Starz has had a successful launch of the new Torchwood series, Miracle Day. New episodes of Torchwood: Miracle Day air Friday nights at 10:00.
Recently, Starz brought the cast of Torchwood to San Diego Comic Con where they participated in a screening of the third episode as well as a panel. You can take a look at that panel here:
There were also plenty of wonderful interviews that happened over the course of the Comic Con weekend. If you're interested, leave a comment saying so, and I'll gather a collection of them in an upcoming blog post.
For those lucky viewers who have Ipads or Iphones, you can check out the original motion comic Torchwood: Web of Lies. The series is written by Jane Espenson and features the voice talents of John Barrowman, Eve Myles, and Eliza Dushku. Web of Lies is an interactive, enhanced story that gives away clues to the sinister forces behind the "miracle" of Miracle Day. Go check out the first episode on You Tube here:
For more information on Web of Lies, including how to download each new episode that will be released in tandem with new episode airings of Miracle Day, check out this website.
For those of you who still pine for some more traditional Torchwood tales, there are three BBC Radio Plays that take place just before and just after the Children of Earth mini series. There are also three new novels in the works. Stay tuned for more information on those.

BBC America is Bringing it ALL to Comic Con International
According to News-a-Rama, BBC America is set to bring the biggest names in Doctor Who and Torchwood to San Diego's Comic Con International, July 23-26. With their latest acquisition of first run rights to Doctor Who as well as the release of Torchwood: Children of Earth, BBCA is bringing show creator/recreator Russell T. Davies, Julie Gardner, and director Euros Lyn for both Torchwood and Doctor Who's panels.
For Torchwood's panel, they have the irreplaciable John Barrowman and for the Doctor Who panel they have David Tennant, fresh out of filming his final scenes as the Doctor.
The Doctor Who panel is on Sunday at 10AM in Ballroom 20. The Torchwood panel (which is partnered with a small bit of Being Human) is also Sunday at 2:15PM in Room 6BCF.
There will also be a back-to-back showing of Doctor Who's "Planet of the Dead" and the final episode of Torchwood: Children of Earth on Saturday at 7:30-10PM.
BBCA will also feature a part of the Doctor Who set at their booth in the exhibit hall.

It's a Date! (US)
Well, by internet standards, this is old news, but it is still worth saying. Thanks to our readers who also posted this information.
BBC America has announced their air date for Children of Earth!
"The highly anticipated return of Torchwood: Children of Earth will kick off the first of BBC AMERICA's HD offerings. Told over five consecutive nights starting July 20 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, the series re-joins Captain Jack (John Barrowman), Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) and Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd) as they are still coming to terms with the death of two of their closest friends. Yet despite their pain, they know they have a job to do. This time they are faced with their fiercest threat to date - one which throws the future of Torchwood and the entire human race spiralling into danger. Battling against the odds. do they stand a chance of saving mankind?"
Then on July 28th, Children of Earth (on DVD and Blu-Ray) as well as Torchwood series two on Blu-Ray will be released in the US.
Some fans may be thrilled or disappointed to hear that these dates overlap into San Diego Comic Con (July 23-26), a convention which has hosted BBC America and Torchwood-themed panels for the past two years. Any American Torchwood fans that are attending will have to figure out how to squeeze watching the episodes into their plans (like me). As of now, no information has been released regarding a Torchwood presence at this coming Comic Con. What is known is that BBC has an official booth in the convention's dealers' hall. Hopefully they'll have something special planned for the fans.
Finally, I'm curious to hear from you! Children of Earth is right around the corner and- with a lot of the audience- the remaining Torchwood team members will be mourning the loss of Toshiko and Owen. What were your favorite Tosh and/or Owen moments? What will you miss about them in series three?
