A fantastic read! Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down! Highly recommend it as the writer got the voice of the familiar characters nailed down. The art is amazing and makes one forget we are reading a comic strip!
What a cracking run of stories, Genius idea - putting 12th Doc in 1972 for stretch and all leading to a great showdown with the Delgado Master.Wright nails Capaldi's Doctor and brings Delgado's Master to silky, evil life.The DWM comics are always better than the US ones, and this collection is absolute proof.
The Pestilent Heart gives us five Twelfth Doctor stories that help fill the gap between Clara's departure from the TARDIS and Bill's arrival.First up is the Pestilent Heart in which the Doctor re-encounters Jess Collins (who he met in a previous story) in 1970s London. Evil is afoot in the London Underground and the Doctor has to sort it before Jess' dad is claimed as a permanent victim. Mixed feelings on this. Evil in the underground is an age old. So age old it was done in the penultimate 10th...
The cover rather gives away the finale to this ‘season’ of DWM comics, but you can’t altogether blame it, because isn’t Capaldi’s Doctor versus Delgado’s Master an idea to conjure with? The story itself…well, it’s OK, but there’s far too little of the two of them together, though I love the angle it takes once they do meet. The route there? Again, it has elements I love, without quite making me feel they’ve quite been done justice. We open in Brixton, 1972, where something untoward has been dist...
OK, but nothing more. The artwork is mostly good, apart from the occasional cartoony episode, but I think these collections are more for a younger readership (not mature sophisticatz like moi). At least the stories here form a whole - an arc where the twelfth Doctor is stranded in Brixton while the Tardis recuperates. His hosts, the Collins family, are likeable (moreso than recent TV companions) and a good foil to our irascible hero. Nice to see the original Master return (as played by the late
4.5 stars. It was a fun little read. I really liked to see the 12th Doctor meet Delgado's Master. Jess was a nice companion as well.
A complete arc taking place between the Twelfth Doctor's second and third seasons, with the Doctor being stuck on Earth in the 1970s and taking refuge with humans, the Collins family. The Doctor and the family mesh together pretty well, particularly in the standalone story "Moving In", although some of it depends on a bit more silliness than we usually see with Twelve. (There's a particularly fun conversation between the Doctor and the younger son about superheroes.) We also get a rare example o...
From the pages of dr who magazine. The original master is back! Roger Delgado makes a guest appearance in the title story of this entertaining collection. The art is excellent and the stories are very enjoyable.
