TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES -- SUMMER GLAU

Summer Glau, who returns as Cameron for Season 2 of Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, said the "strange family dynamic" among the three main characters is "more strained" this season.

"The dynamic, it's definitely shifted, and I think that Cameron is more dangerous than ever," Glau said. "And she and John go through something really, really important in our premiere that I really looking forward to people seeing."

BLUEWATER TEAMS WITH ROGER CORMAN

Bluewater Productions has announced it is teaming with Roger Corman to adapt and re-imagine some of the genre filmmaker's work beginning next year.

Properties in the Roger Corman Presents title will include Death Stalker, The Barbarian Queen, Humanoids from the Deep and a re-franchising of Corman's super hero Black Scorpion, who was featured in two made-for-cable movies on Showtime and a 22 one-hour episodes on the Sci Fi Channel.

"Comic books have given me so much over the years that it's time I gave something back to the medium," Corman said.

Because Bluewater now is working with both Corman and the Vincent Price estate, the publisher hopes to turn several of the horror classics based on the Edgar Allen Poe stories into comics form in the near future.

"Roger Corman's body of work is so visual and visceral," said Bluewater's president Darren G. Davis. "What will make these titles stand out is that Mr. Corman will be personally involved in their development.

"This is not just another licensing gimmick, but an outlet to rediscover his creative genius and a chance for readers to once again be pleasantly frightened. I still get the willies from the Masque of the Red Death."

Each Bluewater-Corman book with be full of extras, including interviews, behind-the-scene pictures and reminiscing about the titles from Corman.

Television writer/producer and Black Scorpion co-creator Craig J. Nevius -- whose credits include the never released Fantastic Four movie -- is overseeing the Bluewater/Corman collaboration. Creators for the comic will include Paul Salamoff, Shon Bury, Neal Bailey, Ed Brisson and Daniel Cuchacovich.

"Roger and I had always intended to create a comic book franchise based on the Black Scorpion movies and TV series," Nevius said. "And with classic costumed superheroes back in vogue thanks to the success of the Batma' and Iron Man movies, the time seemed right to bring back our costumed superheroine.²

Black Scorpion was originally played by Joan Severence before Michelle Lintel took over the role for the television series. Bluewater has struck a deal with Lintel to use her likeness in the comic book.

VIRGIN COMICS SHUTS DOWN NEW YORK OFFICE

Virgin Comics announced on Tuesday that it "will be reorganizing its operations and closing its New York office to consolidate in a Los Angeles base."

According to Virgin, it is currently working with management to restructure the business and will release its future plans in the next few weeks.

Sharad Devarajan, CEO, said, "We remain excited about the business and partnerships we have built through Virgin Comics and are working towards a restructuring that properly takes the business forward. The decision to scale down the New York operations and concentrate on core activities is due to the current macro-economic downturn and is in no way a reflection on the dedicated and valuable employees we have had the privilege to work with."

TOP COW PRODUCTIONS' IMPALER

Top Cow Productions has announced it will publish the first, complete story arc of William Harms' Impaler in a new trade paperback that will debut this October, and then will launch a new series for the property in December.

The first three issues of the series were initially published by Top Cow parent company Image Comics in 2006-2007, but the series was never completed. The Impaler Vol. 1 trade paperback collects those three issues plus the final, three never-before-seen issues of the initial story arc.

Top Cow also greenlighted a new ongoing to follow the collection.

Here's how the book is described:

"A derelict cargo ship is found adrift offshore during a terrible blizzard in New York City. When New York's Finest is sent to investigate the missing crew, an unspeakable horror is unleashed that quickly spreads all over the snow-covered borough, as a vampire plague quickly moves through the city's population. The people's only hope lies in Vlad Tepes, the real-life historical inspiration for the vampire legend, Dracula. Vlad the Impaler arrives to defend the city from the ever-growing vampire horde, but how much can one man do against an army of thousands?"

Impaler Vol. 1 features a cover by John Paul Leon and features by Nick Marinkovich, Nick Postic and Francis Tsai. The introduction is written by science fiction and horror writer F. Paul Wilson, who is responsible for the Repairman Jack series of novels and such horror books as The Keep, Midnight Mass and The Touch. Extras in the collection include script pages from unused scenes and bonus artwork.

The ongoing series will feature art by British newcomer Matt Timson.

"One of the nice things about having the break between the Image series and the new series is that it really gave me time to nail down where the story is headed," Harms said. "I have the next couple arcs already plotted, and I think fans of the book will really dig where things are going."
