A decent set of Twelfth Doctor stories. Most of the collection is just OK or fair, but the great "Witch Hunt" and the nostalgic fun of "The Stockbridge Showdown" make for a terrific finale. (B+)
Very good, although I did read it slightly out of order. Lover the Highgate Horror story, back to the old days of Hinchcliffe.
From the pages of dr who magazine. Another good collection of stories with good artwork. Loved the title story and enjoyed the rest of the book as well.
https://nwhyte.livejournal.com/3294665.htmlThe comics from Doctor Who Monthly covering more or less the second Capaldi season, with Clara as the companion in all but the last ("The Stockbridge Showdown", by Scott Gray and a host of artists, which takes the Twelfth Doctor back to Stockbridge for a huge amount of comics continuity which I found gratifying despite not seeing myself as deeply into the comics side of Who fandom).The best of these is the second last, "The Witch Hunt", story by Jacquel...
Fun filler episodes but nothing outstanding, really. The cover tricked me and it looked like we were going to have Clara and Bill as companions. Bah.
This book collects Doctor Who Magazine Comic strips from Issue 484 of Doctor Who Magazine and from Issue 489-500. Here’s a look at each story:Space Invaders (484): The Doctor and Clara attend an auction at a storage unit IN SPACE and get into a bidding war. This one has some dull moments and then the action feels a bit rushed with the Doctor actually telling us the moral. Still it has some humor and it’s not bad. Grade: C+Spirits of the Jungle (489-491): The Doctor and Clara visit an alien jungl...
'The Highgate Horror' collects several comic strip adventures for the Twelfth Doctor and Clara (plus a few friends) from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine. It's a really strong collection of stories written by Who notables Jonathan Morris, Mark Wright, Steve Lyons, Jacqueline Rayner, Roger Langridge and Scott Gray, with artists including Mike Collins, John Ross, Adrian Salmon and even the mighty Dave Gibbons bringing them to life.As you'd expect, there's a fair bit of variety here - stories set i...
Not only is this volume a hodge-podge of unconnected stories, but most of the stories also aren't that great. Fortunately the last two start to make up for that.Space Invaders! (484). Doctor Who meets Container Wars and the weird thing is that the author doesn't list Container Wars as an influence. There's almost no depth to this shallow story of an eldritch horror in a storage rental [2/5].Spirits of the Jungle (489-491). There was great possibility here, with the Doctor participating in some O...
A mixed bag of stories ranging from the OK (the eponymous "Highgate Horror") to the awful - "The Dragon Lord". The fan base is such a broad church it can't be easy pleasing everyone but this all felt a bit bland. The final tale, "The Stockbridge Showdown", was a fun celebration of Doctor Who Monthly's 500th edition, resurrecting favourite characters from 40 years of the publication. Dave Gibbons' marvellous artwork was a reminder of the comic's glory days but maybe that's just my middle aged bia...
