Distributed by IDW Publishing, Locke & Key tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion, with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them... and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all. Friedman ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") will write and produce.

411mania.com posted a new extensive interview with former Battlestar Galactica star Katee Sackhoff and here are few excerpts.
Al Norton : [...] you've got a pretty cool website that gets updated all the time.
Katee Sackhoff: My website is fantastic because my webmaster Justin kicks ass. You can get video updates, which are fun. It's me, typically with no makeup on, answering questions and being stupid. We do weekly updates on what I'm doing. All my press stuff is up there. My blog hasn't started yet because I'm a little scared of what I'll say so I've kind of avoided that. It's pretty fun. We are trying to bring back the fan clubs of the 90's. Now with the internet there is all this information readily available but in the 90's you had to be in a fan club to get the information and that personal connection and we are trying to be the best of both worlds. The store on the website is almost up and running and people will be able to buy pictures and autographs and memorabilia, with all of the money going to charity.
Al Norton: Avoiding talking about any projects in general, how do you deal with being in the middle of pilot season and having your character and possibly your show be so up in the air?
Katee Sackhoff: The good thing about 24 is that I'm friends with Brannon Braga (one of the show's executive producers) so it makes it easier for me to get some information out of him. I can find out enough so that I don't worry either way. I haven't had to gamble too much with what I am going to be doing.
Al Norton: I know it's almost a year ago now but were you happy with the Battlestar Galactica finale, both for the series and for Starbuck.
Katee Sackhoff: Yes, very much so. The one thing I requested from the writers and Ron Moore (the showrunner) the entire time was that I wanted Starbuck to be at peace and however she got to that point I was cool with. And I feel that she found it.
Al Norton: And the last few minutes of the episode?
Katee Sackhoff: I loved it. I know some people thought it was crap but those were probably the same people who were like, "Starbuck's a girl?!?!"
Al Norton: Tell me about your comic book project.
Katee Sackhoff: It's called Versus and we just started taking meetings to pitch to comic book houses. I can't tell you anything yet (laughing). All I can tell you is that my writing partner is a comic book fanatic and told me he used to have this mad crush geek boy fantasy about the Black Canary and he said that this new character is his new fantasy. She's so bad ass. I think it's going to make a lot of little boys swoon and a lot of girls pretty excited. It's a lot of fun.
Al Norton: Was doing a comic book on your to-do list?
Katee Sackhoff: It was on my to-do list. I have a list of things I want to do, especially since I'm hitting my 30's.
