Legendary comic book creator Walter Simonson has been tapped to adapt the hugely popular World of Warcraft computer game franchise to comics.

Simonson, perhaps best known for his revolutionary take on the Mighty Thor in the mid 1980's, is no stranger to fantasy. He has also reinvisioned Michael Moorcook's Elric character for comics as well.

In an interview at Newsarama, Simonson discussed his plans for the book, and the World of Warcraft in general.

The World of Warcraft comic book will be written by Walter Simonson with art by Ludo Lullabi and Sandra Hope, and released under DC Comics' Wildstorm imprint.
