Are you ready for three very different awesomely artistic takes on the land of Westeros?

HBO has teamed with Austin-based collectible arts boutique Mondo (of Alamo Drafthouse fame) to launch a series of limited-edition screen-printed posters to be released at Comic-Con this week. Below are new images by artists Martin Ansin, Vania Zouravliov and Daniel Danger (OK, I want to change my name to Daniel Danger now). The posters will be gradually made available throughout the week at Mondo’s booth (#437; for more detail follow @MondoNews). Also, be sure to check out EW.com’s InsideTV blog on Friday for our coverage of the Game of Thrones Comic-Con panel (in fact, it’s the same day as the panels for the Firefly reunion, The Walking Dead, Spartacus and Breaking Bad — so just park your browser here and let us run around the San Diego convention center for you).

Here are all three of Mondo/HBO’s Game of Thrones Comic-Con 2012 poster images, exclusive to EW.com: READ FULL STORY »

Now this is the guy you want to be standing in line behind when waiting to get into Hall H.

To promote the upcoming debut of midseason thriller The Following, Fox is giving away this Edgar Allen Poe-inspired T shirt at Comic-Con this week.

In the show, serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) is obsessed with Poe’s work, and one of his fans gets her body tattooed with the author’s writing (trailer below). This rather readable shirt is covered with Poe’s classic narrative poem “The Raven.” The shirt will be available to Comic-Con’s weak and weary who are tap-tap-tapping at Fox’s booth #4313, with creator Kevin Williamson, executive producer Marcos Siega and stars Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy signing autographs on Sunday. Check it out below:

'Game of Thrones' Comic-Con panel adds Ygritte, but loses ...

UPDATE: You know nothing about Game of Thrones‘ Comic-Con plans!

There’s been a programming change to HBO’s panel. Lena Headey is not going to be able to make the show’s Friday event at 2:45 p.m. due to a schedule conflict. Instead, the lovely Rose Leslie (Ygritte) will take the stage (along with Alfie Allen, Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Michelle Fairley and Richard Madden), plus she’ll be on hand for autograph signing at the booth. EW.com will blog live from the panel.

Meanwhile, the Thrones third season casting rumors continue to swirl, but HBO hasn’t confirmed any names yet. Two of interest: Tara Fitzgerald is rumored to be cast as Selyse Florent (Stannis Baratheon’s wife) and Mackenzie Crook (The Office UK) is being buzzed about as a possible Vargo “The Goat” Hoat.

UPDATE: Harington is out too, says HBO, since he’s recovering from a broken ankle (the injury is not expected to impact production, the network says). The way Thrones actors are dropping, are we sure George R.R. Martin isn’t scripting this event instead of just moderating it?

And for those who missed this viral gem last week: READ FULL STORY »

Ted may be getting the bear’s share of attention right now for Seth MacFarlane, but his animated Fox shows will be back in the spotlight next week at Comic-Con.

Tags: , , , , , News

Back in May, we gave you the first look at fan-favorite Michonne from season 3 of The Walking Dead (which returns on AMC in October). Then, earlier this week, we hooked you up with a sneak peek at the highly-anticipated prison. Now we have another exclusive goodie for you — the first season 3 poster for the zombie drama, which will be plastered all over Comic-Con in San Diego next week. Not only that, but showrunner Glen Mazzara also provided us with some fresh intel on what’s to come, especially with the two big new characters seen on the poster: warrior Michonne (played by Danai Gurira) and super villain The Governor (David Morrissey). See below for both the poster and comments from Mazzara. (Is that a helicopter I see flying behind The Governor? Hmmm…) READ FULL STORY »

With Comic-Con less than one week away, it’s time to let our geek flag fly. Jessica Shaw and I invited Jeff Jensen and Darren Franich into the studio for our first ever Entertainment Weekly podcast crossover episode! (It’s just like that time the beauties of Charlie’s Angels went on The Love Boat looking for a stolen statue, only with significantly less Lido deck.) What TV show panels are we most looking forward to out in San Diego? Which panels can’t help but deliver a healthy dose of awkward (Community with no Dan Harmon)? And why am I the only one excited about the upcoming Shazam! extravaganza?

In addition, Darren explains why he worries about Game of Thrones not sending its heavy hitters, Jeff drops some intel about the highly anticipated Firefly reunion he is moderating, and Jessica rolls her eyes over all the incredibly nerdy things being discussed in her presence. READ FULL STORY »

'The Walking Dead': First look at the prison... and prison zombies! -- EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS

Tags: , , , , , , , News

Ask most readers of The Walking Dead comic book what their favorite setting is and they’ll say two words: the prison. Seen briefly in the distance in the final shot of season 2, the prison will become the new fortress/home for Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and company when the AMC drama returns in October… if they can clear it out the undead walkers, that is. And now we have our exclusive first sneak peek of the jail, as well as the current zombie inhabitants that call it home. In the first photo, our survivors assume a defensive, Avengers-like position to handle any incoming ghouls, while in the second, a machete-wielding Maggie (Lauren Cohan) prepares to deliver a kill shot to a zombie inmate. Check out the photos below as well as intel from executive producers Glen Mazzara and Robert Kirkman on the highly anticipated new setting for season 3. READ FULL STORY »

Tags: , , ,

Things wind down on the final day of Comic-Con as many attendees start exiting San Diego laden with the goodies they’ve picked up at the convention, but there’s still plenty of programming on Sunday for the diehards who stick around. The newly released Sunday schedule is largely packed with kid-focused and comic-book-specific offerings but there are also a few big panels that will be of interest to TV fans.

Fringe will make its final appearance at Comic-Con with a panel in Hall H featuring stars Anna Torv, Josh Jackson, John Noble, Blair Brown, and Lance Reddick, among others, discussing the series’ fifth and final season and screening footage.

Supernatural will also hold a panel in Hall H to tease its upcoming eighth season, which starts in October. On hand will be stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, among others.

The stars and creative team behind the BBC fanboy favorite Doctor Who will present footage from its next season in Hall H, and The Cleveland Show panel will feature a screening of the season 4 premiere episode, “Menace II Secret Society,” with series co-creator Seth MacFarlane and others taking questions.

Finally, for Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans (or just anyone who wants to feel old), there will be a special retrospective panel called “Buffy Turns 20: Celebrating 20 Years of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Series cast members Nicholas Brendon and Clare Kramer and the original movie Buffy, Kristy Swanson, among others, will be on hand to share stories and discuss the legacy of the teenage vampire hunter in TV, film, comics, and video games.

The fifth and final season Fox’s Fringe begins September 28, but the countdown to The End begins on Sunday, July 15 at Comic-Con. For the first (and last) time, the sci-fi saga’s annual confab with fans — always a lively and well-attended affair — will take place inside Comic-Con’s largest venue, Hall H. Cast members Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson and John Noble will be on hand, as will exec producer J.H. Wyman, who’ll be piloting Fringe’s 13-episode grand finale season solo following the recent departure of longtime showrunning partner Jeff Pinkner. “The Comic-Con panel is something I always look forward to, but this year it’s bittersweet,” says Wyman. “I think we have lots of good stuff in store for them.” Among the goodies for attendees: A season 5 teaser poster (see below) that confirms that Fringe’s final chapter will deal squarely with the dystopian future glimpsed in the season 4 episode “Letters of Transit.” Nutshell recap: The world is about to be invaded and conquered by time traveling Observers from the future. Our heroes must find some way here in the present to stop the take-over from happening… or they must find some way to overthrow their oppressors in the future.

The title of the season premiere: “Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11.” Sounds like “time travel” via mental projection to us! But then, we read too many comic books. Regardless: Wyman ain’t elaborating: “If I give you any spoilers, it will just force me to go back in time and prevent myself from answering this question. So if you wouldn’t mind, I should probably save us all the trouble and the potential paradoxes.”
