Blizzard Entertainment has created their own book publishing label—Blizzard Publishing—to create and re-release stories set in their universes: Starcraft, Diablo, Warcraft.

“Great stories and inspiring artwork have always been at the heart of everything we do,” said Lydia Bottegoni, senior vice president of story and franchise development at Blizzard Entertainment. “The creation of Blizzard Publishing gives us new opportunities to celebrate the art and stories of our games with Blizzard gamers as well as fantasy and sci-fi fans around the world.” -Business Wire

There's a library's worth of lore to capitalize on between Blizzard's multiple IPs. My fingers are crossed somebody at Blizzard writes The Lost Vikings Returneth. But what can we really expect? Well, first up Blizzard is republishing previously released titles:

Warcraft: The Last Guardian by Jeff Grubb
Warcraft: Lord of the Clans by Christie Golden
World of Warcraft: Rise of the Horde by Christie Golden

And two manga titles:

Warcraft Legends: Volume One, with stories by Richard A. Knaak, Dan Jolley, and Jae-Hwan Kim
Warcraft Legends: Volume Two, with stories by Richard A. Knaak, Dan Jolley, and Aaron Sparrow

But the big news is the World of Warcraft Adult Coloring Book. Reading is dead and coloring is in. Color between the lines of more than 80 artworks, or go outside the lines (make Dali proud) and show off your innate disregard for authority: "don't you dare tell me how to color."

Blizzard published books, manga, and coloring books will soon be available at your nearest chain-bookstore, or you can purchase them by visiting Blizzard's storefront website.
