

Kniha by si možná zasloužil i více, ale to opravdu musela být 3/4 příběhu vyzrazena v anotaci??? Co to jako sakra mělo znamenat??
