Likely spoiling IDW Publishing's announcement at next weekend's Gallifrey One convention, Rich Johnston at Bleeding Cool scooped that there may be a Time Lord in Capt. Picard's command chair this May. For real, yes?
In the first issue of the newly-relaunched Doctor Who comic series from IDW, writer Tony Lee captures the Eleventh Doctor so meticulously you're tempted to credit Matt Smith for the acting job.
(Tony was last seen in these parts reviewing The Pandorica Opens and talking about comics in 2MTL 143.)
Three topics for you today: A potential bonus for the U.S. thanks to the split 2011 season, new comics from Tony Lee and Paul Cornell, and a look at the curious case of classic-series nostalgia among new-series fans.

If you value your productivity and you're a Doctor Who fan, do [...]
Tony Lee wrote it. Pia Guerra drew a good chunk of it. (If only she could have done more!) IDW published it. And Chip read this six-issue comic book miniseries, and pronounced it good in roughly-120-seconds-not-counting-the-theme.
