Despite my best efforts, it looks like I will have to post most everything after Comic-Con because of unforeseen issues like major computer breakdowns that took a week to get back up, and then breaking my toe the day before Comic-Con. So, please be patient, I will post soon!

Best,

Los Angeles, CA (Pop Culture Today) July 2, 201 —  For Comic-Con 2013, the Warner Bros. Television/CBS action-crime drama Person of Interest will be featured on limited-edition collectible keycards — with two separate designs — at top hotels throughout the San Diego area during the convention. Nearly 40,000 branded room keys will be available to fans at nearly 30 participating hotels, courtesy of Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Marketing.
 
One keycard features Reese and Finch — series stars Jim Caviezel (left) and Michael Emerson — keeping a watchful eye.
 
And one keycard could be seen as a response to those who may have suggested that Person of Interest — which posits a world in which a highly sophisticated, all-seeing surveillance program could track the whereabouts of virtually anyone, anywhere, following our every move — was a bit of science fiction. In light of recent revelations in the news, the producers say pardon if they say they told you so…
 
This marks the sixth consecutive year that Warner Bros. has been the official Comic-Con hotel keycard sponsor — and the first time that a single show has been selected to make its presence known … virtually everywhere.
 
Person of Interest returns for its third Comic-Con panel session on Saturday, July 20, with executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Greg Plageman joining members of the cast (attendees to be announced)
 
Fans of the show can now catch up on the first two seasons on digital download (in standard and high definition) through all online retailers, including iTunes and Amazon Instant Video. Additionally, the complete second season of Person of Interest will be available on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD on September 3, 2013.
 
Person of Interest returns for a third season on September 24, airing on a new day and at a new time: Tuesdays at 10/9c on CBS
 
About Person of Interest
Winner of the 2012 People’s Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama, Person of Interest stars Jim Caviezel (The Thin Red Line, The Prisoner) as John Reese, a former CIA agent who teams up with reclusive billionaire and computer genius Harold Finch, portrayed by Emmy® winner Michael Emerson (Lost). The crime thriller follows Reese and Finch as they set out to prevent violent crimes with high tech surveillance and their own brand of vigilante justice. Reese’s special training in covert operations appeals to Finch, a software genius who invented a program — aka the Machine — that can identify people soon to be involved in violent crimes. Tapping into ubiquitous surveillance feeds throughout the city, the two work outside of the law, combining Reese’s black ops skills with Finch’s technological prowess and unlimited wealth to unravel the mystery of the person of interest, and stop the crime before it happens.
 
Reese’s actions draw the attention of the NYPD, including by-the-book homicide Detective Joss Carter (Academy Award® nominee Taraji P. Henson – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) and the morally compromised Detective Lionel Fusco (Kevin Chapman – Mystic River). With infinite crimes to investigate, Reese and Finch find that the right person, with the right information, at the right time, can change everything.
 
Created by Jonathan Nolan (The Dark Knight trilogy), the series is executive produced by J.J. Abrams (Revolution, Fringe, Lost), Nolan, Greg Plageman (Cold Case) and Bryan Burk (Revolution, Fringe, Lost). Person of Interest is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc., in association with Bad Robot Productions and Warner Bros. Television.

Los Angeles, CA (July 1, 2013) – Roddenberry Entertainment, a company long steeped in fandom and sci-fi history, including the legendary Star Trek, today announced WORTH, a new graphic novel from Arcana. The extraordinary story of Grant Worth will come to life on September 4, 2013 via a beautifully designed hardcover book as well as digital download. This new graphic novel, written by Aubrey Sitterson with art and cover by Chris Moreno, gives readers a look into what happens when a superhero can no longer be super.
 
WORTH is the heartfelt, dynamic story of Grant Worth, Motor City’s most iconic hero. During the 1960’s, Worth’s mechanopathy (the power to control machines) made him a legendary figure in Detroit, a true hometown hero. Throughout late adolescence and early adulthood this ability brought Worth fame, adulation and prosperity. However, in the late 20th century technology evolved by leaps and bounds with the advent of computer chips, motherboards and microprocessors. Worth found his ability and himself becoming obsolete. Unable to break through the maze of 1s and 0s that became the gateway to most machinery, Grant Worth went from super-hero to somewhat-normal. And this is only the beginning.
 
Attendees at this month’s Comic-Con International in San Diego will have the unique opportunity to get a preview of WORTH. Exclusive printed editions of the first chapter of this new graphic novel will be available at the Roddenberry Entertainment and Arcana booths throughout the four day event, ahead of its wide release date.
 
Rod Roddenberry, CEO of Roddenberry Entertainment, and son of the legendary Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, offered, “In addition to introducing a compelling hero to the world, and providing  readers with an exciting new story, we’re thrilled to be telling a story that deals with one of today’s most provocative issues, man’s relationship with technology. WORTH represents the very heart and soul of our mission to continue to create thought-provoking entertainment and we’re excited for fans to dive in.”
 
Sean O'Reilly, Founder and CEO of Arcana Studio shared, “Arcana Studio is delighted to be working with Roddenberry Entertainment to bring such a unique tale to comic book, superhero, and science fiction fans. From a fast-paced and intelligent story to gorgeous artwork, this book has it all, and is a must-have!”
