Fernando Cayo, Manuela Vellés, Ana Wagener, Xoel Yáñez. Kidnapped will get its first US screening in September at the Austin Fantastic Fest.
Blake Lively took time out from her shooting schedule for a cover spread and interview in July’s issue of Glamour.
The star of Gossip Girl, The Town, Accepted, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants talks about fashion, her choice of roles in film, puff pastries, walking the red carpet, and her role as Hal Jordan’s boss/main squeeze Carol Ferris in DC’s live-action adaptation of Green Lantern.
She also took a few minutes to pose for a pic or two which you can find after the jump.

Keeping in form with the recent issues, issue #10 focuses specifically around Jade. What do you say about a comic that has a character hang herself in the middle of a classroom of her peers at the prompting of her teacher?
What we learn in this issue is that Jade sees reality in many different ways including while dreaming, under some kind of forced hypnosis or sleep, and, even during brief moments of death (real or imagined). The way the story is presented its hard to get a handle on how much is actually happening to Jade and how much of it is in her mind.
What we do know is in this other reality she sees several interesting characters including what appears to be an older version of herself trying to help her along her troubled journey. Like most of the series so far this one raises more questions than answers, and I’ve got mixed feelings concerning the emotionally explosive hanging sequence, but it’s certainly not boring. Worth a look.

In a world without the Flash who steps up to be the hero of Central City? Captain Cold, who else?
Under the the name Citizen Cold the villain we’ve known for years as one of the the Flash’s Rogues Gallery is a meaner, far deadlier, less sunny and more opportunistic, version of Booster Gold when he first appeared. This Cold is out to save the world, but only if it helps line his pockets and glorify his name.
In reality Cold is two-bit hood from a broken and abusive family, something a noisy reporter’s assistant has stumbled onto. Anybody else find it funny that Wally West is Flashpoint‘s Jimmy Olsen?
Interesting first issue which starts out with a battle between Cold and Mr. Freeze (pretty cool), a revelation that the Rogues are part of this reality as well (more of a miss), and ends with Wally West turned into a frozen Popsicle (okay that’s kinda funny). I could have done with far less of the tortured back story, but it’s still worth a look.
