So far, I've not been incredibly impressed by D3 from promotional items. I found a D3 book at the store entitled "Book of Cain". It was a collection of letters from Cain to some character I'm unfamiliar with, and each one was signed, "Love, Uncle Deckard." I was revolted. I can't see Deckard "Forever Alone" Cain's dehydrated ass ever uttering something so mushy. The bits of D3's story I've heard have really left me feeling Blizzard is more than a bit uninspired these days.

The comic book tie-in is worth checking out if you are in the market for DIII material. It suffers from some very obvious writting issues at times, mostly involving characters vocalizing over multiple panels regarding things that are happening (that old trope: show, don't tell), and it's unfortunate because the art is one of the strongest points of the book. It has a very dark feel to it and does a great deal to bring the grim feel of D1 to the present state of the lore.
Presently they are up to issue 3 of a 5 issue mini-series and I believe will have all 5 out around release time.
