As you may remember, last week when we posted the photos of what the characters of True Blood would look like in the new comic book, along with Alan Ball’s video about it, it was difficult to see them clearly because IDW’s banner was photographed from the side and was obscured by the rest of the booth. However, before the con ended, IDW moved the banner, and hung it on the opposite side of the booth, allowing Fearnet’s intrepid photographer Sophia Quach to nail a good shot of how the True Blood cast will appear in the comic. Here’s a better look as they were able to get it:
And here’s a close up of Sookie from the banner:
True Blood issue 1, the first of a six-issue comic series (each issue 32 pages priced at $3.99), will debut in July at the San Diego Comic-Con.
You can pre-order the comic book in the HBO online shop.
Thanks to Fearnet.com for sending us the information.
I appreciate the good clear look at the banner. Thanks, Lynn. I took advantage of HBO’s offered discount for today only and pre-ordered the book. Should be an entertaining read.
I have to get this. I think it will be a great read.
All the cast looks great, but how about a nice closeup of Bill.
I know I’m going to get cyber-slapped for saying this, but I’ve seen this kind of Photoshopped filter done many times before. Especially with TV/Movie adaptations.
Give me the good old days when comic book artists actually drew the characters instead of scanning and filtering the actors images in. Hopefully with phenomenal talents like J. Scott Campbell, the actual TB comics will be comics worth investing in.
Nevertheless, I appreciate the effort you’ve gone to bring this to our attention and can’t wait to see season 3!
Don’t worry,I actually agree with you. I have even done this before when I was in high school.Anyone can do this effect.they should have really drawn them out,some of the characters don’t even look the same as their real life counterparts.Case in point,Eric and Jessica.But that’s just me.
I will still get it,I think it will be a good read :)
