DC imprint Wildstorm has confirmed two new comic book series based on Blizzard’s popular multiplayer online game World Of Warcraft.

According to the publisher, one series will focus on the Alliance faction from the MMO and the other will follow the Horde.

The new Horde comic is written by Doug Murray and drawn by Pop Mhan. The Alliance story will retain the original World Of Warcraft issue numbering and be written by Mike Costa with illustrations from Neil Googe.

DC Comics acquired the rights to the game in 2007, releasing a new issue under its Wildstorm imprint on a monthly basis. The events of the ongoing comic take place during The Burning Crusade era.

World Of Warcraft: Horde #1 and World Of Warcraft: Alliance #26 will be available in January.
