WOW! Great stuff Plastic Bag!

And speaking of TV Guide, Ausiello threw out another tidbit today. We’ve seen an earlier spoiler about a new female character that “wields a tremendous amount of sex appeal” and is willing to “get her hands dirty” for her employer. Ausiello says that the new character’s name is Faith (played by Missy Peregrym) and will debut in chapter eighteen. He promises that tomorrow he will drop us a clue to her power in one of his famous asterisk cryptograms.
