The theme song is still indelibly etched in the minds of late ‘80s and early ‘90s kids raised on a steady diet of the Disney Afternoon.
Ch-ch-ch-chip and Dale. Rescue Rangers.

Debuting in 1989, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers re-imagined Disney’s long-running chipmunk troublemakers as a detective duo, joined by a couple of mice — cheese-loving adventurer Monterey Jack and spunky inventor Gadget — and a surprisingly helpful housefly named Zipper. The show was one of Disney’s many syndicated animated hits of that era; running for 65 episodes, spawning a couple of NES games and getting 19 issues of a comic from Disney’s short-lived comic book publishing division.

Twenty years later, BOOM! Studios is following up on the success of their Darkwing Duck comic and debuting a new Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers ongoing series this December, from Darkwing writer Ian Brill and with Leonel Castellani (Super Hero Squad) on art. Newsarama contacted Brill to find out if there’s still no case too big, no case too small. check it out HERE

Cold Space is a new comic book series co-written by Samuel L Jackson and Eric Calderon drawn by Jeremy Rock, to be published in April by Boom! Studios. Jackson and Calderon have previously worked on the Afro Samurai animation but this is their first comic book together. And the central character, an on-the-run-outlaw crashlanded on a planet in the middle of a civil war, is modelled on Samuel L Jackson himself. Is a TV series/movie franchise in the offing here? Samuel Jackson was the art-model for Nick Fury in the Ultimates comic book, which saw him cast in the role for Iron Man, Hulk and upcoming Thor and Avengers movies. Bleeding Cool recently broke the story of Vinnie Jones doing this with Howard Chaykin, for the Noble comic book/TV series, who is next?
