World of Warcraft: Chronicle Volume 3
Chris Metzen, Matt Burns, Robert Brooks, Peter Lee, Joseph Lacroix · 2018
The third volume runs from Warcraft III through Cataclysm: the Third War, the new nations the orcs and the humans founded on Kalimdor, the return to Outland, the war against the Lich King in Northrend and Deathwing's return. Like the earlier volumes, it pairs a written history with maps and full-color art.
What this adds if you've played the games
The official summary of the World of Warcraft years, and it fixes which version of events counts, including some the original game left to the player, like the comics' account of Onyxia's end. It's handy as a refresher if you're coming back after years away. It summarizes, so read the novels for the scenes, and save it for after Cataclysm since it covers that expansion's ending.
