These are dry days for a fangbanger, what with season 4 of their favorite show having recently ended and season 5 still a ways off. Fortunately, IDW comics has seen fit to slake your thirst for more True Blood -- the comic book publisher has announced a new ongoing monthly series based on the hit HBO show. More after the break.
What happened this season? Where did it all fall apart? Maybe I am being a little dramatic, but this season of True Blood was kind of a let down, especially in the wake of season three. This season felt like an R-rated installment of Twilight. You have the puppy-dog vampire following the girl (luckily Eric wasn't as mopey as certain other vampires) and the girl torn between two men that she loves (by the way, I am still bummed that Sookie didn't suggest the three-way relationship. That would have been a good compromise and way hot). All these "feelings" got in the way of the hot sex, gratuitous nudity, and wicked violence that I have come to know and love.
For those of you didn't see last night's True Blood season 4 finale and don't want things to be spoiled, let's just say it... changed things a bit; and leave it at that until you catch up on your TiVo. Those of you who did catch the finale, check out what some of the cast are saying about it after the jump.
If any of you were doubting that HBO's True Blood would be back next year, cast your doubts aside. The network has just renewed the hit vampire show for a fifth season. More after the jump.

In her latest video blog, Jessica ponders the ethics of glamouring. She feels guilty about glamouring Hoyt into forgetting about her indescretions. This vlog obviously takes place in the midst of last week's episode - Jessica gives Arlene her old doll to give to Mikey. Check it out after the jump.

Last season - er, I mean, last year - Jessica signed off on her video blog because, frankly, things were going well for her. Now that domestic bliss with Hoyt has become stormy hell, she's hopping back in front the web cam and needs help. Check out her latest vlog after the jump.
True Blood has some of the best kill shots of any TV show or film. It's pretty impressive. I love that True Blood vampires actually bleed instead of turning to dust like so many other vampires. Season three seemed especially bloody, so if we follow with tradition, we can expect some beautiful kills this season. In honor of this weekend's fourth season premiere, we have culled together five of the greatest deaths in Bon Temps.
How do fans show their die-hardness? By branding themselves as such with permanent reminders. We have scoured the web for some of the best True Blood-inspired ink to decorate Truebies skin.
"True Blood addiction is no laughing matter," according to Stephen Moyer. The rest of the cast agrees, and has joined with HBO to rectify TB Withdrawl, "the leading source of television withdrawl in America." After the jump, we have the PSA the cast shot to address this serious matter. And because we know you are an addict, we've also got each individual actor's PSA. Just hit that jump and enjoy.
HBO released two more minutes of the season premiere of True Blood. I've got to say, this latest preview is... a little ridiculous. That is the best I can say without giving too much away (for those trying to remain pure). Check out the clip after the jump.
August will see the release of a new True Blood comic series from IDW. Subtitled The French Quarter, the new six-issue series is written by Mariah Huehner and David Tischman with art by David Messina and Claudia Balboni. We've got story deets after the jump.

UPDATED 14 June 2011: Apparently the video below is no longer working. We've got all eight minutes from the first episode here.
Last week we told you that the first three minutes of the season premiere of True Blood had been "leaked" on HBO Go. HBO just released the next three minutes, and they were kind enough to put it on their YouTube page for those of us who, for example, have Time Warner Cable, a service which doesn't support HBO Go, even if you pay out the ear for service (not that I am bitter or anything).
I won't say anything about the clip, but obviously, if you don't want to be spoiled, don't click the jump. Warning - it is a damn addictive six minutes...
