The fact that Titan is simultaneously running four Doctor Who comics allows them to do something pretty unique: run a big crossover that fits neatly into the continuity of each of the Doctors. Which is exactly what happens in The Lost Dimension.Unfortunately, this also has the possibility of creating a crossover that's very scattered and unfocused. Though this volume starts off strongly in the Alpha #1, it quickly becomes quite disconnected as Nine, Ten, and Eleven all have entirely different ad...

The setup for this particular Doctor Who crossover felt a little messy with everyone running from a vague threat and a lot of gobbledygook beyond thrown about as dialog. To be fair, a lot of the story involves a lot of great nostalgia with old versions of classic villains like Cybermen and Silurians from the Classic era and not just their modern incarnations. But it's a lot of messy storytelling and lots of running and I think the writers got a little too excited throwing their respective ideas

This one is all over the place. Some chapter are pretty good, while others are down-right muddled and virtually incomprehensible (it almost seems that pages were randomly organised like the way Todd McFarlane used to put together issues of his series Spawn). Thankfully the latter was in the minority. Still ... hoping the second book is better.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! What did I just read? This had everything! Action! Adventure! Aliens! (Of course it must have aliens, it’s Doctor Who!), a handful of Doctors (yay!) and the return of a character we haven’t seen since Season 3 of New Who! (Can you tell I’m a Whovian yet?) And let’s not forget…“Companion: Now what have you done?The Doctor: Me? Nothing! Probably…ish.”This was Awesome! Fantastic! Brilliant! Molto Bene! Gosh, give me anything TARDIS blue and I turn into a squealing fangirl.

After reading some hard-hitting, difficult books, I was in need of a palate cleanser. This collector of Doctor Who comics were the right thing for me. Being a comic, it didn't take me long to read these 130 pages but the storyline was super fun and so many characters show up. Took me a couple days just so I could savor it all. Have a favorite doctor? Don't worry, they show up. Favorite companion? They just may be here too. I look forward to reading the conclusion in the second book!

First two issues were excellent. The rest was meh. 3/5 stars

Most of the time, Doctor Who comics/novels/audiobooks are just okay for me, but I actually really enjoyed this one. Somehow it's a much better multi-Doctor crossover than the 50th Anniversary crossover (Prisoners of Time, I'm talking about you. You disappointed me).It does suffer from some of the (proabably unavoidable) problems that comics deal with in general: it's hard to have a fleshed-out, well-developed plot when you've only got 24-32 pages to work with. The plot moves a little too quickly...

Three and a half stars. Maybe as a Doctor Who geek, I expect too much - maybe far too much than can be crammed into 128 short pages when I'm told thirteen iterations of the Doc are being brought together at once. As with any DW book, the science fiction element is deep, but not impenetrable; as other reviewers say, we bounce around quite a bit - this makes sense, too, since you can't just drop all of the Doctors into a single situation at once and not expect it to be barely readable chaos. I'll

I'd been thinking recently that it was a missed opportunity not having Jenny from "The Doctor's Daughter" reunite with The Doctor during the Capaldi era. Lo and behold, that happens here! And it's during series 10, when he has my favorite Twelfth Doctor companions! Interestingly, the release of this story predates the release of Big Finish's Jenny - The Doctor's Daughter by nearly a year, though I've listened to that and it takes place sometime prior to this. It was great seeing Jenny interact w...

All the doctors in one comic series??! Sign me up any day of the week, month and year!!

I review books that are fun for the whole family. Not every book I review is rated E for Everyone. But that doesn't mean that the books I review for families can't be enjoyed by all. Case in point is this book selection: Doctor Who: The Lost Dimension, Book One. This book from Titan Comics is based on the long-running British television show of the same name. When Doctor Who debuted in 1963, it was intended as an educational kids show. The formula for the show varied every other story between h

I initially wanted to read this to be able to see a multi-Doctor crossover, and I am getting that here. The problem? Doctor Who has its own comic line and this is a crossover for those iterations. The story is understandable, but some of the Doctors have different companions and that throws enough of a wrench in the story to make it more difficult for me to follow. I'm breaking my own rule: Reading a story in the middle of a series...The story revolves around the development and arrival of a "wh...

This review covers the entirety of The Lost Dimension event, since it's one big 8 part story and collecting it as 2 trades is just cheeky.Also cheeky, the fact that only three of the eight parts are actually relevant to the thing, and the rest border on nonsensical and irrelevant.The Lost Dimension centres on the idea of a white hole starting to eat all of time and space. This of course attracts the attention of the Doctor in his many incarnations, and they all set out to stop it. Sort of. The e...

The Lost Dimension is Titan Comics attempt to do a crossover story with all the Doctors both from the Classic Series and New Who. However, even at two volumes (second volume to be reviewed separately), it doesn't work as well as it should. The stories end up being more vignettes than a single, coherent story, and at times stories aren't even told in order, which is confusing - even after multiple reads. Jenny's story is particularly told backward: first, we see her trying to save Captain Jack an...

The first half of Titan's annual crossover event for 2017. This features mainly the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors combating a mysterious white void that threatens to envelop the entire universe. There's a lot like: the return of Jenny (from "The Doctor's Daughter"), Nine and Rose encountering Madame Vastra and Jenny on a ship in the South Pacific, the Eleventh Doctor visiting the Dark Times and becoming the "Other" (one of the founders of modern Gallifrey along with Rassilon and Ome...

This volume all largely feels like setup for whatever happens in Book Two, but it's a really fun setup. All three featured Doctors - Nine, Ten, and Eleven - are in fine form. (Twelve makes a lesser appearance, and seems a bit warmer than usual; I assume he gets more attention later.) Nine's story features a surprise future ally; Ten's is solid base-under-siege action; and Eleven gets the most unexpected story of the three... I'm not so sure about giving him such a central role in Whoniverse hist...

This book collects the first half of the Lost Dimension crossover. It collects the Alpha Issue of the Crossover, the Ninth Doctor Special, and Issues from the Tenth and Eleventh Doctor comics.The Alpha issue does a great job introducing the crossover. We meet the Doctor's daughter, Jenny, who returns and meets up with the Twelfth Doctor, meanwhile Captain Jack and the Ninth Doctor comic companion Tara are trapped in a precarious situation. The Ninth Doctor Issue has the Doctor and Rose encounter...

I've read this comic before I should have. Each doctors story followed on from their prior comics, so I didn't understand what was happening, particularly in Tennants story, as I haven't read them (yet).So I might revisit this once I have read the others. I was also hoping there would be communication between the regenerations, which I feel could happen next book, however this one showed their different stories that seem to be connecting to the same situation. I think there will be less confusio...
