The first comic book series based on Blizzard Entertainment‘s World of Warcraft hit shelves this week.

The print product of the worldwide role-playing game tells the story of a human found unconscious on the shores of Kalimdor, with no memory of who he is or how he arrived there, according to Blizzard, based in Irvine. The human becomes enslaved, and he must fight for survival against members of both the Alliance and the Horde.

The new monthly comic book series’ first issue includes the first of a six-part story written by Walter Simonson and illustrated by French artist Ludo Lullabi and Sandra Hope (from Justice League of America). Each issue of the six-issue story features two different covers: one by comic book legend Jim Lee and the other by Blizzard’s very own Samwise Didier.
