Jen's Pick

           World of Warcraft TP Vol. 1

Collecting WORLD OF WARCRAFT #0-7, based on the world's most popular massively multiplayer video game! In this epic tale, a human is found unconscious, with no memory of who he is. Enslaved by the Orc Shaman Rehgar Earthfury, this man must fight for survival, striking uneasy relationships with other races in his quest to find the secrets of his past!

Being a World of Warcraft junkie, this book was an easy choice for me to pick up when it first came out; I wasn’t expecting much out of a book based off of a video game, but I was pleasantly surprised.  The story in this graphic novel is great for fans of the game as well as people new to the World of Warcraft concept.

There's nothing more exciting than college life in the big city. But complications can follow you from dark places - and not just from your boring hometown. In THE NEW YORK FIVE, Riley's sister Angie is making a name in the Lower East Side with her new band, and now Riley is the black sheep of the family.
