Blizzard manga giveaway from Lorehound

Lorehound.com once again continues to offer up all things good and manga-related by putting up a fun little contest. Look at your bookshelf. Is it barren of any Blizzard/Tokyopop manga titles? Does it weep silently in the night, wishing it could be graced by the volumes of Warcraft Legends and the Starcraft titles? Hope no more, dear bookshelf, for if you enter Lorehound's Incredibly Short Story contest, you have the potential to win every single Blizzard manga title in existance.
Put on your robe and thinking cap and write a 150- to 300-word story on why you think you deserve the book collection. It can be anything: sob story, comedy, thoughtful introspective, a shopping list or whatever. Submit your story, and Lorehound will narrow down the runner-ups. From there, the community will vote on which one is the best.
Considering this is nearly $70+ worth of manga, I'd say that's not a bad deal. Best of luck to all who enter!

Sure, lemme just whip up a novel. Have it to you in the morning.

I personally would rather write 150 words than 150 pages, but thats just me. I mean, sure I deserve it, but do I deserve it to write 150 pages about how I totally deserve it the most? I could probably sum it up in less.

You might want to check the link/source again. It's not a 150-300 page story, its a 150-300 word story. Big difference for anyone who wants to win the prize.

Not if you use excessively long words :P

Page = Word. Fixord. Sorry for the confusion.

I would enter this if I hadn't received a package this morning from amazon with the sunwell trilogy, the DK manga and Warcraft Legends 1-5. Ah well good luck everyone else!

Could anyone tell me which manga the header image is from? I've been trying to search for it myself, but I'm not having much luck.

What's with that orc's eyes. He looks like Batou from Ghost in the Shell.

I was thinking exactly the same thing! I accuse you, Cataca, of actually being me without me knowing!

That orc looks beyond ugly.
BEYOND. Ugly.

I really want those, but I dislike the whole "write why you deserve to win". Either you tell them the truth, in which I probably don't deserve to win them, or I lie and make up a story, which in turn would feel bad if I won.
If you're into comics though, you should check out Unmasked, a radioshow just about that topic, every new-comicbook-Wednesday at 6 PM EST, 11 PM GMT. Only on OMFG.fm (http://omfg.fm/)
