Strap on your jetpack and set your phasers to “mildly confused,” because this week on Play Comics we’re rocketing straight into the neon-lit chaos of Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday! That’s right—dust off your Sega Genesis and prepare for a wild ride through a universe where the future looks suspiciously like a 1990s living room.

Joining us for this cosmic caper is none other than Vasco Pickett, a local legend whose wisdom is as deep as the Martian canyons and whose internet presence is, well… let’s just say he’s more “boots on the ground” than “cloud in the cloud.” Vasco brings his real-world charm (and possibly a ray gun or two) to help us unravel the tangled web of Buck Rogers lore—from dice-rolling tabletop escapades to pixelated Genesis heroics.

So, whether you’re a die-hard fan of space operas, a retro gaming aficionado, or just here for the witty banter, grab your space helmet and tune in. It’s time to blast off with Play Comics, where the only countdown is to a good time!

Learn such things as:

  • Does the main character of a franchise that basically only exists to be centered around that character even need to show up in the game?
  • Will Chris have an existential crisis that an Atari 2600 game can be better than a Sega Genesis game?
  • Will future generations even know the experience of hanging out at the movie theater?
  • And so much more!

You can find the Vasco if you already know where he lives or his favorite restaurant or something because you won’t find him on the internet.
