I love comics. I love 'Beauty and the Beast'. So, imagine my excitement when the two mediums collided in the creation of BATBNationBeauty and the Beast online Graphic Novels! I was THRILLED and eagerly looked forward in reading them before each new 'BATB' episode...visible with all my gushing seenHERE, HERE, & HERE.
These online comics were created by the 'dynamic duo' Sarah Hernadez (writer) and Andy Holmes (artist) and together developed some great, fun, cool stories involving our favorite 'BATB' characters. Sadly, Sarah announced yesterday on twitter that she will not be returning for season2 of 'Beauty and the Beast'. Obviously, I was heartbroken. I had the great pleasure of meeting Sarah at WonderCon a few months back and she was simply 'all kinds of awesome'! It was great to discover our shared love for 'BATB', comics, & all things Superman! THANK YOU Sarah for your hard work and dedication in the creation of these special comics and for sharing all the love with 'Beasties' on twitter and WonderCon! I wish you all the BEST in all your future projects!

Thank you again Sarah and best of luck!
Who said Lois Lane fans & Lana Lang fans can't get along ;)

Some great candid pics of Stacy Haiduk with fellow actors Casper Van Dien and Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers), looking fantastic, at Detroit's 'Motor City ComicCon 2013' this past weekend!
A couple of FANTASTIC video interviews of Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan from Australia's The Age promoting 'Beauty and the Beast' just in time for its debut Wednesday, May 22, 2013. The interviews were originally made during a press junket back in November 2012.
"To me [BATB] is very much a love story...it is ultimately about how two people connect with each other apart from all of the obstacles, apart from all of their differences, apart from the dangers from the outside world. That is what the story is...it is a love story." ~ Kristin Kreuk
"The connection between Vincent and Catherine is the heart of [BATB]...and I guess she needs to tame the beast in a way and I guess they do that through trust and love...because of Vincent's backstory...he doesn't use cell phones, he doesn't use Facebook, and all that sort of stuff we use in modern day. So, with that it gives me the opportunity to really get the old school romantic sort of courting... " ~ Jay Ryan
LOVE IT! I do miss some of the 'old school romantic' courting visible in the earlier episodes...with the notes, pebbles, and Vincent saying Catherine's FULL NAME and not her nickname 'Cat', like everyone else calls her.
'Beauty and the Beast' is set to premiere in Australia on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 9.30pm (Ch.10)!
Latest images added to our 'Beauty and the Beast' Gallery!

They both looked FANTASTIC!
Kristin Kreuk is wearing a lovely white Greta Constantine (@gretconstantine) dress paired with a Vivienne Tam (@VivienneTam) gold sequined jacket and Alexander Wang (@AlexanderWangNY) booties. Cuteness! Jay Ryan looking very handsome in a gray Ted Baker suit.
According to Comic Vine's exclusive preview pages, Lana Lang will be making an appearance in 'Superman #20'! The issue will showcase Clark Kent having a mind altering vision of a blissful life with Lana Lang a la 'For the Man Who Has Everything' (Animation) until, 'Wham', all hell breaks loose. Very cool, but why is it we only get alternate reality or flashback stories involving Lana?!! I want to SEE what Lana Lang is doing NOW!!! *sigh* I don't know if there will be more of Lana in the comic besides what is shown on these preview pages...will find out this week when the issues goes on sale Wednesday the 22nd.
"If you read the last issue of SUPERMAN, you know that the appearance of Hector Hammond has brought some pretty strange incidents in Superman's life. When Clark and Wonder Woman (as Diana Prince) decided to attend Lois and Jonathan Carroll's house warming party, we saw some crazy visions. When Orion entered the picture, it started getting a little ugly."

Kristin Kreuk was interviewed by 'PIX11 Morning News' New York on Wednesday to promote 'Beauty and the Beast'! She reveals a lot of awesome things about the season finale, Beasties, her life on TV, and her favorite thing to do when in New York. However, the MOST revealing bit of news was what the entertainment anchor uttered at the end of the broadcast...Kristin Kreuk is SINGLE?!!!
I always enjoy Kristin Kreuk's interviews! She is so sweet and down-to-earth...and apparently single. WoW! 'If' true, whoever captures her heart will be one lucky guy.
Some cool videos of Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan arriving at The CW Upfronts! NICE!

'Beauty And The Beast' Finale: Vince Gets Abducted By Catherine's Biological Father (VIDEO)
"...Even series star Jay Ryan doesn't know exactly what's going on behind Vince's abduction, but he told TVLine some theories he has. "While Muirfield is an obvious suspect, Ryan can't help but wonder if it's more specifically 'some subsidiary that Catherine's [biological] father is now running -- and maybe they offer a more sinister take on things.'" Fans will get their answers, though. "Beauty and the Beast" has been renewed for a second season on The CW. It will shift to Monday nights this fall..."

''Beauty and the Beast' season finale: Death, revelations and a kidnapping in 'Never Turn Back' - "And now, the cliffhangers: The main cliffhanger is, of course, what is going to happen to Vincent? Where are they taking him? How will Catherine get him back? Is Gabe even alive? Will Catherine's non-biological father pull through? Who were those helicopter men anyway? Why does the head creepy guy know immediately and from a distance that Catherine is his daughter?..."

'Beauty and the Beast Finale Recap: Up, Up and Away — Plus: One Star's Take on What's Next - "TVLine spoke with Jay Ryan at The CW's Thursday Upfront event, picking his brain on such hot topics as....TIME-JUMP AHEAD? | "I don't think they have decided yet, but I would love to come back for Season 2 and have it be, like, five months have passed," the actor shared, "so there will have been this huge ordeal he's undergone with the people who captured him." Speaking of which....
WHO EXACTLY TOOK VINCE? | While Muirfield is an obvious suspect, Ryan can't help but wonder if it's more specifically "some subsidiary that Catherine's [biological] father is now running — and maybe they offer a more sinister take on things." Ryan then (jokingly?) offers one idea that "maybe they capture the beast and take him to Prague, to have him fight with tigers and stuff!"
