Gaze of the Medusa
Part 1
Blind Servants. Cyclopes. Lady Emily Carstairs. A Victorian Era Want-to-be Time Traveler and daughter.
They are all the beginning of a new story starring Sarah Jayne! Oh and some guy who looks like Tom Baker . . . :-D
And what a beginning it is. It is part mystery, part adventure and includes a Victorian Era Professor who tries to explain time travel to the Doctor and a statue of what might actually be Sarah Jayne turned to stone.
This first issue feels old school, like the Fourth Doctor himself with his jellybeans. It feels like the first part of a four part Doctor Who adventure, like the original series use to do.
The best part is it feels like the Fourth Doctor. Tom Baker’s portrayal of the Doctor comes full force in the characterization in this issue.
Gaze of the Medusa Part 1 is a really good first start for the Fourth Doctor’s return to comics. Strong script, good story, proper characterization and excellent art make this a winner.
FINAL THOUGHT
Who fans rejoice.
RATING: 7
