I honestly just love reading about more adventures with the Doctor! It's fun to see him with a new companion and in all sorts of situations, and I say this even having started with the fourth volume

It was amazing! Loved both the stories and the art. Can't believe that cliffhanger and I need to know more.

Después de un año ya había ganas de un nuevo cómic de Doctor Who. Y más con la que se está montando con el 60 aniversario, que promete ser algo muy épico y muy fuerte ( Russell T. Davies de vuelta como show runner, disfrutando de su momento como ya lo tuvo Moffat con el 50 aniversario. Las ganas que tengo de volver a ver a David Tennant y a Catherine Tate son demasiado reales 💙).
Nos encontramos ante la segunda temporada de los cómics del siempre carismático Decimon Doctor que aparecen en el mercado español. Acompañado, como ya vimos en anteriores entregas, por Gabriela González, las cuatro historias que conforman este tomo tienen relación directa con el volumen que este par protagonizó anteriormente, “Las Fuentes de la Eternidad”. Han pasado ya más de dos años desde que leí este cómic, y esto me ha pasado factura, ya que no recuerdo cómo eran estas historias, y tan solo me acuerdo de forma muy marginal de algunos de los personajes que aparecieron en ella y que en esta ocasión también tiene su aparición. Me temo que quizás esta circunstancia haya hecho que no haya disfrutado tanto del presente cómic, lo cual es una pena. Mi gran queja en las anteriores entregas que el sello Fandogamia sacó sobre el Decimo Doctor es que creo que la personalidad de este quedaba muy diluida de lo que veíamos en la serie de televisión. Pero en la canción sin fin, me ha parecido que su personalidad tal y como la vimos en tv ha quedado muy bien reflejada. Por su parte, aunque Gabby sigue sin emocionarme especialmente, me ha dejado muy bien sabor de boca, en el sentido de que es un acompañante muy entrañable y con grandes dosis de encanto. Eso sí, sigo prefiriendo con mucho a Alice, la mujer que acompañó al Undécimo Doctor en los cómics que este personaje ha protagonizado en español.
Es la primera historia, el doctor y Gaby aparece en un mundo con una sociedad muy interesante, con un mercado basado en el intercambio de aire purificado con otros mundos y criaturas musicales. El contexto social de este mundo y el arte de esta historia me han encantado, no así la trama general de la misma. No me ha desagradado para nada, de hecho creo que ha sido la que más me ha gustado de todo el tomo. Pero tampoco me ha aportado nada que no haya visto ya en la serie, ya sea en formato serie o sobre el papel.
La segunda historia es la que más bebe directamente del tomo anterior, apareciendo en ellas varios personajes que hicieron su aparición en el mismo, incluyendo a Cindy, la mejor amiga de Gabby. Me ha parecido una de las historias más interesantes, en el sentido de que deja todo abierto de cara a volúmenes siguientes. Pero sin duda lo más interesante de este capitulo es también lo más sensacional de todo el tomo, con la aparición de un personaje que no me esperaba para nada poder volver a ver entre las páginas de este cómic. No sé de qué manera lo hará, pero no tengo ninguna duda de que el capitán Jack Harkness hay llegado a los cómics para montar la miel montada, como solo él sabe hacer. Como el 90 % de los fans de la serie soy fan de este personaje, volverlo a ver en un especial fue una gran alegría para mí. Y en esta ocasión no puedo esperar a ver su reencuentro con el doctor y lo que vas a hacer en las siguientes historias.
Unas historias que queda muy abiertas con todo lo que pasa en los dos últimos capítulos del Tom. El doctor y Gabby llegan a la tierra de los habitada por los niños del nerd dentales. De la mano de un chamán y contador de historias, el doctor y su acompañante se enfrentará a una raza que captura a las gentes prehistoricas, en pos de un oscuro y siniestro propósito. El cual me ha recordado mucho a cciertas saga juvenil que lo cupo hace unos años, y que personalmente recuerdo con mucho cariño y no digo más porque podría resultar spoiler para aquellos que quieran adentrarse en esta historia.
Con excepción de “Los Ángeles Llorosos de Mons”, Éste probablemente haya sido mi cómic favorito de los que leído del doctor encarnado en su momento por David Tennant. Hay acción a raudales, y el diseño de los personajes y del dibujo me ha parecido muy variado y muy conseguido. Y creo que todo va a mejorar mucho más en las siguientes ediciones que tengamos. De todas formas, me falta algo para lograr emocionarme por las aventuras del Décimo. Y más después de haber leído las del Undécimo, que me encantaron y me encandilaron totalmente.
Como siempre eterno a Fandogamia por traernos al español las aventuras del Señor del Tiempo que viaja a través del tiempo y del espacio en una cabina azul. Como siempre, su trabajo editorial es simplemente soberbio.

Enjoyable graphic novel featuring the Tenth Doctor ( David Tennant)
June 10, 2024
El meu error ha estat no seguir la cronologia dels números. Hauria estat bé posar l'ordre dels volums a l'exterior, ben visible, per evitar llegir primer el final de les històries...
A part d'això, m'ha semblat avorridot. L'element fantàstic està massa inflat pel meu gust i el ritme narratiu és mooooolt lent, amb tendència a repetir conceptes cada poques pàgines.
Se m'ha fet llarg. I el pitjor ha estat que tot el misteri se n'ha anat a la merda perquè ja m'havia llegit la resolució en el següent número.

A planet of sentient music, a quick check-in with Cindy, and a trip to see some cavemen that turns nasty fill out this fourth volume of the Tenth Doctor's Titan adventures.
This was much, much better than the last volume. For starters, it's broken into three stories rather than one long one, and for another, it seems that Nick Abadzis has finally decided not to shove every character's mouth full of dialogue.
The opening two-parter on the sentient music planet is exactly the kind of Doctor Who story I'd expect to see in the show; the Doctor and Gabby turn up, everything goes wrong, and the pair of them save the day from two sides. It's a clever concept, the resolution makes sense (even if the 'villain' of the piece is never really explained) and the side-characters have a role to play rather than just being exposition machines.
The one-and-done that follows Cindy directly after the previous volume actually corrects a lot of what I hated about that volume; it acknowledges one of the queer relationships it heavily implied but didn't confirm, and it made me care about Cleo and Erik. There's still a lot more going on with this plot that we don't get to see thanks to the cliffhanger ending, but it almost redeems the previous volume which I didn't think was possible.
And then the final two issues are decent enough too, with the Doctor and Gabby trying to see some cavemen and running into (yet another) band of slavers. While some parts of this story come out of left field, like the Starjammer-esque team of heroes that turn up a few pages from the end of the story, I really enjoyed its interpretation of the TARDIS' telepathic circuits and how they'd interact with early languages, and the cliffhanger ending actually has me excited to read the next volume which I've not felt since reading the Ninth Doctor's stories.
The artwork doesn't really need much commenting on - Elena Casagrande, Eleanora Carlini, and Leonardo Romero return from the last volume, but the divide between the three is a bit clearer than before; Casagrande takes the first two issues, Carlini does the one-and-done, and Romero has the following two, so at least they aren't playing mix-and-match mid-issue anymore.
The Tenth Doctor's adventures creep back up in my estimations. This creative team still isn't my favourite, but this is a definitely improvement on their past efforts in volumes 1 and 3.

Doctor Who es una de mis series favoritas. Y aunque los cómics no me apasionen tanto como la serie en sí, siempre necesito más Doctor Who y agradezco mucho tener la oportunidad de explorar más al personajes en este formato. Además, todo es canónico porque en inglés los publica la BBC, dueña de la serie.
Este cuarto volumen se divide en tres historias que, no obstante, tienen cierta continuidad con el tercer volumen, que habría estado bien releer ni que fuera por encima antes de ponerme con este porque admito que hay detalles que se me han olvidado y me ha costado seguir algunas partes.
La primera historia me parece la más fiel al espíritu de la serie, tanto por la estructura como por la trama y los valores que transmite. La he disfrutado bastante a pesar de que nos presenta la historia de una pandemia y yo solo quiero huir de ese concepto todo lo posible. Qué se le va a hacer. Nos habla de unos seres musicales a quien alguien está atacando. Debo confesar que no he acabado de entender la resolución del problema, pero me parece que mejora en cuanto a historias anteriores en el sentido de que ya no hay tanto texto excesivo con conceptos supercomplicados como pasaba en volúmenes previos.
La segunda historia, la que involucra a Cindy es la más conectada con el tercer cómic del Décimo Doctor. Es breve y cargada de acción, con un cameo final que espero que implique que cierto personaje va a aparecer bastante más en algún cómic.
La tercera historia cierra una parte de la trama pero también hay otra que queda sin cerrar y nos deja con un cliffhanger bastante interesante que asumo que tendrá que resolverse en el siguiente volumen.
Creo que por fin estoy aprendiendo a apreciar más a Gabby como companion, aunque sigue sin llegar al nivel de cariño que siento por muchos de los companions de la serie televisiva.

So far this is my least favorite Tenth Doctor graphic novel. It had its moments, but I wasn't a fan of each story in the volume but I would say that the first part was the best.

The fourth volume in Titan Comics collection of their Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) collection of Doctor Who comics starts the second year of the series. This collection includes two stories. In the first, the Doctor and Gabby arrive at one of the most beautiful planets in the universe, where the native intelligent species, the local animals, and the human colonists live in harmony. However, soon after the Doctor and Gabby arrive they discover something is wrong - the Santee - living music - are dying from a mysterious illness, and without them the Bovodrines the lungs of the world will die, and without oxygen the humans will also die. The Doctor and Gabby work with a female scientist who has been studying the Santee until she's injured to discover the source of the outbreak and reverse the effects.
In the second story, Gabby and the Doctor land on pre-historic Earth, where they help a Neanderthal shaman fight off alien slavers who are taking the various clans that live there.
In between we have Gabby's sketchbook, notes, and letters sent in a book to her friend Cindy.
The Endless Song has beautiful art, and both stories are very good. I liked how the Shaman in the second story was written, with his own form of intelligence and his local knowledge. And the first story was a very unique Science Fiction story and well told. This is another excellent volume in Titan Comics Doctor Who series. I recommend it. If you haven't read any of the previous volumes it's also a good place to start, as it doesn't pick up on any previous stories but starts a new series of adventures for the Doctor and Gabby Gonzalez.

The Doctor and Gabby help an musical society not go extinct, Gabby's friend Cindy fights off an alien wanting to wipe out the Doctor and Gabby and the Doctor end up in the stone age fighting aliens.

The Endless Song (#2.1-2.2). An adventure that's interesting mainly for its inclusion of "conceptual" creatures made out of sound who appear as songs. They're a fun idea, well-represented. There's also some good storytelling in the story which gives it a sense of menace due to a great framing sequence. Other than that it's a pretty standard adventure [3+/5].
Interlude (#2.3). A cool interlude revealing what's going on with people on Earth, giving some depth to the 10th Doctor's adventures (even if I'm not entirely sure what's going on) [4/5].
Stone Age (#2.4-2.5). This short story has a great intro, as Gabby learns to interact with a caveman. The story slows down in its second part, but then has some great twists. The only problem is the very annoying non-ending at the end point. Thanks. [3+/5]

"The Singer, Not the Song" really doesn't work well in comic book form. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to imagine the music when I read the lyrics. Perhaps it would've worked as a Big Finish Audio. "Cindy, Cleo and the Magic Sketchbook" was a good read, though. I didn't mind the sketchbook entries and am glad to see that Cindy is gonna get more involved in the plot. There was also a familiar character whom I was surprised to see. I'm not sure if it's a good thing, but I am curious about what he could bring to the arc. "Medicine Man" was a weird one to read right after that one, though. I think this is my least favorite volume in the series so far, but there is a bit of promise of bigger things happening in the future.
Read
September 25, 2016Nothing to do with River, instead referring to a planet whose floating cities host a happy symbiosis between human colonists and living music...at least until the Doctor and Gabby turn up. Alas, both that and the story with creatures reminiscent of Reich's bad UFOs dicking around with the dawn of man are deformed by too much arc material, and the issue separating the two barely works as a story at all, so busily is it moving pieces around for the long game. Increasingly I fear the Titan comics have lost sight of the joys of a nice done-in-one (or two, or whatever), self-sufficient Who adventure.

This volume was certainly a step in the right direction. Lots of fun, fast-paced and the Doctor sounded like the Doctor. Gabby is an interesting companion and the longer she's around the more I'm liking her. I loved seeing Captain Jack in his little cameo and am certain this is just a tease for a much bigger appearance in the works. I might have even gone with four-stars, but the cliffhanger left me very frustrated.

Temmuz ayında bir fırtınayla başlayıp üç cildini(on beş sayıya tekabül ediyor bu.) bitirdiğim 10.Doktor'un maceralarını anlatan Doctor Who çizgi romanlarına, serinin ikinci yılına özel düzenlenen 4.cildiyle devam ettim. Yine beş sayıdan oluşan bu ciltte birbirinden farklı üç hikaye vardı ve bu sayıların içerisindeki çok da detaylı olmayan hikayeleri okuduk. Serinin ikinci yılı olarak çıkan bu sayılar belki de ısınma turu amacıyla yapılmıştı bilemiyorum ama Doktor ve yoldaşı Gabby ile devam eden birkaç maceraya daha adım attık iyi ya da kötü.
Bu dördüncü cildi oluşturan beş sayının ilk ikisinde Doktorumuz ve yol arkadaşı Gabby, gaz bulutlarıyla kaplı bir müzik evrenine gidip burada biraz geziye çıkmak istiyorlar. Belayı mıknatıs gibi çeken ikili, tabii ki de yaptıkları bu gezide bir şeylerin ters gittiğini anlıyor ve buradaki Shan'tee adı verilen ırkı tehdit eden, Nocturne adı verilen farklı bir kötücül gaz bulutuyla karşılaşıyor. Cildin üçüncü sayısında ise tek sayılık bir hikayeye bakıyoruz. Fakat bu hikaye devam edeceğe benziyor. Gabby, Doktor ile yaptıkları yolculukları çiziyor ve yakın arkadaşı Cindy'ye bu eskizlerini bırakıyor. Cindy bir gün bunları okurken defterde gelecekten gelen bazı bilgileri görüyor ve bunu fark ettiği anda peşine Ebonite denen bir hırsız düşüyor. Burada devreye eskilerden tanıdığımız dostlar da giriyor tabii ki ama öykü devam edecek şekilde bir anda bitiyor. Son olarak dördüncü ve beşinci sayılarda Doktor ve Gabby'yi tarih öncesi çağların birinde buluyoruz. Kendisini "Tıp Adamı" olarak tanıtan doktor, buradaki halkın klanlarından yavaş yavaş birilerinin kaçırıldığını görüyor ve bu ilk çağ insanlarının tabiriyle, bu kaçıran kişiler Gök İnsanları. Yani uzaylılar. Monaxi denen bir uzaylı yüzünden esir kalan insanları kurtarmaya çalışan ikilimiz, yine baş düşmanın geri dönecek mesajıyla maceralarını noktalıyor.
Açıkçası yeni seneye başlayan bu cildi ben pek beğenmedim. Hikayeler çok ilgimi çekmedi, üç hikaye de birbirinden sıkıcıydı benim için. Son hikayeden beklentim biraz yüksekti ama önceki ciltlerin tekrarı gibi olmuştu hepsi ve kurgu anlamında biraz sönüktü üç hikaye de. Yeni yılına sönük başladığını düşünüyorum doktorun maceralarının. Önceki üç ciltteki hikayelere göre gözle görülebilir bir düşüş vardı hikayelerde de olay akışlarında da. Çizimler de diğerlerine göre biraz aşağıda kalıyordu açıkçası. Bu anlamda bu cilt için çok da olumlu konuşamıyorum maalesef.
Yine de maceranın devam etmesi ve onuncu doktoru görmemiz sevindiriciydi. Umarım beşinci cilt bu ciltten çok daha iyi olur ama buradaki yarım kalan şeyler orada tamamlanacak gibi durduğu için muhtemelen o cildi de pek sevmeyeceğim.

Who doesn't love some more of the 10th Doctor?
This volume begins Titan Comics second season of Doctor #10's adventures. I continue to enjoy Gabby as the Doctor's companion and I found it great to witness her awe at what the he shows her.
The first story was interesting, where the pair visit a planet, one of who's native inhabitants are beings composed of sound. I wish this story would have been made into an episode, as sound does not always translate well into written word. The plot was intriguing, but I also felt that it drug a bit and I was happy for it to end when it did.
The second tale revolves around Gabby's friend Cindy, who is reading Gabby's journal. The journal reading parts I found a bit boring. The return of several previous characters being a bit of excitement, but even with a welcomed and surprised cameo at the end, this story fell pretty flat to me.
The last story was my favorite of the collection, featuring the Doctor and Gabby's trip to prehistoric Earth where they encounter a highly skilled Neanderthal medicine man who has stumbled into a plot by malicious aliens. A bit of Time Lord history is used to draw great parallels between the evolution of the Gallifreyan species and that of Neanderthals and Cro-magnon peoples. Not a fan of leaving a cliffhanger in a graphic novel collection, but I guess the publishers want to make sure readers come back for more.
A decent collection of the Doctor's exploits, but not my most favorite thus far of Titan's 10th Doctor's collection. Edging towards a 3.5, but just falling short, this is still a great read for Whovians and those who are fans of sci-fi and graphic novels. You can always check it out at the library like I did. :-)
This volume begins Titan Comics second season of Doctor #10's adventures. I continue to enjoy Gabby as the Doctor's companion and I found it great to witness her awe at what the he shows her.

A step back in the right direction. This collection is three stories -- the first is two issues, the second is one singular issue, and the final story is two issues -- and I like that better than having a collection of 5 issues be one on-going story because those just feel way too long.
The Doctor looks good in this collection. I feel like Gabby's look has changed here at the beginning of season 2 and I don't really know why. She's gone from looking like a girl in her early 20s to a woman in his mid-30s, seemingly overnight, and I don't quite get why. But I don't really mind it, per se.
I really liked the first story of this collection in particular. I feel like it's the one that works best in a comic medium, and it also subverted expectations the best.
The second story focuses on Cindy, who I don't care as much about as a character, but it did also bring us Captain Jack Harkness at the end, so I did love that. We also got a Vislor Turlough shoutout, and I love it when my less talked about Classic!Who companions get shown some love, even if it probably went over most New!Who readers' heads.
The final story I didn't remember all of a week later when I went to write this review and had to look up what the plot line had been. I did enjoy the caveman characters, but I don't remember what else happened. Looking forward to seeing where it goes in the next installment though.

The Doctor and his companion Gabby Gonzales go on adventures in this graphic novel. They start on a distant planet that has been invaded by an alien virus, and end up traveling to the past where they have to fight alien creatures with Neanderthals.
I’ve missed watching Doctor Who, since there haven’t been new episodes in months, so I decided to read some of the graphic novels. I’ve enjoyed the graphic novels in the past, but this one was a little disappointing.
This graphic novel wasn’t as exciting as I expected, and the Doctor wasn’t even in many of the scenes. There was a comic in the middle, which was about completely different characters and didn’t seem to have anything to do with the Doctor until the end. I was expecting more exciting stories about the Tenth Doctor.
Unfortunately, this graphic novel was a little disappointing.

Der Band enthält drei sehr unterschiedliche Geschichten. Zunächst sind der zehnte Doctor und Gabby auf einem Planeten, auf dem Musik eine große Rolle spielt, aber auch zu einer großen Gefahr wird. Danach hat Gabbys Freundin Cindy eine unheimliche Begegnung, die in engem Zusammenhang mit dem vorherigen Band steht, und trifft auf einen alten Bekannten aus dem Doctor-Who-Universum, und in der letzte Geschichte lernt man einen besonderen Urzeitmenschen kennen.
Die Geschichten haben interessante Themen und vor allem die erste ist sehr phantasievoll, konnten mich aber, bis auf die dritte, nicht ganz so fesseln wie viele andere. Die dritte Geschichte bringt einen liebenswerten Co-Charakter mit, der sie besonders macht.
Dieser Band ist nicht mein Lieblingsband, jedoch punktet auch er mit viel Phantasie und interessanten Charakteren.

this pulls together three very different stories, of which the first story is the best: the Doctor and comics-only companion Gabby end up on a world where some of th inhabitants are intelligent forms of music, a concept that is difficult to portray in any medium, but done very well here. There’s also a New York vignette with Jack Harkness, and an interesting aliens-at-the-dawn-of-time story which has a pretty overt anti-colonialist theme.

Qué tan bueno tiene que ser un run para que, aún en el cuarto volumen, siga sintiendo fresco y con una narrativa interesante? Nick hace magia con el décimo doctor!!
Primero viajamos a otro planeta, dónde lidiamos con una infección sónica sumamente interesante; pasando por un relato individual de Cindy, la mejor amiga de Gabby, que va adquiriendo cada vez más protagonismo, soltando en el camino varios elementos serializados; finalmente, tenemos una aventura gigantesca en el período de los neandertales que solo te hace desear más y más.
Todo en esta serie simplemente grita calidad y no me es posible no aferrarme a sus páginas sino hasta el final. Simplemente magnífico!!

Stories about the 10th Doctor: David Tennant, with companion Gabby Gonzales.
2.1 The Endless Song: An offbeat musical invasion of the planet Wupatki. The Shan’tee are very cool.

2.4-2.5 The Doctor and Gabby go back in Earth’s prehistory to help the shaman Munmeth save his people from space invaders and get involved with a resistance group. (To be continued).

January 20, 2025While none of these collections I have ever read, including these three, have ever been favorites, I want to continue reading them and diving back into the Doctor Who universe. The collections (1st and 3rd above) that work the best for me are the ones that read far more like an episode of the show rather than as a comic book installment, especially, for example, the whole weird aliens masking as Egyptian gods in the 11th doctor collections.

The first two stories here weren't that great, but the third story more than made up for them. I am really attached to Munmeth and may riot if something bad happens to him. Gah, can I really wait for the next volume to become available at the library? Side note - I've had to read these Titan comics both digitally and physically, because whoever did the ordering at the library didn't realise that year two volume one is different from year one volume one!

The first half of this book was the stronger story with the whole sound-based problem affecting creations of concept -that was a lot of fun. The interlude issue with Cindy was quite the tease but a welcome return for a familiar face. The last arc in the past had a lot of intended nobility in its tone but it also felt a little flat for one reason or another.

The Doctor helps some aliens who are made of sound. A neat idea and the best of the stories in this volume. There's an interlude on Earth that only makes sense in context with the previous volumes. The last volume has to do with cavemen and I thought it was a dud. The art is solid enough, with three artists who have all done work at the big two.

🎶 Este nuevo tomo de las aventuras de mi querido décimo Doctor está compuesto por 3 historias breves.
🎶 Gabby sigue siendo la acompañante del Doctor en estos nuevos viajes por el tiempo y el espacio.
🎶 En una de las historias no aparecen el Doctor y Gabby directamente, los protagonistas son personajes que han aparecido anteriormente en los comics, y hace una aparición estelar un personaje muy querido de la serie.
🎶 Vamos a descubrir nuevas especies en cada viaje, algunas feroces y malvadas, y otras adorables e inofensivas.
🎶 El final no deja una historia terminada, si no que en vez de "Fin", la última palabra es "Continuará", asi que habrá que seguir con el siguiente tomo para ver el desenlace de esa aventura.

Two solid Tenth Doctor stories, bookending a side story presumably meant to set up further adventures. The second, set in the age of neanderthals, is slightly more together and novel, but both have some neat ideas. (B+)
