Attending San Diego Comic-Con isn’t for the faint of heart and neither is watching FX Networks’ drama series, The Strain. Slated for a five-season run, The Strain is based on a trilogy of graphic novels written by Chuck Hogan and Guillermo Del Toro. The books are brought to extremely vivid life in the series; if you’re not careful, you may become grossed out by some of the special effects used to create the slithering worms that spread the vampiric infection. Bear in mind, while The Strain is based on the premise of the books, as well as the characters, the show itself is an entity unto its own. Being able to interview the cast was an added bonus at this year’s Comic-Con because I was able to interview several cast members I didn’t speak with at last year’s event.
