***UPDATE***

We’ve taken your questions about the release to FOX. The DVD/BD will be packaged with a copy of “Epitaphs” regardless of where you pre-order from (SDCC, Amazon, etc). We’re still waiting to hear back on whether or not the UK release will include the comic. Those who pre-order the set at SDCC will receive a litho created by Dark Horse for Comic-Con, which Mo and Jed will be on-hand to sign.

Why it’s Felicia Day on the cover of a comic book! Fancy that! Here’s a peak at the cover of the new limited edition Dollhouse comic book by Dark Horse Comics, which comes with the season 2 DVD and Blu-ray, set for release on October 12th. The book, which is exclusive to the DVD/BD set, was written by Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen who will be doing a signing at Comic-Con on Friday, 7/23 11:00am to 12:00 noon. You can secure your copy of season two packaged with this limited edition comic starting on Preview Night (Weds) and running through Sunday at SDCC.

“I think if we had been approached in the beginning to write a supernatural show, we would have ended up with something far less satisfying,” affable series creator Toby Whithouse says from London.

Whithouse is on the telephone to Canada because Being Human: Season 1 debuts Tuesday on DVD and Blu-ray. Both are two-disc sets. They share identical extras, including helpful character profiles and a Whithouse session reminding us how tenuous success really is — especially because the first fanbase was inspired by social media, not conventional ratings.
