Supernatural: The Official Companion #7
Supernatural: The Official Companion Season 7
ON THE ROAD. DESTINATION: PURGATORY
Supernatural, the hit show from The CW, introduced a new threat in season seven as the Winchesters faced the return of Earth's first - and most fearsome - monsters, the Leviathan, keeping viewers and critics alike glued to their screens.
Castiel has declared himself to be the "new God," but his reign is short-lived when the Leviathan - monsters with an appetite so terrible that God imprisoned them in Purgatory to protect all other life - break out and begin a campaign to consume humanity. Sam and Dean Winchester, along with Bobby Singer, must find a way to kill the Leviathan while dealing with their own demons: the hallucinations of Lucifer that are driving Sam insane, Dean's increasing sense of futility, and Bobby's death. Despite overwhelming odds, the Winchesters still find time to do battle with witches, kitsune, vetala, a shojo, Amazons, Osiris, and Chronos along the way.
This official companion is packed with exclusive interviews, photos, behind-the-scenes secrets, the low-down on the show's supernatural entities, and a complete episode guide. Plus a color portrait gallery of the starts!

Supernatural: The Official Companion Season Seven looks just like its predecessors but with season seven stuff. So first let me save you some time. If you liked the season six companion, you’ll enjoy this book, the reverse is also true.
The book launches straight into the “Forward” written by Andrew Dabb and Daniel Loftlin; both deserve awards for ass-kissery and bad puns. Before the episode recaps begin, there is a nice summary of season seven in a section called “Pasteurizing Supernatural”. The title alone is a nice nod to the role of the Leviathans over the course of the season. This section consists of quotes from executive producers Sera Gamble, Robert Singer, and Phil Sgriccia as they explain the thinking behind the newest bad guys and give a nice overview of how things are going for the main characters as they face more adversity than ever before.

I really enjoyed this companion, and definitely more so since I was reading it while I was rewatching the series. It gives insights into the actors minds, motivations and backstories for some of the characters, and even a behind the scenes look at some of the production and effects done on the show. There was a full color photo section as well that I enjoyed, and the "more about" certain monsters pages were really well done. I think I definitely need to get the other seasons companion books, this was a really fun read for any 'Supernatural' fan!

So sad to see that this is the last individual season companion. I do hope that may change but I'm doubtful. I just don't think those that have more than one season will be able to adequately project the season as these do! A must for any Supernatural fan!

Why, you might be asking yourselves, would I be reviewing Supernatural: the Official Companion Season Seven? In a time when the Internet knows all, and anything you like — fandom included — is just a click away, it’s hard to see that printing books of any sort is really worth the effort, season guides or guidebooks included. Every interview, gag reel, convention appearance and walk down the red carpet has already been catalogued and pored over by fans, dissected and analyzed six ways from Sunday. Off the top of my head, I can name Livejournal communities, gifs for every emotional reaction and occasion, more Tumblr pages and blogs than I can shake a stick at and veritable forests’ worth of fanfiction and fanart dedicated to any main-stream fandom.

As always - I really like these glimpses behind the scenes of "Supernatural" and get to know what actors, producers, writers, composers, stunt coordinators and so on think about the episodes and that you learn little bits and pieces about making a show like "Supernatural". All the black and white & coloured pics are a wonderful bonus. :)
