Auch wenn ich erst mit dem 9. Doktor meine Doctor Who-Liebe begann, haben mich die Abenteuer mit der TARDIS einfach in ihren Bann gezogen. Als ich dann diese 2-teilige Reihe sah, war ich einfach nur fasziniert. Immerhin sollte ich hier nicht nur auf einen Doktor treffen, sondern gleich auf mehrere. Ja, war denn schon Weihnachten? Nicht ganz, denn auch wenn ich noch immer sehr von vom ersten Band der Reihe angetan bin, gab es auch ein kleines Hindernis.
Wer die Serie länger nicht geschaut hat oder sich nicht an vereinzelte Protagonisten erinnern konnte, der wurde nicht gleich in die Geschichte geführt, sondern konnte erst einmal sein Wissen auffrischen. Das fand ich wirklich super, da nicht einfach nur gesagt wurde, wer wer war, sondern auch, was seine Reinkarnation ausmachte. Dazu wurden dann noch Figuren wie Jenny oder River Song noch einmal beschrieben und natürlich was bisher passiert war.
Spätestens wenn man dies gelesen hatte, würde es eh keinen mehr halten, das Heft aufzuschlagen. Mit Recht, denn gleich zu Anfang geht schon ordentlich die Post ab. Natürlich verrate ich nichts weiter zu Handlung, aber ich möchte meiner Begeisterung trotzdem ein wenig freien Lauf lassen. Immerhin hatte ich die Möglichkeit innerhalb eines Heftes mehrere Doktoren und ihre verschiedene Charakterwesen zu erleben. Was aber gleich danach kam, waren die Abenteuer selbst, welche ich dabei erlebte. Hier wurde Spannung, Unterhaltung und viele Überraschungen geboten, die mir teilweise die Kinnlade herabfallen ließen.
Auch der Zeichenstil war einfach nur toll, da eigentlich alle Charaktere sehr gut zu erkennen waren. Hier gab es zwar auch ein paar Überraschungen, aber ansonsten blieb man den Figuren wirklich treu, was mir sehr gefiel. Mein kleines Problem, waren die technischen Bezeichnungen, für welche eigentlich jeder Doktor mehr als bekannt sein dürfte. Was in der Serie für mich ein Nebenprodukt seiner Genialität war, zermürbte mich hier regelrecht, da ich manchmal einfach nicht verstand was denn jetzt gemeint war. Egal ob technische Begriffe oder Dinge rund um Zeit und Raum, ich saß meist etwas verwirrt da. Hier hätte ich mir doch ein paar einfachere Ausführungen gewünscht.
Ansonsten war diese Reise durch Raum und Zeit mit den verschiedenen Doktoren ein wundervolles Ereignis, welches ich im 2. Band sehr gerne weiterverfolge.
Wer einmal ein Abenteuer mit nicht nur einem Doktor, sondern gleich mit 4en erleben möchte, der ist hier genau richtig. Tolle Charakterzeichnungen, interessante Besuche von Orten und natürlich eine spannende Handlung nahmen mich mit auf eine packende Reise. Ich hatte zwar ein paar Probleme mit den technischen Begriffen, aber dies tat meiner Freude zum Glück nur wenig Abbruch.

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.

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.

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, so it feels like everything is happening at once without a lot of explanation as to why. So it's not amazing, but it IS fun. I pretty much automatically like a DW story if it connects different eras of the show and obviously as a crossover event there's a lot of that here -- just about every doctor makes an appearance in some way (I'm assuming those that haven't will show up in part 2), and there are some fun, unexpected character pair-ups (slight spoiler, but Nine and the Paternoster Gang??? Hello????) Most importantly, though, there's a brief moment where Jenny (Doctor's daughter Jenny, not Paternoster Jenny) interacts with Five. She calls him dad and it's CUTE. Reading the whole arc doesn't take long at all, so I think it's worth it just for those six frames, though I wish I could see Peter Davison and Georgia Tennant act that scene. Also, Twelve ruffling her hair is CUTE. Basically, the plot here is pretty meh, but it crosses over a whole lot of characters that are really fun to see together, even for just a few moments, and that's what makes it enjoyable.

Doctor Who: The Lost Dimension #1: Alpha (by Nick Abadzis, Rodrigo Fernandes, Cavan Scott)
* Portraits of ‘Jon Snow’ & Jenna Coleman as ‘Queen Victoria’ in the Doctor’s office on campus.
* “The Terrance Dick Library”
Solid start to the series
"Anyone else... Maybe they'd hesitate. Maybe they'd think they were still just a library assistant from Hackney. Maybe they'd think they were only human. But I've left that kind of hesitation behind. You don't travel with the Doctor to stay the same. I'm me. I'm Alice. I'm just... more."

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!

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 historical tales and wild science fiction adventures. The historical episodes would teach children about Marco Polo, the Roman Empire, and other historical figures. The sci-fi episodes would have the Doctor fighting scary monsters with science, math, and technology.
The monsters episodes proved to be more popular pretty quick. History would still play a factor since this was a show about time travel. Only now instead of visiting Winston Churchill to help defeat the Nazis, the Doctor would go back in time to 1944 to help save England from the Daleks.
With all the monsters, over time, Doctor Who would garner a reputation of being scary. But that hasn't stopped the beloved series from being a weekly treat for family Saturday night viewings. As former Doctor Who show-runner Steven Moffat puts it, 'of course Doctor Who is a children's show but that doesn't mean that it's childish.' With testimony like that from one of the experts, I made my decision- this is a perfect read for a Family Comic Friday!
In this collected work from Titan Comics, when a mysterious ship crashes in London, the 12th Doctor rushes to the scene- only to come face to face with his daughter, Jenny! The Doctor's daughter has sought him out to warn him of a mysterious white hole of light that has swallowed up one of the Time Lord's former companions, Captain Jack Harkness.
If appears that this mysterious energy source isn't just gobbling up former travelling buddies of the Doctor. It's also turning the Doctor's friends into monsters. From all of the Doctor's timelines, none of the Doctor's friends and enemies such as Madame Vastra, Rose, Bill, even the Cybermen are safe from this anomaly of space and time! But what if the Doctor falls victim to this strange force? If one of the 12th Doctor's former selves succumbs to this white hole, is that the end of him as well?
You don't have to be a long-time fan of Doctor Who to fully enjoy this volume. But it really helps. I am not as knowledgeable in the Titan Comics adaptations. So my familiarity with the comics only companions was pretty weak. I guess that balances out in the long run.
I've read a couple of Doctor Who crossovers in which he meets some if not all of his former selves. They're pretty good but they don't have the heart, humor, or fun as The Lost Dimension does. This first volume collects the first 6 chapters of The Lost Dimension was written by a trio of different writers. Nick Abadzis (Laika), George Mann (Warhammer 40,000), and Doctor Who journeyman, Cavan Scott each craft a pair of stories. Yet, I felt like each chapter was seamlessly crafted by just a single writing entity. That's a sign of a great story-writing team.
I felt the same way about the artwork of this book. Motherlands' Rachael Stott and Adriana Melo (Witchblade) trade off on the art duties and it was flawlessly good.
There's a lot of questions that remain such as who is behind this time anomaly? Can the Doctor's friends be cured? And when does Book 2 come out?
I can only answer the last question. Doctor Who: The Lost Dimension Book 2 drops on March 20th, exactly one month after Book 1. So I don't have to wait very long to find on what happens next. All of the individual issues that make up volume 2 have already been released. I could get those, but I think that would be a little bit of a cheat.
The comics that make up The Lost Dimension are not rated. However, in the spirit of the television series in which in is based, this book is for suitable for kids but it's not an immature book. The action, thrills, and humor can be enjoyed by all ages. Some of the science and physics might need an adult to help interrupt. As for the monsters, it's a tad scary but so are other family classics like Snow White and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

The Doctor Who universe is so vast (starting from the TV series -both old and new generations, to novels, to comics), it's impossible to get a grasp on the whole of it. As a fan, it's a good thing to know that you may never run out of things to watch, listen to, or read. As someone discovering it, it might feel a bit overwhelming, but in a good way.
However, one thing's for sure, nothing ever truly disappoints.
And so, this is the first time I'm actually reading one of those comics. I've only found out about this particular one because BBC's Doctor Who Youtube channel advertised it about two weeks ago. Since it mentioned it being a crossover of all Doctors, and with me being in need of a DW fix (it's been a while since I've last watched an episode as I haven't even finished the last season that aired, partly because of lack of time, partly because I'm having a hard time getting myself to watch it knowing it's the end of 12's era), this appeared to me like what I needed right now. And now that I've read this first half of The Lost Dimension, I just want 1) to read the second half right away (which I now have huge expectations about) and 2) to read more of these comics (which I might very well do in a -hopefully- near future).
This first half hasn't actually brought all Doctors together yet as it consists of one comic from each of 9, 10 and 11's series, plus one called Alpha that's mostly focused on 12, and a Jenny special, but we already get appearances from old generation Doctors -as well as other old friends ()- in each of them. One thing I liked was that 10 and 11's stories had companions that weren't from the TV series. But the one thing that truly sold it for me was Jenny. If there's one character from the series that I've always wanted to see more about, it was her. ♡ ()
Although this mostly sets the big story into place in each of these Doctors' timelines, and therefore mostly makes you eagerly wait for what's coming up next... each story still shines individually with its own Doctor saving whoever he finds on his road, bringing out some traits that make each of their personalities.
Because they're initially separate stories, each has its own artwork, and it was a bit weird to me to switch from one to the next as I needed to adjust to getting used to them each time. Now, I may not be much of a fan of all these different graphic styles, but I have to admit that all of them have in common a truly brilliant work on colours, each in their own style. One thing though: I had a hard time getting over the fact that Alpha's artist couldn't have consistency about 12's hair.
Long story short: I'd definitely recommend this to any fan who hasn't read it yet. For anyone not familiar with the universe and the different incarnations of the Doctor though, I'd advise against taking this up right away. Sure, you can probably still enjoy the stories as they are, but I feel like it's a better experience when you know the characters beforehand. So, get to know the Doctors first and then come back for it.
I should get the second book some time next week. See you guys then for the end of this journey.

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 and Tara who have arrived on a planet that is full of volcanic activity and very dangerous. But Jenny is unable to rescue them and is sucked into a white void. She's pushed out of the void by the Fifth Doctor's TARDIS which is sucked into the void in her place. Jenny's ship is damaged. But the next thing we see in the book is Jenny crashing into the Terrance Dicks library on Earth - in a different ship. Later, we learn what happened to Jenny after she was freed from the Void and how she got her Time Lord Bow Ship, which subsequently crashed into the library. The story would have been stronger if it had been told in order.
There are other vignettes - the Twelfth Doctor is there with Bill when Jenny crashes her ship into the library. Kate Stewart arrives with Osgood to slap a D-notice on the incident. But some sort of radiation affects Osgood and everyone else, so they are all saying, "Peace".
The Ninth Doctor and Rose arrive on a pirate ship, captained by Vastra and Jenny. The ship crashes into an island hidden by a perception filter. It's home to a colony of Silurians, but unfortunately for Vastra, these Silurians have a plague that can kill her. Still, the Doctor and Rose pick-up a psychic message from Captain Jack - which the Doctor ignores.
The Tenth Doctor, Cindy, and Gabby arrive on a space station, where they are welcomed with open arms. The Doctor fixes the station's power overload, but he can't do a lot about an invasion of Cybermen. That the Cybermen have been affected by the White Void and are acting weird just makes the situation that much more strange.
The Eleventh Doctor and Alice end-up on ancient Gallifrey, just as the Time Lords are beginning to experiment with time and space travel. Even though the Doctor warns Alice they must be extra careful and not interfere, the Doctor, well, does. He walks in on a TARDIS training session and uses calming persuasion instead of "breaking" to get the new time-space capsule to accept an interior dimension bubble. His success convinces Rassilon that the Doctor will be perfect for his test pilot program. Alice gets a warning about this from the Second Doctor, but when she gets to the training and testing center - it's too late, the Doctor's time/space capsule has exploded with him inside it.
We also see brief cameos of the Third Doctor in this volume as he briefly appears in one of his successors TARDISes. The story will be continued in the next volume.
Most of the stories in this volume felt somewhat disjointed and out of sync. Just as one was getting involved in the individual story of an individual Doctor and companions, that story would end on a cliffhanger. The cliffhangers usually weren't resolved, so it left the reader hanging. Also, The Lost Dimension promises to feature all Twelve Doctors - but the Classic Doctors only appear in cameos, and the New Who Doctors get longer stories within the main storyline. Not that the New Who stories are bad - I enjoyed them. Titan Comics has excellent writers for there various New Who series. I was frustrated by the unresolved cliffhangers though. The general storyline involves this White Void that's taking over space. Still, recommended.

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 event launches with an Alpha story that sets all the plot threads going, but then the follow-up issues decide to go all over the place and tell random other stories that don't even tie-in to the event until the last few pages, if at all. The Ninth Doctor Special forgets it's even a part of the story until the final page, while the Fourth Doctor's tie-in references the white hole then decides to do something else with multi-dimensional characters instead, and the Tenth and Twelfth Doctors' issues scrabble around doing damage control instead of actually progressing anything.
The worst offender is the River Song Special which has absolutely nothing to do with anything, and seems to either have dialogue missing or too much of it, because none of what's going on makes any sense whatsoever.
The only useful part of the story is the Eleventh Doctor's issue, which gives us some much needed backstory for the threat in retrospect once everything is finished, but even that could have been condensed to a few pages rather than an entire issue. Thankfully the Omega issue brings all of the characters together for a good old Doctor team-up that washed the bland taste of everything else out of my mouth.
The art's also a jumble of styles since basically all of Titan's stable of Who artists contributed, and their trades never mention who does what. The only thing worth really mentioning is that I thought the Fourth Doctor was the Eighth Doctor for about half of his issue before he named his Companion, because his face didn't fit at all and his scarf didn't have the usual bright colours on it.
The Lost Dimension should have stayed lost, if you ask me. It's bloated even at eight issues, half of them are pointless, and even the title doesn't really fit since it's less about a lost dimension and more about a hole in space and time. Poor show all around, saved from being entirely dire by a half decent conclusion.

The event launches with an Alpha story that sets all the plot threads going, but then the follow-up issues decide to go all over the place and tell random other stories that don't even tie-in to the event until the last few pages, if at all. The Ninth Doctor Special forgets it's even a part of the story until the final page, while the Fourth Doctor's tie-in references the white hole then decides to do something else with multi-dimensional characters instead, and the Tenth and Twelfth Doctors' issues scrabble around doing damage control instead of actually progressing anything.
The worst offender is the River Song Special which has absolutely nothing to do with anything, and seems to either have dialogue missing or too much of it, because none of what's going on makes any sense whatsoever.
The only useful part of the story is the Eleventh Doctor's issue, which gives us some much needed backstory for the threat in retrospect once everything is finished, but even that could have been condensed to a few pages rather than an entire issue. Thankfully the Omega issue brings all of the characters together for a good old Doctor team-up that washed the bland taste of everything else out of my mouth.
The art's also a jumble of styles since basically all of Titan's stable of Who artists contributed, and their trades never mention who does what. The only thing worth really mentioning is that I thought the Fourth Doctor was the Eighth Doctor for about half of his issue before he named his Companion, because his face didn't fit at all and his scarf didn't have the usual bright colours on it.
The Lost Dimension should have stayed lost, if you ask me. It's bloated even at eight issues, half of them are pointless, and even the title doesn't really fit since it's less about a lost dimension and more about a hole in space and time. Poor show all around, saved from being entirely dire by a half decent conclusion.

Três roteiristas – incluindo o talentoso Nick Abadzis, de “Laika”, uma emocionante HQ sobre a cadela que os soviéticos enviaram ao espaço – e dez ilustradores – contando com Adriana Melo, nossa representante que traz no currículo álbuns da série Star Wars – reunidos para contar uma história que envolve doze versões do Doctor, além de diversas “companions” e, ainda, Jenny, a filha do Doctor. O resultado? Uma salada. Uma confusão em que cada roteirista tenta puxar a rédea do cavalinho para seu próprio playground e em que os estilos diferentes de arte se fundem em uma massa anódina, sem estilo perceptível ou grandes ideias diagramáticas. Aliás, diante do texto proficiente em “technobabble”, a arte opta por ficar em segundo plano, exercendo função decorativa ou, pior, muitas vezes acionando o “modo redundância”, retratando uma versão mais pobre do texto.
A trama, mudando de ponto de vista a cada quatro páginas, também não ajuda. Falta um desenvolvimento de personalidade para tantos atores na história convoluta. São tantas vozes, e todas tão parecidas, que a única solução possível para a arte é tentar reproduzir os rostos dos diferentes atores que interpretaram o personagem de maneira a não darmos muita atenção aos diálogos. Isso, claro, em detrimento à definição de cenários e, uma lástima!, dos outros personagens, uma coleção de figuras anódinas e dispensáveis. Terminei a leitura desse primeiro volume sem ter a menor ideia de qual ameaça tão terrível era aquela sobre a qual todos estavam tão apavorados. Parecia apenas um episódio ruim da série, mas ampliado infinitas vezes.
Ainda assim, há pontos de interesse: 1) a melhor passagem – disparada! – é a que relata o dia-a-dia de Jenny perdida no espaço, sozinha, tendo de se virar com bom humor e otimismo dentro de uma nave com ração contada e pouco oxigênio. É esse oásis narrativo que salva a edição, mas logo se perde em uma reviravolta tosca que joga a melhor personagem da história no meio da correria de todos os outros manequins sem rosto que são o resto do elenco (e vejam que quem escreve isso sou eu, que amo uma correria e narrativa picotada).
Há mais uma ou outra boa ideia perdidas no meio da bagunça, mas que demandariam um pouquinho mais de desenvolvimento para que fossem consideradas dignas de seus rico dinheirinho, porém, confesso, fiquei curioso para saber como acaba essa celeuma. Vou catar o volume dois, por desencargo de consciência.

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 "white hole", which seems to be like a 'black hole' yet it travels to other points in space, and is affecting beings near it like a thought-controlling possessing presence, sometimes referred to as a 'corruption'. Each Doctor (9-12) is interacting with it in a different way.
9- An encounter with Madame Vastra on board a pirate ship has them landing in a Silurian colony. The need to counteract the corruption comes from a warning from the 4th Doctor.
10 - Poseidon Station, a mining station in deep space, gets invaded by the Cybermen. 10th Doctor and his companions attempt to help, but get drawn into the conflict spanning time. 3rd Doctor makes a brief appearance.
11- Heading through the 'white hole' itself, the 11th Doctor and his companion end up on Ancient Gallifrey. He gets involved in the early trials of testing a TARDIS, and seems to vanish completely. The 2nd Doctor makes an appearance here.
12- Jenny, the Doctor's daughter, arrives with news of the corruption and tells the story of how she got here. Her journey receives help from the 5th Doctor.
Again.... I'm not 1000% sure of all that is going on here, but I look forward to seeing how all the pieces fit together in the second part of this story.
Recommend, but only for Doctor Who fans as well as readers of the comic series.

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 adventures that are just barely connected by some strange, currently undefined event. The fact that this volume of the comic stops before anything comes together makes it even more troublesome.
Still, it's saved by a variety of factors. First, some of the individual stories are good, particularly Eleven's story, which returns to Gallifrey's past, and feels like it's part of the Cartmel masterplan. Second, the use of classic Doctors like Two, Three, and Four. Third, a general good focus on continuity, as best evidenced by the use of the Doctor's Daughter.
Perhaps this whole volume will retroactively improve when it has a conclusion to draw it together, but it ain't there yet.

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 encountering Vastra and Jenny at sea during the Victoria as Vastra is searching for a lost Silurian Colony. The Tenth Doctor, Cindy, and Gabby rescue a space station that finds itself in peril and also under attack by Cybermen. The Eleventh Doctor's Tardis' fluid link has failed and he and Alice are stranded on pre-time Travel Gallifrey where the Doctor tries to stay uninvolved and somehow construct a new one.
What I like about this first volume is that while it offers a fair bit of fan service, each issue is a story in itself. It's not being dominated by the overarching plot. This makes for a much more fun reading experience. The art remains good and the book concludes on a very tense cliffhanger to set up the next volume.

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 Omega), appearances by Kate Stewart and Osgood. However, while it has a lot going for it, and the plot is followable and enjoyable, it still packs a lot into it and can get confusing with a sense of being overpacked. The art is good for the most part and it's an interesting story. I'd recommend though that one has a working knowledge of Titan's other Doctor Who lines leading up to this so you're at least familiar with most of the characters.

Tem alguns bons momentos, e acerta no encontro entre "doutores" da série clássica e atual, alem de trazer outros(as) coadjuvantes conhecidos(as) da série de TV.
Tem fichas contextualizando os diferentes doutores o que ajuda quando os civís forem ler a história, embora essa seja mesmo uma HQ para fãs iniciados. Também tem artes bonitas dos(as) diferentes artistas que trabalham na HQ.
Infelizmente, esse é também um problema. O trabalho irregular de diferentes artistas em poucas páginas (128) impacta demais no visual geral. Essa HQ merecia ser desenhada apenas pela Rachel Stott ou pela Adriana Melo. E as cores... bom, ficaram sofríveis: também mereciam apenas um colorista trabalhando no material.
Apesar desses problemas, compensou a compra, principalmente por ser um material capa dura que adquiri por um preço módico. A tradução é da (querida) Thais Aux, que é uma especialista em Doctor Who.

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 with the Fifth Doctor from afar, being that she was portrayed by the daughter of Davison. There's also a brief cameo from the Third Doctor, and we of course get updates on Nine, Ten, and Eleven, as well as their respective companions with whom they've been traveling in Titan's comics. So overall, this event started with a bang.

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 give Volume 2 a chance to see if it cleans up the very blurry subplots. I may edit and adjust as necessary. If nothing else, it's engaging.

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 into this story in a way that let them write their individual chapters separately. It's not a bad story but just a little confusing.

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 history (much like certain recent plot twists in the TV series), but it is interesting. (Also: Bonus points to George Mann for the meta gag involving the Fifth Doctor. Very clever.) (A-)

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 confusion when I read the others (before and after this one).

If you are a fan of Doctor Who, go out and get this. It is awesome. I had such a blast reading it. From the cameos of old doctors, to the references to the current story lines being told in the Titan books, to the art - the art is spectacular.
I really enjoyed that they broke this up into separate adventures of each doctor that relate to the overarching story instead of being one long story with multiple doctors.
Strong start, I hope they can stick the landing.

This is a a lot of fun. All the Doctors are facing a problem that gets them reunited with some old friends and foes. The 12th Doctor is technically the main Doctor here but the story makes him share the limelight equally with the other 3 Doctors. The return of Jenny is lovely, especially how the Doctor reacts to her. There's lots of easter eggs dotted about, and this is clearly a work of love.
A very good read.
A very good read.

Love it!
It had everything. K9, multiple Doctors, Bill, Jenny and Vastra, Jenny (doctors daughter) , Captain Jack, Nardole, and so much more.
This comic was so fun and entertaining. There were so many separate story lines that all came together.
I love Vastra and the Doctor interacting.
Vastra: "I declare you are lying."
Doctor: "How?"
Vastra: "Because your lips are moving."
Doctor: "Vastra, you idiot! You broke the connection. The grown-ups were talking."

Well, let’s see how this all ties in together before I start complaining about how disparate each Doctor’s story seems to be.
On the plus side...Vastra and Jenny! I hadn’t even been thinking about them so it was wonderful to have a cameo. Likewise for Nardole. Now all we need is Missy to pop out and cause havoc with the other Doctors, who’ll know even less of what to do with her!

Really enjoyed. Lots of different threads brought together, interested to see what the pay off will be. Having read this late in the day, it will be interesting to see how the timeless child arc will effect this story. Some fab touches, 9th doctor with vastra and silurians is great. Eager to see more 12, Bill and Nardole.

Outside of the first part setting up the story, where the different modern incarnation of the Doctor get some visions of past ones, this book largely is individual adventures for the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Doctors along with Jenny, the Doctor's daughter. It's fun, but how it all ties together isn't clear. Presumably, Part Two takes care of that.

3.5 stars
Many Doctors make an appearance, but more importantly Jenny returns! The story moves along without taking a breather and despite one bit of quite patchy artwork the various segments meld very well, barrelling towards a very important revelation concerning the 11th Doctor and his interactions with a very early TARDIS...
Geronimo & never mind about causality!!
