Lately we’ve been keeping you all in the loop regarding HBO’s third season of the hit vampire show “True Blood.” (HERE, HERE and HERE) Well here I am today to tell you not about the “True Blood” series but about the “True Blood” comic!
It seems HBO will be teaming with IDW Publishing to bring us a “True Blood” comic book series later this year. The details come from the HBO Store, which already has the first issue available for pre-order! The details we’re given is that the comic will be released on July 21st and that it’ll set you back $4. Check out the description straight from the source:
Alan Ball’s hit HBO series, the sensually sizzling story of the lives and loves of vampires, mind readers, and all manner of creature, comes to comics with IDW Publishing! This six-issue series kicks off in July, and True Blood fans can pre-order exclusively with HBO.com!
In this tantalizing series spinning out of the hit show, blood and sex mix on a hot rainy night at Merlotte’s, when Sookie and her friends are trapped by a vengeful spirit who feeds on shame. People die and dirty secrets are revealed as Sookie, Bill, Eric, Sam, Tara, Jason, and Lafayette and are all coerced to dig deep and tell painful memories from their past—those things we all have locked within us that we never tell another living soul!
Bon Temps, Louisiana has never been stranger, or more twisted, than in this story co-plotted by TRUE BLOOD series creator Alan Ball, with a script by David Tischman (Bite Club) and Mariah Huehner, featuring lush art by David Messina.
Bonus inside every issue: An exclusive pullout gatefold poster by David Messina!
Below I’ve also tossed up a video of Mr. Ball from True Blood’s Facebook page. In the video the “True Blood” creator gives us all the scoop about this new comic series. This shite will be available at Comic Con? Nice! Check out the video below or head on over to our videos section.
So there you have it. Apparently “True Blood” is kicking some major ass so why not crossover? Like Ball says, they can come up with a lot more in comics than they can on TV! Get ready for the “True Blood” comic series this Summer!
