Fun, exciting adventures, and far more imaginative than most of the Doctor Who stories on the TV at the moment.
Volume 2 of the Eighth Doctor comic strips ensures that this is my favourite run that I've read from DWM so far.The Fallen - Acting as a semi-sequel to the TV Movie, a piece of media that I love despite it's flaws, this comic worked really well for me. The return of Grace Holloway was great to see, and I'd love to see an Eighth Doctor and Grace box-set (cough cough Big Finish) - 3/5Unnatural Born Killers - A nice little story reintroducing Kroton before he join the TARDIS a couple issues later.
The Doctor gets joined by a cyberman with a soul, and has epic adventures with new and old enemies. This is the Glorious Dead storyline, even the ones before that feed into it. There is some amazing artwork and real page turning plots. It also has a multi doctor anniversary story and a flashback to the early days of the cyberman companion. A really good read.
Sorry but there be spoilers here!Dr. Who the glorious dead is the second of four trade paperbacks collecting the 8th doctors adventuresVolume one endgame was horrible. It should've been great it had the Celestial toymaker it had the Daleks it had Max Edison, but most important it was Marvel UK's chance to define the 8th doctor. But it fell way too short, the glorious dead makes up for that, this is an eighth doctor who knows who he is and what he's all about. He has fun young geek as his compan...
The Fallen (273-276). The plot of this is just a battle against a proto-blob thingy. But it's got terrific connections to Doctor Who: The Movie, making it a critically important 8th Doctor story. We get to see what happened to Grace later on (in the comic-universe at least) and that proto-blob even devolves from the movie plot. As for the longer term plot ... well that's a topic for another story. [7/10].Throwback (Kroton: 5-7). A neat introduction to the cyberman Kroton. This close attention to...
This is the second book of Eighth Doctor Comic Strips collecting stories from #272-296 of Doctor Who Magazine and back up tales from Doctor Who Weekly #5-7, #23 and #24. This is the last Black and White collection for Doctor WhoThe Fallen (#273-276): A sequel to the TV movie that finds Grace Holloway (the Doctor's one shot companion from that movie) involved in some dodgy genetic experiments that lead to monstrous consequences. It's good follow up to a story that really had problems and explores...
None of the stories in this book blew my mind, but I enjoyed every single one of them. Grace is back, with a proper sequel to the TV movie; the Master has found a new body (that of a black human, which was probably revolutionary at the time); a lot of great side characters and new plotlines are introduced. There are sillier stories as well, all of which worked a lot better than I expected them to. And Kroton the Cyberman becomes a proper companion years after his introduction in the DWM comics (...
The second volume of the eighth doctor reintroduces a unique character in the form of kroton, the cyberman with a soul who first appeared in a backup strip in the early days of the comic. Those two strips are included here and they and the new strips are welcome additions. Continuing the story from the previous volume things move on with the return of old enemies and old friends. And this was the final set of black and white strips as with the next stories the strip would be in full colour in th...
I wanna reread this and write a prpper review but let me just say Kroton is a bean and I love him
