This is way old news. but David Tennant stepped down as the current Doctor Who and was replaced by Matt Smith. I'm tempted to watch the new series to see if there's any improvements now that Russell Davies has left. But that's not the point of this article other than to mention that the Doctor's apparently Benjamin Button now.
I've seen ads for the new series, and it's good to know that the Eleventh Doctor stole his new outfit from Buckaroo Banzai.
Or Pee Wee Herman...

Comics: The Good and the Bad
The Bad: Wolverine Origins #5
The problem with this series is that every issue's the same. It promises answers. All we get is a few hints, and it's been going on for five issues. The only real reason I still get this is that he's wearing the brown costume, but Dillion's simplistic art doesn't make even that worth the $2.99 this issue costs. Cap also seems uncharacteristically hostile in general, and Cyclops would not scream like a girl. That being said, the page afterwards is the only worth a peek at. C-
The Good: Buckaroo Banzai #2
This 80s icon cut through red tape and licensing problems to save the world once more from the threat of red lectroids. I don't even know where to begin when it comes to describing the plot and that's part of the beauty. The only problem I have is the sudden appearance of Happy Weiner, but the art's steady and overall pretty impressive. It may not be for everyone, but it's definately something good you're not reading. B+

Buckaroo Banzai Comic Book
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...
