Written by Cavan Scott | Art by Adriana Melo | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp Although by no means perfect, and admittedly coloured by more than a little nostalgia, I enjoyed the recent 9th Doctor mini-series (that’s the Christopher Eccleston incarnation of The Doctor of course) and am happy to see it […]
Written by George Mann | Art by Emma Vieceli | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp Sometimes a book, a character, or a creative team, just don’t click for you no matter how hard you try to like them. The elephant in the room for me for example is Deadpool, never liked the […]
Written by Gordon Rennie, Emma Beeby | Art by Brian Williamson | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp If you asked the average long time Doctor Who fan, not the real fanatics of course who dissect the minutiae of every appearance and adventure, who they think of when they think of The Doctor […]
Written by Cavan Scott | Art by Blair Shedd, Rachel Scott | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 128pp Although not my favourite incarnation, I have a lot of affection for Christopher Eccleston’s all too short run as the 9th Doctor. After years without a show, when Dr Who looked like it was permanently […]
Written by David Tipton, Scott Tipton | Art by Various | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 304pp Back in 2013, when Dr Who anniversary-mania was sweeping the world (or at least areas with a high concentration of geekiness, such as my house) someone at IDW Publishing clearly thought they should just push the […]
Written by Nick Abadzis | Art by Elena Casagrande | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp After quite a slow start, this series is starting to find its feet a little better. At times it has just felt too safe, almost writing by numbers, and it seemed that Nick Abadzis was still looking […]
Written by Nick Abadzis | Art by Elena Casagrande | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp If I said I have been a little disappointed so far by Nick Abadzis’s run on this book that would probably be a little harsh. It’s not a bad book at all, but for me it has […]
Written by George Mann | Art by Emma Vieceli | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp To date I have been very underwhelmed by this series. Part of that may be that my expectations were too high, specifically excitement at a chance to add some genuine depth and character to an incarnation of […]
Written by George Mann | Art by Emma Vieceli | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp I found issue 1 of this series a mixed blessing. Very happy that the Eighth Doctor is getting a bit more ‘screen time’, as he is certainly an incarnation that is ripe for development, most of what […]
Written by Al Ewing, Rob Williams | Art by Simon Fraser, Boo Cook, Warren Pleece | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Hardback, 136pp As fun as monthly, or episodic, comics are, sometimes to fully appreciate a storyline or stories with a unifying theme you need to be patient and wait for the trade collection. […]
Christmas episodes of Doctor Who are normally irrelevant stories that don’t connect to the main series, and manage to be a little more light-hearted. This is why what we get with The Husbands of River Song is total fan service and the perfect coming together of Peter Capaldi and Alex Kingston. When The Doctor (Peter […]
Written by Nick Abadzis | Art by Elena Casagrande, Arianna Florean | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp My opinions of the Nick Abadzis stories have so far been pretty positive in the main, his issues being decent enough if not particularly memorable. I’ve been looking for something a little different from him, […]
A show like Doctor Who sometimes needs to do the unexpected, and that is what Doctor Who: 9×12 – Hell Bent does. What I think I will call this episode is “fan service” because that is exactly what it is, in all the right ways Continuing from Heaven Sent The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) is now […]
A few weeks ago with Sleep No More, I said that it was a Doctor Who experiment that had failed. With Doctor Who: 9×11 – Heaven Sent though, they’ve tried something new again, but this time brought us a season highlight which next week’s finale will have trouble topping. After the events of Face the […]
Doctor Who is a show that can make me swear at my television, because it can be so very annoying at times. With Doctor Who 9×10: Face the Raven, I knew what was coming as it was evident that one of my biggest grievances with Season 9 was about to cause issues for Clara and […]
I am going to start this review by saying I like Doctor Who, in fact I love it. I also like a show that is not afraid to experiment, and do something new. The problem is Doctor Who: 9×09 – Sleep No More is an experiment that went wrong though as usual manages to have […]
Titan Comics and BBC Worldwide have today announced a brand-new mini series starring the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith, as played by Tom Baker and the late Elisabeth Sladen. Entitled Gaze Of The Medusa, the five-part series will hit stores in March 2016 and will be penned by Gordon Rennie (Missionary Man, Judge Dredd) and […]
Written by Nick Abadzis | Art by Eleonora Carlini | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp If you remember from last issue, things are not going particularly well for the Tenth Doctor on Presley Station. Nick Abadzis and Eleonora Carlini’s tale had The Doctor dealing with the corruption of the Shan’tee, a race of beings conceptually visible to […]
Doctor Who annoys me, it is a show I love but it manages to disappoint me so much at times. Doctor Who: 9×08 – The Zygon Inversion at first raises many questions and feels like it is struggling to find its footing. Then with around twenty minutes to the end, becomes something very special for […]
Written by George Mann | Art by Emma Vieceli | Published by Titan Comics | Format: Paperback, 32pp The Eighth Doctor is something of a man of mystery in the pantheon of Doctors, being the only one who never had his own spotlight on the TV series. If you weren’t aware, Paul McGann only got […]
After The Woman Who Lived I was hoping that Doctor Who would bounce back with an interesting episode. Doctor Who: 9×07 – The Zygon Invasion is another beginning for a two parter, which holds a lot of promise, though a few plot holes manage to weaken its impact. With a fragile peace between the Humans […]
With The Girl Who Died last week Doctor Who delivered a good episode that set up a very good idea that should affect the rest of the season. In the second part though, The Girl Who Lived, we were given an episode that probably shouldn’t have actually happened. While that sounds harsh, the fact is […]
