The Guild will return to comic form, too
A second comic series based on Felicia Day’s The Guild will be published in 2011:
Dark Horse will officially announce at Comic-Con International in San Diego that Felicia Day’s “The Guild” is set to return to comics in 2011. Day’s popular web-based video series, which entered its fourth season this week, follows the offline adventures of the Knights of Good, a guild within a massively multiplayer online role playing game referred to simply as “The Game,” though recognizable as a “World of Warcraft” analogue. Day writes and produces the series, as well as starring as Codex. This year’s three-issue “Guild” comic series served as an origin story, both for Codex’s gaming life and for the guild as an entity. The sequel series, however, will find each issue focusing on a single character and illustrated by a different artist. The first issue will star noble guild-leader Vork, and is co-written by Jeff Lewis, the actor who portrays him.

Yay! There will be a Season 4!
Never let it be said that Microsoft doesn’t do some good things:
We’re pleased to announce that Season 4 of The Guild is official — Microsoft has renewed the show for another season and new episodes of The Guild will be coming to Xbox, Zune and PCs this summer.
Felicia is putting the finishing touches on the script for Season 4, which will pick up where Season 3 left off. Pre-production is underway, keeping producer Kim Evey and Streamy Award winning director Sean Becker very busy as cameras are set to roll sometime in May. Seasons 1 through 3 are currently available on watchtheguild.com, iTunes, Amazon and YouTube.
Even if you know nothing about MMORPG, you’ll find The Guild to be well worth watching.

The Guild breaks into comics
Didn’t it used to be the other way around, with comics graduating to live action shows or movies? Well, in this case, Felicia Day’s brilliant web series The Guild is moving to comic form, at least for three issues:
It’s too bad she has to work on her new Syfy movie today. Otherwise, Felicia Day would totally be stopping by any and all Toronto comic shops.
An actress, writer and much-loved geek goddess, Day has successfully transplanted her popular Web series The Guild from the Internet to the page as scribe for Dark Horse Comics’ charming new The Guild, a three-issue miniseries debuting in stores today.
She’s reminded of the one random day in Barnes & Noble when she first saw a DVD of The Guild, the award-winning online comedy that for three seasons has followed a girl named Cyd (Day) and her guild of eccentric fellow online gamers known as the Knights of Good.
“I kind of geeked out and took a picture of it for my own posterity. But I’m such a book and comic lover. It’s just seeing something that has my name on it. And then my face twice on one of the covers! So that’s kind of like, ‘Ugh, get over yourself,’ ” Day says, laughing.
“I can’t help but get a little sick of my face, but it is exciting. It’s fun to see myself drawn.”
I’m sure hoping that the no-longer-accurately-titled “World’s Biggest Book Store” has a copy in stock when I visit there tonight.
Update, 25 March: No, they didn’t. They also didn’t have John Scalzi’s The God Engines or The Trade of Queens, the final book in the Merchant Princes series by Charles Stross. I did manage to get one of the four items I was looking for, The New Vichy Syndrome: Why European Intellectuals Surrender to Barbarism by Theodore Dalrymple.

Another tale of Canadian retail online follies
The most recent season of The Guild got released on DVD this week. I’m certainly going to be ordering a copy, but there appears to be a hitch: it’s not (yet) being carried by my usual online suppliers. Amazon.ca doesn’t have it listed yet, and Chapters/Indigo says it won’t be available until May 25th.
Amazon.com says it’s shipping right now.
And this will be another case of “nobody wants it” in Canada when it finally does become available through Canadian channels because anyone who wanted it already ordered it from US sources.
