Contest Updates and Finalists

A winner has been selected for Contest #1, please check your email! I would like to announce the winner, but I will hang out a few days to get ahold of the winner, Congratulations random person!

As for the second contest there were some excellent entries! These obviously took a lot of work, so I want them to be recognized for their effort first and foremost. Then I’d like the Berserk community to get to choose the victor, so there will be a vote held in the forum… link below.

Contest Reminders

This is a reminder that tonight is the cut-off for contest entries (specifically Contest #1 and Contest #2).  Any entry that makes my inbox before I return from work tomorrow is fair game.  That means you have approximately 24 hours.  Entry for Contest #1 is simple and should not take any time at all if you’ve read some Berserk.  As for the second contest, this could take longer, but there have been relatively few entries, which means your chance of winning are not bad!

Good luck!

Contest! - Win Berserk Vol 23

Our second contest… which happens to run alongside our first will earn you a brand new Berserk Vol 23. Much like the first contest, if you win, I will ship it to you wherever you are. Entering this contest is not going to be as easy as the first one, at least in my mind. For this contest you’ll need to get creative!

Latest Dark Horse Releases

Thanks to the odd behavior of Amazon.com, I decided to pick up the latest couple volumes of Berserk from my local bookstore.  Even though I preordered these volumes ages ago through Amazon, they are not expected to ship until late July.  You will probably notice that this is MORE THAN 2 MONTHS after they came out.

Now, before I write up my crappy little reviews on these volumes, I also wanted to point out that I can’t cancel my order from Amazon.  What this means is… The BlackSwordsman is going to have it’s very first contest and ultimately I will be shipping those books out to some lucky Berserk reader free of charge.  I haven’t really decided on the format of the contest… so I’m all ears.  I want to do something simple that everyone can take part in like a few trivia questions.

How to read Berserk

I saw this article on how to read Berserk manga over on WikiHow. Obviously not everyone will agree on how the steps to reading Berserk are outlined in that article. How do you read your Berserk?
