    Buck Rogers' New Future Is Retro Beautiful

    Dynamite Entertainment has released Alex Ross's painted cover for the first issue of its new Buck Rogers series, and it's the kind of old-school goodness we'd wanted all along. Click through for the whole thing.

    The series, launching later this year (with a preview issue in May), revamps the character and mythos for a new century, but Ross' amazing cover manages to evoke old-school pulp covers without even breaking a sweat. If the rest of this series looks this good, we're completely on board.
