Blizzard has been involved with the production of the manga every step of the way. Every element that appears in the manga has gone through a rigorous approval process with them, whether it’s story, art, cover, etc. They obviously know what the fans would want to see in a Warcraft manga, so on that front I never had any doubt that fans that did pick up the manga would approve.
