Geoff Sterling has “super heroes” that even DC and Marvel couldn’t make worse.. I fear for the safety of Rex.

Craig Oxbrow: I got more entertainment from ‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’ then both seasons of The Sarah Jane Adventures. SJA does get props for bring the Brigadier back though.

The winner for best manwhore is always Captain Jack.

The winner for best Doctor Who spinoff star, not so much.

“Now that whole Dr.Who/Rose/Captain Jack interaction from the episode “Boom Town” makes a lot more sense…”

Not as bad as Captain Jack’s reaction when he found out Sarah Jane had a kid….

Better intergalactic manwhore: Rick Purvis or Jack Harkness?

I have read one adventure of the Star Rovers in DC’s “Mysteries in Space!” collection, and it was pretty creative; the three of them go off exploring on a planet that turns out to be a living being which feeds on competitive energy.

But Karen competes in a shooting contest (because she is totally butch), Rick tries out an air-skiing competition and wins (by riding his bird mount–HMMM), and poor Homer is left to fight for his life in the jungle against a red monster who he eventually strangles to death with a stick.

Homer really got the shit end of said stick, I feel.

I will never not be optimistic about a reimagining.

I gotta disagree with MGK about Rick though. He doesn’t strike me as predatory at all, except maybe for the occasional honeypot trap.

Elmo, Twilight is awesome! Ant the art by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez is great.

Sorry, but when I got to “I’d suggest you read Twilight“, blood starting shooting from my eyes. I couldn’t read the rest.

I have read too many “re-imaginings” to ever be optimistic about another one. And Chaykin is not the man to change my mind.

PaulW and Patrick C.: I guess that makes three of us.

Captain Jack hivemind!

I get the feeling Mark Wheatley wasn’t a fan.

That great description, and only a lousy 18%? I’d read that comic ’til it bled.

Glad you mentioned Twilight. Be a shame if you weren’t aware of Karel’s enjoyment of Monkey Love!
