Black Library Start Up New Graphic Novel Collection
May 3, 2016 by brennon
Black Library have bought back a series of Graphic Novels from the worlds of Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy from Games Workshop and they're now available in fancy paper back or digitally...
As well as Damnation Crusade above they have covered a series of different Warhammer 40,000 stories.
Warhammer 40,000
At the very least you can continue to experience what it's like to be an Ork with Blood & Thunder.
Or maybe you prefer getting into the muddy boots of the Imperial Guard with Fire & Honour.
Additionally there is more from the Black Templars as they also have Exterminatus in their collection. You have to admit that the look of the Black Templars is always awesome beyond words.
As you can see the quality of the artwork inside is fantastic and the added cover art will make them rather impressive additions to your shelf.
Warhammer Fantasy
While the Age of Sigmar rages on there are still tales from the world of Warhammer Fantasy to enjoy. First up we have Condemned By Fire which follows the tale of a Witch Hunter.
If Witch Hunters aren't your thing then see how you'd do against the forces of Chaos in Forge Of War. I'm loving the cover art here even if he is casting a Dwarf head aside! The artwork within the pages is also fantastic.
Last but not least we have Crown of Destruction where we get to see what plans the Skaven have in store.
Hopefully they continue to bring more of the graphic novel stories back for both of their properties. I really enjoyed checking out the comic books they used to do but collecting together the entire story is very helpful.
What do you think?

I know GW are renowned for being a pricey product, but £40 for an ebook collection is something else. for comparison, Marvel Unlimited, which offers access to nearly all their releases of the past 70 years, is only £7 a month.
The price is consistent with a comparable digital graphic novel on Comixology. All 22 graphic novels of Fables would set you back £170, for example.
Are these new stories or reprints from Warhammer Monthly, like Lone Wolves or Deathwatch?
I think most of these are reprinted stories – I certainly know that the Black Templar ones are.
I imagine they will continue to add to this over time.
These are the BOOM Studios licensed comics. They’re no longer sold by BOOM so I don’t know if that means the rights are now with GW.
These are reprints. In fact, Forge of War was one of the first reviews I wrote for Beasts of War.

No age of sigmar titles?!
These titles were produced under license between 2006-2009 by BOOM Studios.
Still have the BOOM studios Black Templars Damnation Crusade, the Orks Nlood and Thunder and the Imperial Guard Fire and Honour. Going to have to dig these out and read them again, excellent art work for their time.
That’s some nice comic art.
Missed all of these first time around so I might grab them now.
Blood quest needs a proper hardback btw BL, and a movie .. best GW comic made
I might pick one or two if they make it to my gaming store in paperback…
