MTV's Multiplayer blog was given a first look at the World of Warcraft comic book back in October. Set to be published by the Wildstorm imprint of DC comics and written by "Thor" and "Orion" veteran Walter Simonson, the comic will focus on the exploits of an amnesiac human washed up on the shores of the continent of Kalimdor.

Today, with the comic due in stores, the blog now has access to the web-only version of World of Warcraft Issue #0.

Says Simonson: "If you're a longtime player, I think the comic is a revelation about some of the mysteries. There are mysteries from the past that have never been totally addressed within the game, or at least we're able to address them in the comic in a way that the game hasn't been able to. ... If you know 'Warcraft,' I'm hoping it will be really cool to find this stuff out. At the same time, as complex as the world is, if you haven't really played the game, you'll learn as much as you need to know to enjoy the story on its own level."
