Notes

The Sunwell Trilogy occurs concurrently with Brann's journey through the Eastern Kingdoms as chronicled in Lands of Conflict. Dragon Hunt covers the fall of Tarren Mill, which occurs before Brann Bronzebeard's journey through Hillsbrad (after the Forsaken had taken over the town). Ghostlands occurs not long after Brann's journey through Quel'Thalas. Brann had reached Quel'Thalas before the blood elves had retaken Silvermoon, or any areas in Quel'Thalas.

Trivia

...I was only familar with Jae-Hwan's work from the visceral King of Hell series, it was clear from the get-go that his super detailed (yet totally gritty) art style would capture the Warcraft feel perfectly. Translating Warcraft's over-the-top hyper proportionate art style to the 'manga style' was tricker than one might think - but Mr. Kim made it look effortless. Now, I know I'm a bit biased, but I think this book is one of the most strikingly illustrated manga series on the market today.
