World of Warcraft: Alliance was originally an original graphic novel series set in the Warcraft universe, and the companion series to World of Warcraft: Horde. At Comic-Con 2011, it was revealed that the first volume of the OGN series would be titled Dark Riders. Since then the series hasn't been mentioned or revived.

Originally intended to be a continuation of the original World of Warcraft monthly series, Wildstorm instead opted to transition the series to an original graphic novel format, allowing them to place greater emphasis on art and narrative.[3]
