Blizzard has published “Reunion,” a Battle for Azeroth comic on Jaina Proudmoore. This is the first of three comics leading up to the story of Battle for Azeroth.
After Jaina’s absence in Legion, she is slated to play a major role in Battle for Azeroth. She accompanies us as we arrive for the first time in Kul Tiras. After disappearing for most of the leveling in Kul Tiras, we need to rescue her.
In this comic we learn about the wounded pride of Kul Tiras, the relationship between Jaina and her mother, Jaina’s doubts on her past decisions, and the political role Lady Ashvane plays in Boralus.
Blizzard has published “The Speaker,” a Battle for Azeroth comic on Magni Bronzebeard. This is the second of three comics leading up to the story of Battle for Azeroth.
Magni, after becoming pure diamond at the beginning of Cataclysm, broke out of his prison at the beginning of Legion. He is now attuned as an envoy that talks on behalf of Azeroth, warning us of the systemic corruption the world-soul was slowly going through.
Magni is slated to play a major role in Battle for Azeroth: As one of the only beings that know what Azerite is truly capable of, he provides players of both factions with Heart of Azeroth, a gift from Azeroth herself, and pleads to both factions to attempt to heal Azeroth’s massive wound, instead of exploiting Azerite for their own gains.
In this comic, we learn more about Magni’s family. In between pondering how to help Azeroth, we see flashbacks of Magni interacting with his wife and teaching a young Moira how to fight. The challenges Magni faces in communicating with Azeroth parallel the difficulties he faces with Moira, who seized the opportunity to make a new life for herself with the Dark Iron Dwarves after feeling devalued by her father.
Blizzard has published “Three Sisters,” a Battle for Azeroth comic on the reunion of the Windrunner sisters. This is the third of three comics leading up to the story of Battle for Azeroth.
In this comic, the three sisters meet to cleanse Windrunner Spire. The meeting at first appears to go fairly well, but then the fault lines between the sisters grow deeper as they argue about Vereesa’s choice not to follow through poisoning Garrosh and joining Sylvanas in the Undercity. We also get a glimpse of the Void voices in Alleria’s head and it’s pretty rough–they are constantly taunting her, demanding she kill everyone from Turalyon to Sylvanas.
The sisters play a game where they must share two truths and a lie, revealing the lie at the end. Sylvanas’ three statements are that she misses being human, she is proud to be the Warchief, and she will never betray her sisters. However she will not share what statement is a lie. Based on the last page of the comic, it appears that she planned on having her Dark Rangers attack her sisters, deciding at the very end not to follow through and let them live. Sylvanas, in her own way, may view undeath as a way to reunite her sisters…which would make either her statements about being Warchief or missing humanity the lies.
