Looking at the lighter side of the World of Warcraft MMORPG, Blizzard has revealed the winner to this month's Comic Contest. The winner of the April series of comic submissions goes to Tygwa, who depicted a rather amusing strip based on the travesty of buying insurance off Taurens. You can read the comic strip in our full article after the jump.

 

Enter Axas, a comic artist and World of Warcraft avid gamer, has won Blizzard's World of Warcraft Comics Contest with his entry for the month of April. Up against eight other contributors for the past month, Axas now gets a free Jinx gift certificate worth US$ 100 to use on his next roll down the shopping aisle.

If you've always wanted to create a comic of your own, you might want to find out how you can join Blizzard's comic creation competition and start on something funny. Just remember: some eligibility rules apply!

But if you can't draw, the World of Warcraft community was thoughtful enough to help those who are artistically challenged yet wish to contribute World of Warcraft-related art - if you can call it art. Just don't be surprised if the audience isn't so forgiving; it's a community contest with no prizes, after all.
