Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-star Nicholas Brendan is to launch a webcomic.

The actor, who played Xander Harris in the television show, will be at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con promoting Very Bad Koalas.

Collaborating with animation director and producer Steve Loter and illustrator Rafael Santiago, the comic follows the adventures of Avery and Irving, two koalas on the run from the authorities in their 1958 Cadillac El Dorado.

It charts the strange encounters they have along the way and their struggle with addiction.

"If you follow the news at all you probably know - it's not really a secret - I have a little addiction problem that I get arrested for from time to time," Brendan told Chicago Now. "God bless sobriety!

"But I think Avery is going to have a problem with his eucalyptus intake. Because the whole thing about koalas is that they're fierce creatures, and what keeps them mellow is the eucalyptus, that acts like a catnip for them."

Out of rehab and on the web; good show, Nic! Stay out of trouble and right what ya know!

(CNN) -- In just a few short months, Apple's iPad has become a popular mobile tool for web surfing, watching TV and reading electronic books. But its biggest impact may come in a lesser-known area of multimedia: digital comics. The best-selling "Scott Pilgrim" graphic novel series was released this week as an iPad app to coincide with Friday's release of the movie, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." Many more iPad comic-book titles are expected soon.

The digital revolution marches on - seriously, this is an important story to keep track of - for fans of comics this is the single most important story in the business right now.

Daredevil ain't ending. Bruce Wayne will be back, and soon.

If you're worried about the future of your favorite characters, what you need to be concerned with is comics following in the footsteps of all other popular media and making as smooth a transition to digital as possible.

Also, reading comics on the ipad is so cool!

Digital comics have been big news for a while, but the iPad is be the current big dog getting the attention, with even DC Comics—traditionally the least tech-friendly major publisher—jumping into the fray with their app. Retailers fret about losing customers. Publishers dream of getting new readers, or at least getting some lapsed ones back.
