Although TV Guide magazine was originally known for providing excellent coverage of what was coming up on our TV screens on a weekly basis, for most of us it could now just skip that section entirely, in favor of even more of its great feature articles and interviews. They do just that every year when they release their special Comic-Con editions, complete with collectible covers. Here’s the 2013 crop:
