Remember last year those dashing TV Guide covers that contained special fall previews for the upcoming Warner Brothers shows from Comic Con 2010? No? I don’t remember what was in them, but the iconic picture of Tom Welling on the cover has been spared from the constant salivating by this hormonally challenged woman bearing that particular copy.
Sadly my dreams of a Supernatural cover has again been dashed, but hey, Jensen and Jared already made the cover twice this year. Give others a chance I guess. What does excite me is that Chuck made the cover this year, so I’m definitely seeking that out. Here’s all the details about the special issues with four different covers to be passed out at Comic Con 2011:
