It's everything, the pose of the model, the blue that seems like glitter, the lighting... It's just breath taking. Thank god for this beauty, because the last cover, the one for Jealousy, was just not good. It looked too promy. Anyways, Defiance is our winner, so lets rejoice and pick new covers for May!!

Waiting on Wednesday Yet Again

Expected publication: 2012 by Arthur A. Levine Books

Matthew's father had lion's feet and his mother had gills, and both fled the modern-day city to live in underground Safe, a secret community of freaks, ghost-whisperers, and disabled outcasts hidden beyond the subways and sewers. Raised underground, Matthew is responsible for the keeping of both Safe's histories and the traumatized shapeshifter Ariel, the girl he took in, fell in love with – and can't stop from constantly running away. 

But Safe is no longer safe: the night after a frightening encounter in the sewers, Safe's founder Atticus is murdered by the one person Safe ever exiled: mad Corner, whose coup is backed by an army of mindless, whispering shadows. 

Only Matthew, Ariel, and a handful of unstable, crippled compatriots escape to the city that cast them out; the dangerous place he knows only as Above. Despite Ariel's increasingly erratic behaviour and with the odds against them, Matthew must find a way to rescue Safe from Corner's occupying army. But as his quest leads him through abandoned asylums and the dregs of urban poverty, Matthew discovers that the histories he's devoted his life to aren't true: Corner's invasion -- and Ariel's terrors – are rooted in a history of Safe much darker and bloodier than Matthew ever imagined. 

And even if he manages to save both home and Ariel, he may well lose himself.

Book Related comment of the day: A 2012 release... Woot! The cover is so pretty I might cry! I love the girl with the unusual wings. The colors are amazing too, maybe we'll get lucky and all the 2012 covers will be this pretty!

Personal comment of the day: I am back from my vacation at Puerto Rico. It was awesome, I got to see all my friends and had so much fun! Thing is, the day that the new Charlaine Harris novel came out I went to the Borders to get it and guess what, they didn't have it! Borders at Puerto Rico is nothing but a disaster. Oh well, I'll buy it at Amazon.com

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog... Sequel

So has anybody had the pleasure to watch this? It's only the most awesome sing-along blog ever to be created. I mean, Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Dollhouse, Firely) made it, and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother, Doogie Howser, etc) plus Nathan Fillion (Castle, Firefly, etc) start in it as Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer. It's a great bitter sweet story about how the villain wants to be evil AND get the girl because even though he aspires to be evil he has a soft side. The songs are great, the acting is superb, and the story is fan-fricking-tastic! I mean, After I finish the movie I went right back and watched it again! It's nothing less than a masterpiece.

Now, Joss is thinking of doing a sequel. Thing is, he always thought of doing a sequel for this movie. Some fans are worried as hell because of this cause, well, sequel's are known to be, well, crappy in comparison with the first try. I thought the first movie ended beautifully, and can totally work as a stand alone. But I do wish for some more fine tunes. I am not ashamed to say I have the entire Dr. Horrible album in my Ipod and I am going to buy the movie on blu-ray. Also I have no idea what he can come up with for the sequel, but I mean it's fricking Joss Whedon, I am sure he won't disappoint.

Where did I ver hear this info about a sequel?  Well, I found the link on Facebook of course. It took me to a page called Geek News from MTV (bookmarking it right... now). If you want to read the entire article click here by all means.

This is a little sneak peak on what Whedon has to say:

"We’ve just all got jobs. And it’s not like Neil, Nathan and Felicia ain’t busy either. We get together at Christmas and family occasions, and then play each other our partial songs and go, “Yup, that’s still exactly as it was the last time we played it. We’re great.” It’s bad."

-Joss Whedon, Source

And here is Act 1 part 1 for those poor souls out there who haven't had the chance to experience what I can only call awesome piece of work:

Enjoy, and comment!
