My fun little blog detailing all things pop culture...well, the interesting bits. I'll be covering music, television, film, and other similar areas of interest. I'll try to post at least once a day. Look for about 50% information, 50% opinion...but this is NOT a gossip blog. I am not Perez Hilton!

Doctor Who comics are coming!

If you're a fan of "Doctor Who" like me, you'll be very interested in hearing about a new series of comics coming out based on the popular British character. Entitled "Doctor Who: The Forgotten," this series appears to do something very interesting: it creates new storylines for all ten incarnations of the Doctor (and rumor has it some of them may end up meeting up with each other somehow). I'm not really a big fan of comics, but these actually look really cool and interesting.

For those of you not in the know, The Doctor is the last of a race called the Time Lords who travels through time and space, meeting new companions and tangling with many different foes throughout the series. The most unique aspect of the character is that every time he "dies" he actually is resurrected into a new body. Thanks to this, "Doctor Who" is the longest running science-fiction series in history and to date ten different people have played the role of The Doctor (including current Doc David Tennant, who you may recognize from "Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire").

Here's the article I found about these comics:

And if you want to see what the series is all about, you can catch new episodes of the current season Fridays at 9:00pm on the Sci-Fi Channel. Since there's really not much else on TV right now, it's the perfect time to get to know the good Doctor!
