WHAT
-Revolutions of Terror
The Doctor is still regreting having involved in his time-travelling adventures to Donna Noble, and he left her behind for her own good, and due that he isn’t eager to find another companion any soon.
But time and fate have other ideas...
It’s New York City. It’s a melting pot, Baby. Adapt and survive.
Something odd and quite scary is happening in Brooklyn and yes, it’s Halloween, but not only that because it’s also El Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a Mexican celebration.
Meet: Gabby Gonzalez
When I read the Free Comic Book Day’s Doctor Who issue, I found quite attractive the idea of this companion, Gabby Gonzalez, for several reasons, she is smart, brave, resourceful, curious, but also she is of Latin-American heritage (Mexico to be precised), she is studying Accounting at nights, and part of my paternal family is Gonzalez...
…what else can I ask???!
Gabriella “Gabby” Gonzalez rules!!!
Also, the artwork looks really attractive, and the wrinting was witty and funnny.
On that comic book issue there were ads for the TPBs of each Doctor published by Titan Comics, so when I catched this TPB on my local comic book store I didn’t think it twice.
I am glad of my decision, since this was indeed an awesome reading!
And I am shocked (in a positive way) of how much storyline the creative team is able to put in just 3 issues (the main story) and later on 2 issues (the following story) giving an appropiate closure on each tale, since other titles from other publishing houses (nowadays) aren’t able to fill in such rich and satisfactory way a decent storyline in 6 issues or more, for not mentioning a sense of closure.
Definitely Titan Comics is doing a great job managing the Tenth Doctor adventures with this creative team.
If I have to give some minor critiques, maybe I have to mention a couple of bad spelling Spanish words (if you are using Mexican characters, there should be more careful in that) and it was laughable when Gabby’s Accounting classes are displayed since it’s obvious that the creative team hasn’t a clue about Accounting beyond of very basic terms (if they choose that night school career, it wouldn’t hurt to make some stronger research about it). But, don’t get me wrong, it’s just me being fussy, since I am positively amazed of how good and entertaining, this TBP was.
Different times, a different generation… They have different mountains to climb.
Gabby has troubles with her family, but nothing that she can’t handle, but it’s good to see how rich and full of potential, Gabby’s family affairs are, to give her a deeper characterization. And while it became normal on the “New Series” era begining with Rose Tyler, actually I think that this concept of giving more depth to the companions’ personal relationships and family really began with Ace, at the ending phase of the “Classic Series” era, establishing that i’ts indeed impossible to the companions to leave totally behind their backstory while they are travelling on the TARDIS.
Gabby’s family is Mexican, but they are living in Brooklyn and they are doing their best to make a living with several business (A restaurant, a laundro-mat).
Their neighborhood is as normal as a Brooklyn’s neighborhood can be, but the apparitions of monsters certainly can give the spooks to more than one person there.
Hello, I’m the Doctor. Can I help? I usually can. I’m gifted that way.
So, it’s no wonder that that Doctor appears there to investigate.
Some elements on the story reminded me Ghostbusters II, but in a good way (hehe) and I am sure that the creative team was aware of that since they didn’t hesitate to make some dialogues referring to those films to avoid some unfair critique to their own approach.
And talking about that, it’s weird how almost anything on Doctor Who has a scientific explanation (some are quite far-fetched, but still in the boundaries of science or science-fiction). I am babbling about it since it’s curious how usually the writers on this franchise avoid to insert paranormal elements ore ven magic. I know that Doctor Who is pleny enough open to possibilities in storytelling, but again, it seems that since he is an alien so advanced, nothing is beyond of having eventually a scientific justification.
But definitely, the science-fiction presented in this story is wonderful and crafty.
Monsters and scary stuff is loose on Brooklyn and the Doctor will need the assistance of Gabby Gonzalez to investigate about it and to find a way to stop it.
WHO do you gonna call? Hehehe.
-The Arts in Space
The Doctor takes Gabby to the Ouloumos planet where there is one of the largest and best Art Gallery in the universe.
While Gabby is studying Accounting due wishes of his dad, her real insterest is on arts.
Admit it! You’re a critic!
Whaaaat? ... I’m no critic – They all wear bow-ties
The artwork in the whole TPB is really good, but in this second story, the artist released her best making a wonderful tale between a “letter” that Gabby is writing to her best friend along with the action of the story. And even you can catch some priceless details in you look carefully to the paintings.
The Doctor wants to introduce Gabby to some old friend of his, a popular artista, Zhe, but that it seems that she has been reclusive during a lot of time. Before being able to reach Zhe, they will meet her apprentice and the troubles will began...
I was busy experiencing separation anxiety. That happens a lot around the Doctor...
I enjoyed a lot this TPB, and if you like the Tenth Doctor and you want to meet a new companion of his, I am sure that you will enjoy this reading too.

Very cool! I'm going tho have to read more of these Tenth Doctor comics. I have to admit it, the cover art initially drew me to them, but the author does a great job of channeling the Doctor's tone and style. Plus, Gabby is a pretty good companion. It could have been cool to see a live action iteration of her character on screen.

This was a disappointment.
The first story introduces us to the new companion, Gabby. She lives in present day Brooklyn, is young, and has Mexican roots. Her family owns a restaurant and a laundry mat, and her father is pressuring her to carry on the family businesses, but Gabby has a passion for art. Gee, I've never heard this before. A Mexican father who is controlling and set in his ways...a young girl who loves art but is being forced to pursue business...
To make matters worse the featured alien species feeds off human emotion. Not only have we seen this in other Doctor Who stories...
But it is very similar to the first issue of the new Eleventh Doctor Comic that came out at the exact same time!
The second story was worse. The plot was slightly more interesting- a look at futurist art- but artwork coming to life isn't anything new.
However, the real problem with this story is that for some unknown reason, it is told through Gabby's journal (sort of). If you are going to do the whole past tense, first person journal perspective, you have to stick with it. You can't show us scenes that do not contain Gabby for starters (there is a lame sentence thrown in along the lines of well at least that's what the doctor told me. It just didn't work. It was confusing, inconsistent, and difficult to read. Plus, instead of developing the character (I assume that was the purpose) it diluted her. She lost some of the personality she gained in the first story. In fact, I felt like they weren't even the same person.
On top of all that, the normally charismatic Tenth Doctor was never given the chance to shine.
The author really seemed to be phoning it in on this one.

Mmmmm it was ok. As a huge Doctor Who fan, i expected something a little bit better. Its not bad though, there are some good moments with the 10th Doctor which reminds you something of the show
November 10, 2022
Fans of the long-running BBC TV show “Doctor Who” (affectionately calling themselves Whovians) like to have fake debates as to who is the best actor to play the Doctor in recent years. It’s a fake debate because 1) Whovians love every actor that has played the Doctor and they just “pretend” to think that Matt Smith was the worst or that Peter Capaldi was the meanest or that Jodie Whittaker was the least male, and 2) Every Whovian knows that David Tennant was the best Doctor.
Just kidding. I’ve loved them all, and I say that as a die-hard fan who, at age 8, discovered “Doctor Who” (the Tom Baker generation) on a Saturday night on PBS. Been a life-long fan ever since. Love that “timey-wimey” sci-fi stuff.
I remember when Marvel Comics published a Doctor Who series in 1984, and I’m pretty sure I scooped them all up.
Doctor Who and comic books seem like the perfect combo, but strangely enough, I haven’t read some of the recent BBC/Titan Comics iterations. That changed with me picking up “Revolutions of Terror”, written by Nick Abadzis and drawn by Elena Casagrande.
It’s a David Tennant run (yay!), and it apparently takes place during a companion-less period in the Doctor’s life, post-Donna Noble and pre-Martha Jones.
The Doctor arrives in New York City, present-day, where washing machines in a laundromat have opened a gateway to another planet, unleashing invisible creatures that feed on human’s fears. Of course.
A struggling art student named Gabrielle meets the Doctor and, together, they save the world. Of course.
I won’t go in to detail. Honestly, if you’re not a Whovian, none of this will be interesting to you anyway. If you are a Whovian, you’ve probably already read this, so what’s the point, really?
Allohns zee!

Lo he disfrutado muchísimo!! Las dos historias que componen este cómic son fantásticas, ha sido como ver dos capítulos de la serie. Ahora toca esperar al siguiente volumen que si no me equivoco llega en septiembre.
November 8, 2021
This had way too much science in it to make for an interesting story plus the artwork wasn’t very good. I liked Gabriella as the MC and the aliens were pretty ugly feeding off people’s fears and using their bodies as hosts. I won’t be continuing the series.
May 20, 2018
Muy bien! No tenía muchas expectativas más allá de que había ojeado el cómic y me gustaba la ilustración, pero es que es como ver dos capítulos del décimo doctor. Buenas historias y Gabby es un personaje interesante. A la espera de más!
June 9, 2020
Quizá me adentré en este cómic con unas expectativas muy elevadas, puesto que el primero del Undécimo Doctor me encantó y creía que este sería igual. No lo ha sido del todo, pero aun así he podido disfrutarlo.
—No eres un artista. ¡Admítelo! ¡Eres un crítico!
—¿Que quéee? No soy un crítico, los críticos llevan pajarita. Que no es mal look, ahora que lo pienso... (Eleventh intesifies)
Este cómic de Doctor Who está dividido en dos historias cortas en las que el Doctor estará acompañado de Gabby, una nueva acompañante exclusiva de los cómics, puesto que temporalmente se sitúa después de que el Doctor haya tenido que dejar a Donna Noble atrás.
Gabby es una buena acompañante, quizás un pelín estereotípica (la hija que trabaja en el negocio de los padres pero que en realidad lo que le gusta es el arte y quiere ver mundo), pero aun así ella y el Doctor forman un buen dúo. De hecho, la segunda de las historias se nos narra como si fuera el diario de Gabby, aunque atendiendo a esto quizás no deberían haber salido escenas en las que no aparece Gabby (aunque es cierto que indica que el Doctor le dijo que la cosa pasó así).
Pero creo que mi problema principal ha sido la complejidad de las explicaciones. No es la primera vez que sucede, puesto que en muchos capítulos de la serie me pierdo a veces en las explicaciones científico-técnicas de lo que está pasando, cómo funcionan los chismes que van a solucionar la situación, etc. Sin embargo, mientras que en la serie el capítulo sigue adelante y no tienes tiempo de pararte a reflexionar demasiado, en el caso de la lectura es diferente, porque me paraba y volvía a releer las partes que no había entendido, con lo cual la lectura no se me acababa de hacer fluida.
El dibujo me ha gustado bastante, tiene líneas relativamente estilizadas y es claro, no está sobrecargado de elementos. Eso sí, en términos de dibujo, lo que más me ha gustado han sido las páginas sacadas del diario de Gabby.
A pesar de los pequeños fallitos (subjetivos, claro está) tengo ganas de seguir leyendo los cómics del Décimo Doctor, puesto que la interpretación de David Tennant es mi segunda preferida, y estoy encantada con el potencial general que tienen estos cómics.

Ich kann mit dem Doctor einfach nicht warm werden. Seine Art nervt mich und ansprechend fand ich an diesem Comic die Nebencharaktere. Nicht meine Reihe, leider.
March 10, 2020
I thought the story for this was more imaginative and interesting than in Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor, Vol. 1: After Life. It uses longer multi-issue stories, which tends to work better for Doctor Who. It's not great but I have hope for its improvement.

Buen tomo, fiel a la época Tennant y con un buen apartado artístico (aunque dibujar sobre foto en el Doctor, o al menos que asumo que era eso, le hace a él un poco extraño). Lectura perfecta para el veranito muy muy entretenida.
Muchas gracias Thunnus.

En este volumen nos ponemos en la piel del décimo Doctor y Gabriella González en un par de historias completas. Como si de dos episodios televisivos se tratase. La primera aventura es una carta de presentación de la nueva companion. La Tardis ha aterrizado en un Nueva York actual, concretamente en Brooklyn, tras la pista de algo extraño. Allí el Doctor conocerá a la joven Gabriella, una latina americana que se enfrenta a un férreo control paterno y que sueña con poder estudiar Bellas Artes. Un extraño suceso en la lavandería de su padre será el detonante para que se vea enredada en un lio dimensional de tres pares de narices. Ritmo infernal, diálogos a toda pastilla y giros de guion para conferir un entretenido relato de ciencia ficción, con cierto toque de terror. Lo que no me acaba de agradar es el dibujo de Elena Casagrande, sin ser espectacular cuando debe serlo, aunque reconozco su fidelidad a los personajes y gestos.
La segunda, mi favorita, es una primera aventura como companion y Doctor. Aprovechando el formato cómic, Gabby a través de bocetos y su narración nos cuenta a través de sus ojos una historia deliciosamente artística y onírica de su primer viaje a otro planeta. Sin embargo, aquí si que Elena Casagrande despliega un arte que me enamora, que me mete de lleno en la historia y me hace querer más del personaje.
Esta claro que Doctor Who. Revoluciones de terror es un producto que cualquier whovian de pura cepa va a disfrutar en su máximo esplendor. En mi caso, solo habiendo visto parte de la primera temporada televisiva, me han quedado ganas de ponerme a ver la etapa de este décimo Doctor.

Reeling from the loss of Donna, the Doctor sets out on his own to solve an invasion from an extradimensional race of emotion-eaters. But along the way, he acquires the help of Gabby Gonzales, who will worm her way into his heart and his TARDIS before the adventure is over.
Both the stories here are decent enough; the empath monsters are clever, and has the usual Doctor Who twist of an additional level to the story that we hadn't realised to start with, and then the living art gallery is a totally sci-fi plotline. There's nothing wrong with them.
But the dialogue feels a bit excessive. I know the Tenth Doctor talks a lot, but Gabby barely ever shuts up, and it feels like both of them talk a lot without actually saying very much. I know we need to learn about Gabby quite quickly so we latch onto her as the new companion, but sometimes less is more.
The art's also not overly great. Elena Casagrande's work feels quite rushed and sketchy in places, with any panel not focusing on the Doctor or Gabby's faces turning everyone into blobs of colour with basic expressions. It's frustrating, because some panels can look wonderful, and others are just a mess.
Not a great start for the Tenth Doctor's solo adventures, but nothing that can't be ironed out. New companion Gabby has potential, and writer Nick Abdazis captures the Tenth Doctor's mindset in the wake of the Series 4 finale quite well. It's just a shame that an over-abundance of dialogue and some sketchy artwork drags it all down a bit.

But the dialogue feels a bit excessive. I know the Tenth Doctor talks a lot, but Gabby barely ever shuts up, and it feels like both of them talk a lot without actually saying very much. I know we need to learn about Gabby quite quickly so we latch onto her as the new companion, but sometimes less is more.
The art's also not overly great. Elena Casagrande's work feels quite rushed and sketchy in places, with any panel not focusing on the Doctor or Gabby's faces turning everyone into blobs of colour with basic expressions. It's frustrating, because some panels can look wonderful, and others are just a mess.
Not a great start for the Tenth Doctor's solo adventures, but nothing that can't be ironed out. New companion Gabby has potential, and writer Nick Abdazis captures the Tenth Doctor's mindset in the wake of the Series 4 finale quite well. It's just a shame that an over-abundance of dialogue and some sketchy artwork drags it all down a bit.

I loved, loved, loved, Gabby as a companion. I wish that they had give with her in the show rather than Clara (yes I know I'm jumping Doctors). Gabby had more depth and personality and I found her so much more interesting.
Gabby meets The Doctor when he is investigating a psychic terror plaguing her neighborhood. As a good companion Gabby helps the Doctor figure out what is going on and Dave Earth. And, again of course, he takes her to see wonders.
They did a perfect 10 on this GN. He's a bit loopy and weird and totally fun. In the second episode he gets distracted by math and almost misses what's going on, only to have a light bulb moment and rush in.
The colors were vibrant and the art fit the iconic Doctor. I particularly loved the sketches and letter that Gabby wrote interjected in between the two episodes.

This was my first graphic novel as an adult and I really enjoyed it. It had a similar feeling to the TV show. I'll be reading the rest of the series too.

Liked seeing a story starring the tenth doctor. Glad there is an American companion.

Gabby es una joven de origen mexicano que trabaja en el restaurante y en la lavandería, ambos regentados por su familia. Un día las lavadoras se encienden todas a la vez y sale un portal interdimensional. Poco después comienzan a aparecer unos seres incorpóreos extraterrestres que van poseyendo a los humanos. Un hombre, al que se hace llamar Doctor, aparece y necesitará la ayuda de Gabby para acabar con esta invasión y que la Tierra no sea destruida.
Este cómic parte de la serie de la BBC. No es necesario conocer la serie (o eso creo) para poder leer el cómic. Además se entiende bastante bien sin tener conocimientos previos. Los protagonistas son Gabby o el Doctor. Gabby es de origen mexicano y es una joven inquieta, que quiere estudiar en la Universidad y vivir su vida, recorrer el mundo y ser libre. Su padre quiere atarla a los negocios familiares, pues teme perderla, por lo que el espíritu indómito y aventurero de Gabby se va marchitando. El Doctor, décima reencarnación, es un hombre de otro planeta que tiene una serie de habilidades. Además de tener telepatía (aunque no se explica bien) tiene conocimientos galácticos y una máquina, llamada Tardis.
La trama tiene un toque de terror psicológico, ya que estos seres extraterrestres potencian los miedos más profundos de los humanos. Al mismo tiempo cambia el mundo, quita la alegría y le da un aire pesimista y de desolación muy palpable. Pero no es la única trama, al final Gabrry viaja con Doctor a un planeta a conocer a la artista Zhe, ya que Gabby también quiere ser artista. Allí se tendrán que enfrentar a sus dos temibles y malévolos aprendices y averiguar qué le ha ocurrido a Zhe. Una trama llena de aliens, viajes espaciales y temporales, acción, misterio, terror y mucha velocidad.
En cuanto al apartado artístico, el estilo me ha recordado mucho a los típicos cómics americanos tipo Valiant o Marvel. Es un dibujo muy bien hecho, detallado, dinámico y, sobre todo, muy vivo. Sobre la edición, cuando acaba la historia principal encontramos la segunda aventura pero intercalándose unas notas de la propia Gabby como si fuera un diario personal, con dibujos, anotaciones y una tipografía de letras que representa escritura a mano. Con esto, vemos todo desde su propio punto de vista y nos hace saber que es un personaje que esconde mucho más de lo que a simple vista parece. Al mismo tiempo, tiene una serie de toques de humor, que le da más cercanía al volumen con el lector. Acaba el tomo con una galería de portadas y diseños.

So,
First of all, I love the Doctor! With every bit of him and I love The 10th Doctor. David Tennant was the worthy part of Doctor Who.
I liked here this two stories of him. I felt the emotions that I had at the first time I saw The Doctor with Rose Tyler. And this girl, Gabby is much better than Marta. The Autor knew the ways and art on Doctor Who and probably he is too e real Whovian.
I would like to read other volumes.

Pues me ha gustado, no tanto como el cómic de Doctor Who que leí antes “Los cuatro doctores”, pero no voy a negar que he disfrutado mucho este cómic. El dibujo me ha parecido muy dinámico y realista, el diseño de personajes me ha parecido bastante original ( el de Gabby, dentro de su sencillez, me ha gustado) y el guión bastante entretenido.
Eso si, de lejos me ha gustado mucho más la primera historia que la segunda. Me ha parecido digna de un episodio de la serie de televisión, y me mantuvo enganchadisima de principio a fin. En la segunda historia me pareció que los personajes de Gabby y , sobre todo, el Décimo ( mi Décimo) quedaron muy desdibujados. También me ha dado la impresión de que en todo el volumen, en general, la figura del Décimo no ha podido brillar correctamente, había veces que la propia historia y, sobre todo, el personaje de Gabby le eclipsaban.
No obstante he disfrutado mucho de estos relatos, y creo que cualquier amante de la serie también los disfrutara

Revolutions of Terror (1-3). A pretty meh start to the new Doctor Who. The new companion, Gabby, is an extremely generic nuWho Companion: independent girl with family issues. Yep, seen it before. The plot is also entirely generic, with baddies trying to do bad things for no reason and the Doctor stopping them. The only saving grace of this story is a tiny bit of time spent on the origins of the baddies. [4/10].
The Apprentice (4-5). Unfortunately the follow-up isn't much better. It's another boring plot, full of being chased by dangers. Worse, Gabby writes about it in a diary which is in an obnoxious cursive font that's occasionally unreadable without deep scrutiny. (A pity, as when she illustrates the diary, it's great.) The only saving grace of the adventure is hints at Gabby's future [4/10].

"There's always more to learn, Gabby, more to see. Realizing that is just the beginning of wisdom."
This was a well-timed library find, as a celebration of having recently rewatched the Tenth Doctor's regeneration. Set shortly after Donna's departure in 10's "I don't want to go" phase, this explores a period of the show's history rife with dramatic potential, which is explored here with the introduction of delightful American companion Gabrielle Gonzalez. Her family drama, if a bit trite, is a solid foundation for a long-term companion, and as much as 10 having one of those in this period doesn't match up with the show, Gabby is a fun enough character that I don't much mind.
At first, the Doctor doesn't quite read like 10, visually or in the dialogue, mostly in looking like a round-faced kid, and constantly looking different. That improves over time, especially the dialogue which comes to sound much more like the Tenth Doctor, and the story gets enough action that the facial inconsistencies are less distracting (or maybe I just got used to it).
The monsters are interesting, the twists are fun, the art is solid if not extraordinary. I was pulled right out by some depictions of The Master in a hoodie and Rassilon wielding a power glove that haven't happened yet at this point in the narrative. A small issue in the grand scheme, but a bit silly.
A fun debut of a series that I'll keep my eye out for more of, 6/10

Just like most people, the tenth doctor is one of my favorite doctors. So this was a fun story that continues shortly after Dona left. The doctor runs into Gabby Gonzalez and basically saves the earth once again from an attack from psychic aliens. She then joins the Doctor as his companion. The book ends with a cliff hanger then is showed pages from the ninth doctors book.

Great graphic novel volume 1 of Doctor Who!- The Tenth Doctor. This is my first time reading a graphic novel about the whoniverse.
I had a lot fun reading this book and it is that this time he has Hispanic/Latinx companion and I did not expect that. It works perfectly to celebrate my family Hispanic culture this month (September 2024).

3.5 The artistic style didn't really jell well with me I didn't like it at all. I did like the second book where the companion was drawing stuff. The story was okay, not all that interesting however. The only good thing though was the author seemed to capture Ten very well.
