The world is ending, some Korean has made a manga of all things,
WarCraft Nothing against, WarCraft it's a great game and all but I just can't imagine it as a manga, and the art, Anime WarCraft? WTF?
The world is ending, at least a more western artstyle would've fit it, to see more go to Tokyopop.com.

Got anime?I do.

But Warcraft, it just doesn't fit it to have anime style art. I mean it still looks good just, the anime doesn't fit at all.

The manga is coming out next year, and I knew about the novel and I here it's good too, and a graphic novel would be okay, just it wuold suit it more to have western style art rather than anime.

That's what I said, here's the URL:

Could be worse, it could be right to left like japanese manga is. The story's by a white guy but the arts by a korean and it looks like anime.

Chaos Gate came with a comic book. So, manga (especially Korean manga) is no stretch of the imagination. I'm kind of surprised that it has taken this long.

I don't mind the manga style for it. I think it's nice to see them variating a bit. Besides, I don't buy comic books just to look at the pictures.

Yeah, comic books are liek 15 pages, graphic novels are at least 100 most of the time, and also I just couldn't get thru to the story knownig, this is an american franchise with anime art?Wtf? It would just stick in my head and would stop me from reading.

Judging by the only picture in the link you posted, the anime style isn't that different from the western style. I think you're just being picky.

Still it doesn't look like the Warcraft art style that I'm used too.

I dunno.....some games are just meant to be manga, and some that attempt to have a manga will suffer, fail, crash, burn, and die.

As I look at a poster for Warcraft III on my wall I think to myself: Dang that looks cool, that should be art for a comic book.

It looks manga influenced but it certainly looks more like traditional RPG artwork than manga or anime.

I agree though, the comic book cover style on that poster would be more fitting.
