My apologies to Robbie Morrison, but this guy writes Ten as if he were Eleven: arrogant, dismissive of his companion, flippant in the face of human suffering. I'm sorry, but I couldn't get through the first couple pages seeing my precious Ten handled so poorly. What happened to paying attention to his arc, or even the previous volume's writing?? I'm also not a fan of the art style, but honestly, anything is forgivable artistically if the writer stayed true to Ten's characterization.
Okay I know Doctor Who is known for being cheesy but this is just too much.The first story isn’t that good. Could be worse, but has some really stupid lines, and what really bothers me are the characters. Each and every one of them. The Doctor behaves like some weird mix between the Eleventh and the War Doctor, he’s really arrogant and so … negative. All the time. Gabby switches from incredibly clever to insanely stupid (where she remains the rest of the book). I mean there are two full pages of...
I really enjoyed the first Weeping Angels in WWI story, but not so much the noise pollution finale. Could have totally done without that one so luckily it was really short.
The Doctor vs Weeping Angels in world war I !!! Fantastic
It was good, and I always enjoy a good weeping angel story. But the art style was somehow very different from the last comic and that was a bit odd.
Good title (though it set me worrying about whether the Whoniverse has an Arthur Machen), and the story's not bad - though it holds few surprises for anyone familiar with the components (war comics, Weeping Angels, Tennant's Doctor). The big weakness is a mismatch between medium and monster, as when the audios have to handle interminably slow DA-LEK DI-A-LOGUE. The Angels' whole schtick is that they don't move - but in a comic, nothing does. And it's damn hard to maintain the illusion of movemen...
Okay there's a few points I have to make to explain this book. 1. I was drawn to this book because doctor who + graphic novel = my kinda book.2. I DID NOT like this book because language + degrading Christianity and God =angry Halee.3. The story was entertaining (it was set in WWI) but it was not edge-of-my-seat like I was expecting.4. The pictures/sketches are awesome!! They're super detailed and the color is really vibrant...So, for a wrap-up.....I would NOT recommend this book. The language w...
World War I is pretty much the perfect setting for the Doctor to take on the Weeping Angels. Of course the angels would be attracted to all of the death here and have little reason to worry about being found out. The characterization of the Tenth Doctor is spot on. I like the new companion created for this series. She's too young for the Doctor so for once we have a companion who's not in love with him. Daniel Indro's art is fantastic. Typically the art for a Doctor Who book is pretty spotty.
The Doctor and his companion Gabby find themselves in the trenches during WW1 at the Battle of Mons, where a group of weeping angels have started hunting soldiers on both sides of the conflict.This is the first Doctor Who comic that I felt really worked. The weeping angels adapt well to comic form due to being very visual and it helped that they were going for a more sad and frightening tone rather than wacky and funny like the previous comics. Hopefully this is a level of quality the other comi...
Apparently all it took for me to enjoy the Tenth Doctor ongoing was for the entire creative team to change. Whoops?Robbie Morrison's first four issues of the title are the titular Weeping Angels Of Mons, which find Gabby and the Doctor embroiled in World War One while Weeping Angels attack them from all sides. I didn't think the Angels would work well in comic form given their unique manner of moving, but it was surprisingly well done, and actually made me jump at least once. I appreciated Morri...
Really enjoyed this. The weeping Angel's are still the most terrifying villains. Even in cartoon form. It was funny. It was ridiculous. It was the doctor.
Nice stories overall, and I'm enjoying the dynamics between Ten and Gabby. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the Weeping Angels at all, and the graphics in the first story are significantly worse than in the previous volume.
My second outing with any of Titan's "Doctor Who" titles and certainly not disappointed...overall. The main story, featuring new classic villains the Weeping Angels, was everything it needed to be. It was suspenseful, it was eerie, it left me frantic to see what happens next. Pace, art, and setting (WWI) were spot on and I found this a very enjoyable read. My only criticisms would be: 1- The final story, a one shot set in NYC again, felt a bit flat and almost an altered duplicate of the first ar...
The Weeping Angels are one of my favourite creatures from Doctor Who. They are statues of angels, which “kill” their victims by sending them back in time so they lose all their loved ones and the life they know. The only way to stop them is to look at them, which means not blinking.The Weeping Angels target the World War One battlefield in this story because they can “feed” on many people all at once. The story is plausible, since so many people went missing and were never seen again during the
Gah! I love Doctor Who so much. The story is awesome and the art is so freaking cool. I found this second and fourth volume in Half Price Books, or rather my fiancé did, and I knew I had to have them. Eventually, I will have them all, as they did have a couple from the 11th Doctor, but I had to to with these first as David is my favorite. Hopefully, I will find the first and third soon. If you love Doctor Who, give these graphic novels a go (they do not follow the show btw).
3.0 out of 5 starsSo almost 75% of it felt like a repeat of the weeping angel plot line from the show. The only thing that was new really was the soldiers being from World War One and then the last like 15% being the sonic noise plot line.Loved the art and Gabby and that it is the tenth Doctor, but not my favorite graphic novel
Two nice stories in this second volume, the first and main story involves Weeping Angels and WWI. The second story is a short one off that takes us back to present day, we meet a couple alien races and the issue is resolved almost as soon as it is discovered.Gabby still isn't really grabbing me as a companion and the artwork remains embarrassingly awful, but its difficult to NOT enjoy a story featuring the Weeping Angels.Overall, this was an improvement over the last volume and the end of the WW...
Doctor Who, Tenth Doctor: Vol.2 The Weeping Angels of Mons (collecting Doctor Who: Tenth Doctor # 6-10)Great volume involving several character arcs.#6“There WAS a school of Sontaran painters that did a very nice line in apocalyptic landscapes. Before they were EXECUTED for artistic tendencies.” – Doctor“It’s a steampunk nightmare in there! You can’t move for knobs and levers.” – Gabby referring to the Tardis console..#7“It’s too wet for heaven or hell. Looks more like SCOTLAND if you ask me.” –...
like how it mentioned dr. strange casual but in the first volume it said the doctor liked comics. Kinda sad that there was no mention of it and if he has this vast knowledge why doesnt he knows things from previous times. Also only once was alonsy said or any catch phrases really in the first two volumes. Kinda a little disappointed on the doctors charteritics. not like the actually doctor at all much. Also no use of psychic paper to confirm their story they arent spies. Also the hand written le...
The Weeping Angel story that makes up the majority of this volume is quite good. It makes an excellent use of its setting in World War I, and it turns out that's a marvelous locale for the Angels too; they fit right in. (They also work well in the comic-book medium.) Morrison also has fun with the timey-wimeyness element of their powers, which pretty much every one else hand waves. Overall, it's a touching and interesting story, Morrison's best to date by a considerable amount. (I found his volu...
