Revolutions of Terror
If there is one good thing about publishing a licensed title, it is that 99% of the people who buy the title are probably already fans, which means that origins and intros can be bypassed and we can jump straight into the story.
Or the first part of the story.
In fact, this first issue barely deals with the Doctor at all. Oh, he is in there, but only just because it is his title after all. Most of the time is spent introducing us to Clarrisa and her family, and the odd things that seem to be happening lately.
Things like washing machines going amok, grandmothers seeing their dead husband and giant creatures attacking Clarissa on the subway. Cue the Doctor.
So much time is spent setting up Clarrisa, that I wonder if she is going to be the Doctor’s new companion in this series.
As for the story . . . Well, like many of the stories in the Doctor’s new run, we have no idea what is going on in the first act, but the way it ends gives the promise of a second act that will include a lot of running.
The Art! The Tenth Doctor actually looks like David Tenant! That is awesome. It also seems to be a novel idea now days. Draw a character in a comic based on a TV or FILM and make the character look like his actor counterpart. It makes this feel even more like Doctor Who.
Overall, this #1 is a solid start, but we’ll have to see where the story goes from here.
Rating: 6
