DiabloFans

Earlier this month, we sent sets of the currently-running Sword of Justice comic book series to our North American fansites. In addition to publishing reviews and coverage of the first three issues, many of the fansites are holding giveaways and contests to give them out. They only ask for your creativity and silliness to receive these comics, once touched by real life Blizzard employees of undisclosed name and title!

Take note, some of these giveaways are ending rather soon, so you'll want to act fast.

DiabloFans
In addition to interviews DiabloFans held with the comic's artist Joseph Lacroix and writer Aaron Williams, they're holding a contest to create your own three-panel comic. The contest ends April 28, and five lucky winners will be chosen to receive a set of issue #1, #2, and #3 of the Sword of Justice series.

BlizzPlanet
BlizzPlanet's new weekly YouTube series "Diablo Dialogue", hosted by Chris "The Bearded Gamer" Arnone, covers recent Diablo news including the Sword of Justice comic series and their issue giveaway. Simply favorite their channel, leave a comment, and five lucky winners will get the first three issues of the series.

D3DB
Diablo III Database has been on top of it, reviewing each issue of the comic as they were released, and is now offering six sets as prizes in the Design a Skill contest, ending April 28.

D3Sanc
D3Sanc is giving away sets of the first three issues to artists who make and post a "Diablo themed comic book cover." Contest ends May 4.

DiabloExpressions
Betting there are some creative people looking to win free swag, the DiabloExpressions contest asks you to take a photo in an action or comedic pose with thought or speech bubbles held over your head. It’s a fun and interesting take on this kind of contest, and those who enter before May 5 and win will receive the first three issues of the Sword of Justice series.

Game Data on Game Guide
Will we be seeing the stats on some of the Set/Legendary items before release?
Unlikely. We're holding all the updated game data until release. (Source)

Please tell me there will be more uniques...
We'll be updating the game guide right around release, and yes, there are far more items than what's shown currently. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Collective Identity? ANZ'ers unite!
What do you think of holding a poll to see what the preference would be?
I need some more names options for the poll so keep the ideas coming. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Gem and skull
.... What do they do?
They work.
So, so well. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Diablo Monsters
Which monster was your favorite from D1 or D2? (No bosses)
Regurgitators from Act IV.
Simply put, they were gross and very well designed. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

CE Preorders
I hear all US retailers taking pre-orders for the D3 CE are sold out. Best bet is to camp a store for release that doesn't take pre-orders. (Source)

or of course, the digital version, that one shouldn't sell out, right?
We don't have a digital Collector's Edition. (Source)

which version do we get if we pre download from Battlenet?
The Collector's Edition does not come in a digital format. Digital purchases are all standard editions. (Source)

The life of a hero in Sanctuary can be pretty dangerous -- prime evils, zombies, falling stars from the sky -- but it can also make for some divine comedy.

Illustrator and comic author, Oskar Pannier (aka "Shakes"), explores the dark humor of Diablo III, chronicling the hilarious journeys of Sanctuary's most esteemed adventurers in his new comic, "Hell Yeah!"
Check out the first comic strip in the series below.

For more "Hell Yeah!" be sure to follow Oskar's official page on Facebook. To submit a comic of your own, visit the Blizzard Contests page.
