Who’s Ready For An Adventure In Space And Time? – See the pun in that one? You will in a moment. Doctor Who fans rejoice, as the series nears its 50th anniversary next year. The series once intended to be titled An Adventure In Space And Time began back in November of 1963. To celebrate this, BBC announced this week that BBC2 has commissioned a 90-minute drama about how Doctor Who came to be.

Guest Creators On DC Comics – This week we already saw Becky Cloonan step in to the art duties of Batman for issue #12, but all this week on The Source (DC’s official blog) there has been talk of guest creators stepping in. Whether this is a sign of Editors once more trying to keep books coming out on time or a potential shake up for new creative teams…who knows but those sitting in the DC offices. However, here is what we do know: Pascal Alixe will be taking over art on Red Hood and the Outlaws #14, just before the next Batman event, ‘Death of the Family’. Artist Pete Woods will be working on Aquaman #14 alongside Geoff Johns. On Nightwing, fans will get an entire new guest creative team for issues #13 and 14, as Tom DeFalco, Andres Guinaldo and Mark Irwin take over, once again, right before the big Batman event.

 

Gotta Catch ‘Em All At Gamestop – Pokemon, the ever loved franchise of video games that has you catching now somewhere around 650 different super powered critters for intense battles, is about to introduce a new pocket monster to the mix. Exclusive to Gamestop, Nintendo has revealed their newest mythic Pokemon. Well, they sort of have…right now she’s more of a silhouette. However, come August 20th you’ll get the name and full image of the new Pokemon at Pokemon.com, and from August 27th through October 6th you can attend special distribution events at participating Gamestops to catch your own! Until then, we can only look at the silhouette below and presume Nintendo’s Pokemon designers have come down with a case of Brony love. (Note: this new Pokemon will only be available to gamers with the Black or White version of Pokemon for DS. If you were hoping to get this guy on Black ver.2 or White ver.2, you might need to invest in their original releases first, as both sequels come out the day after this event ends!)
