Top Reddit reviews mentioning Media Tie-In Graphic Novels:
The other two are alive, yes. When we the players fought C'thun way back in Ahn'qiraj, we fought what amounted to the tip of a finger. When we defeated Yogg in Ulduar, we had the help of a half dozen Titanic Keepers, some of the most powerful beings the Titans left behind. Neither Old God is dead, and even if they were I don't know that it would significantly reduce their threat. After all, Y'shaarj has been dead for millennia and we spent a whole expansion fighting what was basically a few drops of his blood (the Sha in Pandaria).
Most of our Old God lore can be found centralized in Chronicle Volume 1. You could also check out Wowpedia if you want to get trapped for hours.
Most of what we know about the Old Gods happened many thousands of years before the events of the Warcraft games, so a lot of it comes from sources like these.
Edit: Swapped the WoWWiki link for a link to Wowpedia instead. After looking at both, it seems that WoWWiki is pretty out of date.
The one set between 4 and 5 is by Kieron Gillen. This link is for Vol. 1 of 4. Star Wars: Darth Vader Vol. 1 (Star Wars (Marvel)) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0785192557/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_JubMAbTD07K2J

Strange Planet is the name of the comic series. They are my favorite modern comic.
Here is a link to the book form https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062970704/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_Y6ETolgWyvMU1
There is also a second book out now called Stranger Planet.
It's the perfect price for a small gift. Ive bought it for many friends and relatives and people love it 100% of the time. Support Nathan Pyle, who brings a wholesome ray of light to 2020!
Apparently a human can pre-order a dead-tree compendium here. I just did.
(sorry, that's how you know it is not a self-promotion).
Some people prefer reading the compendiums . They collect 8 volumes in one book. The first compendium is basically like Season 1-4 of the show.
Personally, I prefer the volumes. . They collect 6 issues in one book. I like these better because the covers are much cooler than the compendium. You’ll save money and space with the compendium but I find those incredibly uncomfortable to read. They are big thick bible books. The volumes are much better for casual reading.
Issues are sold individually for 2.99-3.99 online.
Or you just can just read it online. Links aren’t allowed but you can find it with a quick google search.
And a new ME comic collection too: https://www.amazon.com/Mass-Effect-Complete-Mac-Walters/dp/1506719198/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=mass+effect+comics&qid=1595176002&s=books&sr=1-1
I think a remaster is very likely now. I just hope its not a lazy cash grab
We've got a linked TMNT Comic Book Primer on the side bar :)
my vote is the IDW series, volume 5. This is most easily read via the IDW TMNT Collected Volumes. HEREis a link to the first.
World of Warcraft: Chronicle Volume 1 https://www.amazon.de/dp/1616558458/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nvVZAbA5PHH1Q
World of Warcraft: Chroniken Bd. 1 https://www.amazon.de/dp/3833232641/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_EwVZAbHJB67EP
It is on Amazon in German and in english
<strong>Here</strong> you go, Analdelrey.
There are 4 comics in the 'American Dreams' series.
You can get the whole series in one big 96 page book from Amazon <strong>here</strong>. It's temporarily 'out of stock' at Amazon, but you can still pre-order it from them for when they get stock back in, or you can purchase it from a independent seller on Amazon that also has it for sale. =)
Hope this helps clear things up a bit for ya! ;-)
I'd recommend getting them from Amazon. They're almost half off on there. You can get all 3 compendiums (144 issues total) for around $100 vs. $180 retail. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1607060760/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_eI.nwb70V69XJ
How much are you willing to spend? There are about 150 issues total and the show is about to hit the arc that starts around issue #100. There are three compendiums out that collect 48 issues each. If you want a solid chunk of TWD to get the juices flowing, you'd save even more money by going the compendium route.
The first one is going for $36 on Amazon and it collects #1-48. About $0.75 per issue. If you like/love that, you could either continue collecting the compendiums (and have to wait about four years for the next compendium to come out, since TWD is usually on a 12-issues-per-year schedule except for a few events in the past that had an issue every two weeks), or you could start collecting the trades going forward and eventually pick up the trades that were in compendium one. It's up to you.

Honestly, whilst Nobbels videos are the best way to go in depth on a specific subject, you might find it hard to understand the world and overarching storyline still.
Blizzard are releasing books that compile the lore together, This is chapter one: Amazon
I'm looking forward to chapter 3 coming in a month. These are a fantastic source for beginners with lore, they keep it all in order and don't overwelm you. Then if you want to know more in depth, go to Nobbel.
For what it's worth it's still listed on Amazon UK (where I've pre-ordered) exactly the same as it was originally:

Are you talking about the TMNT IDW collection ?
At least in Europe I saw it available recently, but on wikipedia it says a paperback of it will be released around November-December.

I really liked the Chronicles. There are three of them out now I believe, although I only have the first two. They go really deep into the story of the game and all that, complete with maps and atlases and really cool art. Also a great looking coffee table book. Here's the Amazon link!
Get the IDW collection books. It collects the current run in the order you should read them. So it includes the mini-series’ and one-off issues. This is book one Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The IDW Collection Volume 1 (TMNT IDW Collection) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1631401114/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_8V4WCKMVFSMEHPPA02TM
Between Invincible and Hellboy... I think I give the edge to Invincible just for ease of access. Hellboy is essentially a whole universe of books to dive into, but it is fantastic.
Regarding TMNT, the current series by IDW is among the best comics that have been put out in recent years. You can just read the main series straight through, but I'd recommend picking up the IDW Collection hardcovers, which collects the main series and all the spinoffs in the correct reading order.
Here's a link to the first volume: https://smile.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Collection/dp/1631401114/
For some reason your comment made me think that the book had limited availability and thus a steep price tag. Happy to learn that is not the case.
Found it on Amazon for $26.96
Pick up the WoW Chronicle Vol 1, it's a great (relatively) short account of the origins of everything in the game; it tells the story right up to Medivh, in full with just the right amount of detail.
From there, you can fill in a lot of the blanks with gameplay info and wiki pages; and you can further compress it (but you'll lose stuff) for your friend.
edit: [Amazon link] I'm 100% sure you can find a free PDF or something similar, but I'm not looking for that.
Amazon has the TPBs now: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Darth-Vader-Marvel/dp/0785192557/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1484096798&sr=1-1&keywords=vader+comic
I'm read up on all the collections so far - REALLY good stuff.
Amazon has the product dimensions listed: link
Yeah, that's understandable.
I see the Amazon site changed in the meantime too, the author is now Titan Comics instead of Emma (though she's still mentioned below), the release date from 2018 December to 2019 March, and the plot summary is a more generic one.
I really hope we'll get some official news about it soon.
Does <strong>this</strong> help, Andrey?
The complete edition (all 4 comics in one book) is still available for purchase on Amazon too <strong>here</strong>.
Hope this helps. =)
Try german amazon. It’s cheaper shiping than amazon UK and US https://www.amazon.de/Life-Strange-Collection-Titan-Comics/dp/1785866451/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1543533639&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=life+is+strange&dpPl=1&dpID=5140fiYds4L&ref=plSrch
You'd want to start with this. That's Volume 1 of the original comics. There are 6 out right now, 7 is coming next year. 1-5 are pretty much the meat of what you want, 6 is more random one-shots from the early comics (they had other writers and artists come in pretty early on as Eastman and Laird dealt with creating the Turtle empire and their focus shifted from writing comics to running the business). It looks like they've been releasing these in paperback versions now too. There are also other versions called "The Works" which provide colorized versions of these same issues.
Edit: Volumes 1-5 collect "essential" comics and are not a complete run, some are skipped to focus on the better issues and main storylines. End edit.
As another option, or after consuming the originals, this is what you want from the new run of comics. The IDW Collection books very nicely combine all of the different series (main line and side micro series) into chronological order. There are other collections and TPBs of this current run of comics, but you have to look up reading orders and jump around, so that's why I recommend this book, despite them being more "premium" hardcovers. They also go in and out of print pretty frequently, so don't let yourself get price gouged, they will come back in stock eventually. Of course, they are all available digitally as well (and again, go for this IDW Collection, not the others. I did because I got them as they came out, before they released these and am frustrated that I couldn't convert into this chronological order. I also own the physical copies in original TPBs and bought the hardcovers finally because it's such a pain jumping around).
So yeah, maybe more info than you were looking for, but I can always share more should you want it, haha.
Amazon or somewhere similiar would a sure bet.
They're fairly long, written like encyclopedias rather than novels. They chronicle (heh) the lore from the creation of the universe to around Cataclysm which is where the old world leveling zones are time-wise. That should give you enough context to do any zone you want.
Things get a bit murky after that but you can play through the post Cataclysm expansions in order if you want. That is Pandaria, WoD, Legion and BfA which is where we are now. They got a lot better with making the main story quests obvious so there shouldn't be too much of a problem (This will take you months and you'll massively massively outlevel everything you do but hey.)
IF you want the Tl;Dr version of lore: Read the 3 chronicles, read the overview of Pandaria and WoD on the wiki and start with Legion because the current expansion is pretty much a sequel to that.
Bought mine on Amazon (with free shipping). On amazon US the paperback version is at $13.59 by amazon. One seller sells it $5.39 but I'm not sure about the shipping. It says $27.99 but I'm living in France, so this must change with your location. Many other sellers sell used versions (in good condition) around $5.50 and $3.99 of shipping (and all sellers have very positive rate).
I am a book lover and I sometimes I can buy 20 or 30 books per month, and I regularly buy used books on amazon (more particularly architecture and painting books because the edition I want is no longer printed) and honestly 95% of time they are like brand new.

The IDW Collection volumes have this entire run (including minis, spinoffs, back-up strips, one-shots et al) and is currently up to volume 14 with #15 due next July.
