I read on Comics Continuum the other day that Moonstone Books, a small press company, has obtained the rights of Buckaroo Banzai for a new comic series. It will be written by Banzai creator Earl Mac Rauch and drawn by Stephen Thompson. For the uninitiated, feel free to pick up the novel adaptation written by Rauch.
In other news, there's been rumors buzzing about the Internet that Dreamwave Comics, who currently hold the Transformers licence, are going out of business. There's no official word either way from Dreamwave itself, but it doesn't sound promising. I personally hope that this is just a bad rumor, since Dreamwave showed that you don't have to be DC or Marvel to be successful in comics.
It didn't hurt that they were making comics based on a famous '80s cartoon series. Anyway, Marvel had bankrupt problems a few years ago, and they're still around...
