It is known as the Emerald Dream, a lush and savagely primal version of the World of Warcraft. Now, that dream is threatened, and soon nature's enemies will learn the true meaning of the name Stormrage! Includes 4 pages of full color art and an 8-page Sneak Peek at Warcraft Legends GN Vol. 5.

Softcover, 7-in. x 9-in., 128 pages, B&W. Cover price $5.00.
