"Th3rd World has announced newcomer Nicole Virella as the artist on its adaptation of The Mortal Instruments. The first chapter of the comic series adapting The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones - the first book in Cassandra Clare&amp;#039;s popular series - will debut on Free Comic Book Day. &amp;quot;I was very excited, especially since the story is set in New York City,&amp;quot; Virella told Newsarama. &amp;quot;Being a fan of the Buffy series, I love creatures of lore, so I couldn&amp;#039;t wait to start creating the look for The Mortal Instruments series. &amp;quot;I think people have a fascination with New York City because it has this romantic notion where it seems almost magical and anything can happen. &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t aware of the series beforehand, but [Th3rd World publisher] Mike [DeVito] had given me the first book, and I couldn&amp;#039;t wait to read the next in the series.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
