Booksteve reads the new THUNDER Agents so we don't have to

Steve seems to have the same misgivings about modern superhero comics as I do, so I figure I'm safe skipping DC's reintroduced THUNDER Agents:

Perhaps at this point I was pre-disposed not to like DC's just-released version but the fact is, it is an overwritten, oddly colored, ambitious but complicated story with mostly unlikable characters.

Nice Darwyn Cooke cover though:

Paul Tobin presents a selection of covers form the Golden Age great. Some of these covers are so busy, but the work nevertheless. Some savage moments, too.

Quiz show gives couple another chance after botched Doctor Who question

A British couple will have a second chance to compete on a British game who because the show was mixed up on its Timelord trivia:

The pair were asked to chose between actors Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.
Unable to decide on the correct answer, they split their remaining $1 million (£650,000) between McCoy and McGann, only for the host to inform them the answer was Tennant.
However:

While McCoy only played the role from 1987 until 1989, he also starred in a 1996 film and, given that no one else portrayed the Timelord between those two points, he takes the title as longest reigning Doctor.
