With Christopher Eccleston making such a big hit in Heroes, one could scarcely have imagined anyone else that could have brought forth the intensity and range to the first season of the revived Dr. Who series. Well, David Tennant, of course, who’s done a bang-up job on Series 2 and (from what we hear) 3 and is wonderfully easy on the eyes to boot. But — Hugh Grant? 
The New York Comic Con is beginning to look like San Diego East. Expect lots of stuff that’s comics-related but isn’t necessarily graphic storytelling on paper.
