Starting on July 24th, readers will be able to check out the first 16 pages of the comic on HBO’s website. If you’re attending this year’s SDCC, a printed version will be handed out free for attendees. Also at Comic-Con, HBO will be hosting a True Blood panel with series director Alan Ball and author Charlaine Harris.
“True Blood: The Great Revelation tells of a world where vampires emerge from the shadows to join everyday society. After centuries of living in darkness, they are able to make their presence known with the advent of a synthetic blood — Tru Blood — created by a Japanese company, which allows them to co-exist peacefully with humans without murderous feedings. But for many humans this revelation is greeted with the fear of the unknown. In the midst of a new community of people struggling for acceptance in society, the ancient and wise Vampire King of California, Lamar, is summoned to Tokyo for a meeting with the executives of the company that produces Tru Blood, where he’ll learn of their broader aspirations and the role they’ve devised for him.”
