The first few pages of the brand new self-titled World of Warcraft comic have appeared thanks to an exclusive at mtv.com.

The comic is being written by Walter Simonson and published by Wildstorm, an arm of DC Comics. The writer has said that the comic will stay true to the game and so far, those who have had the sneak peaks have said it does a better job of being loyal than most adaptations do.

The first full issue of the World of Warcraft comic will be appearing in all good or otherwise geeky book stores this Wednesday.

You can take a look at the online-only issue #0 of the new comic here.
