Two rather fun stories. I wasn't really super-keen on the art - the Doctor was recognisable enough, I guess, although mostly thanks to that jacket than anything else (that said, I did like all the panels that just showed his eyes) but I'd never have known Clara was Clara if she hadn't been with Twelve and referred to as, well, Clara - and in some ways I found Twelve's characterisation a little simplistic, basically just relying on a couple of his less endearing traits, but the, those stories wer...
I really like the Twelfth Doctor. However, I'm not the biggest fan of Clara (she's not horrible, obviously, but I'm ready to move on from her). So please, more Doctor, less Clara in the future. Why not give him a new companion to travel with?
This collection of 12th Doctor comics contains 2 stories. The first is "Terrorformer" and the second is "The Swords of Okti."WARNING: SOME SPOILERS BELOW!"Terrorformer" has an interesting concept, introducing the race of Hyperions, sentient stars that used to be benevolent but then went mad and started destroying things until the most advanced civilizations, including the Time Lords, stopped them. The Hyperions are the main recurring villains through several more 12th Doctor comics. The story it...
A fun start with our rather tame looking Twelfth Doctor. I personally enjoy his mad scientist hair. I enjoyed the fact that it’s a single volume plot that isn’t overly stretched.Some eye-rolling moments however, like the grand reveal of Hyperios, the newest legendary Pokemon, and the Doctor proclaiming Dewali as the festival of light. I know Deepavali and Diwali...maybe it’s the British spelling.
The Twelfth Doctor and Clara head off on a pair of adventures, one a battle with the titular Terrorformer and the other a cross-time confrontation with an Indian god of destruction.I like the classic Doctor Who approach of one sci-fi story and one historical one. That's probably the biggest compliment I can pay this volume tbh. The rest of it is kind of bland. Robbie Morrison's voice for the Twelfth Doctor fits, but he seems unnecessarily angry for like 80% of the story which doesn't feel entire...
Public library copy. This was the first Titans comic BBC publication I've read since IDW is no longer a licensee and I thought the efforts were better than the content IDW put out. The covers and especially the sequential art was done by better talent and remained on model. Likewise the story was consistent with the spirit of the show and I'd imagine fan's of DW, particularly of the 12th DW/actor, will enjoy the 2 tales collected herein. I thought the writer did a tremendous job capturing the to...
This first volume of the Twelfth Doctor's comic book adventures felt a little flat for me. There's something about his characterization that felt off from the nuances of his TV counterpart and we ended up with someone who was just old and cranky but lacking the spark that makes the Doctor so distinct. And this is coming from someone who enjoyed the TV run of the Twelfth Doctor a LOT.He just felt mean more than anything else and the first story in the volume wasn't all that exciting. I enjoyed th...
Cover aside, the Doctor herein looks more like an odd composite of half-a-dozen Scottish actors than Peter Capaldi, and only intermittently sounds like him. Clara Oswald, alas, is accurately depicted in all her smug, whiny obnoxiousness. Indeed, at one stage a completely pointless side scene sees her posing for the Mona Lisa, thus further bolstering her unjustified ego while simultaneously messing up one of the all-time great Doctor Who stories, City of Death. There are two tales here (geoengine...
Exactly what is says on the tin. The stories read just like a great Twelth Doctor episode with a much better budget. The terraforming story is filled with odd little throwaway world-building bits in particular, and I like how the second story tied in the Fourth Doctor. Nothing innovative, just a well-done by-the-formula Who collection.
Robbie Morrison's Twelfth Doctor does a good job of capturing the cranky, alien character of Twelve and also presents two fun action stories. There's a story of fiery sun-creatures that has good connections to Gallifreyan history and an Indian story that touches upon cultures not usually explored by Doctor Who. Meanwhile, we get strong characterization of Clara too, and plenty for her to do.All around, a good start for this new volume of Doctor adventures. The only problem is that the art deteri...
This book technically has two stories in it. The first one isn't especially interesting and has terrible art but its harmless. In this review, I'm going to focus on the second one. Set mostly in a futuristic version of India, it begins with the Doctor traveling to India and then immediately making a speech about how colonialism is bad and the East India Trading Company was made up of bad people. The rest of the story, however, is about how the Hindu gods are actually evil ancient aliens (that th...
This is a fun romp through two Dr. Who episodes, one episode involves sentient sun creatures, the other episode involves time and India. Was it perfect? No, but for the discerning Whovian, this was a fun romp with the doctor. The characterizations were pretty good. Peter Capaldi's Doctor is done rather well, you get the gruffness and snark. Clara is whiny and snarky as usual. The artwork for the two stories was decent although I think the quality fell off sharply at the end of the first story. T...
This was just amazing. It felt exactly like a 'normal' episode would and Twelve was so wonderfully... Twelve. Scottish and eyebrows and everything.
I was enjoying this comic just as much as the Ten and Eleven ones, especially since they gave us a story line involving one of the Doctor's old (old, old) friends, wrapped up in Indian culture and mythology (!!!), but I was put off by the addition of several homosexual characters, which ruined the story for me.They still did a good job keeping Twelve believable and in-character. Wholly original stories, completely in-tune with the show's feel and quality.
This volume just does't measure up to Titan's other current DW titles (Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor, Vol. 1: Revolutions of Terror & Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor, Vol. 1: After Life).Both stories, a terraforming gone wrong and an evil alien posing as a goddess, were pretty generic. The second story throws in a lesbian character, which is notable, but it does little to make the story more interesting.While the Doctor's characterization was lacking, Clara's was pretty on point (unfortunately).
the artwork is a bit too simplified when it comes to the main caracters, the story is ok, the second one good even, providing a bit of a classic who-twist.
Was honestly just kinda meh. I didn’t think either of the stories were super engaging, although I did enjoy the first one. The doctors characterization was just kinda off. Clara was pretty on point though, but unfortunately her banter with the doctor just didn’t come through. I think the second story was just a bit to over complicated, it felt as if it was just trying to do to much so none of the plot could really get fully fleshed out. It was okay an enjoyable enough sorry but just nothing supe...
I love Doctor Who, but for the sake of honesty, I haven’t seen any of the latest Doctor. I know, its shameful. 😔 I’ve been a fan of the Doctor since the 1960’s so there is no excuse. But I promise to spend less time reading and more time watching tv soon...maybe. Anyway, this book was excellent! I love Clara as a companion and enjoyed every story in this graphic novel. The art was superb and there was plenty of exposition along the way to make the story easy to follow.
I loved the story, I loved Twelve as much as I love him in the series but I h-a-t-e-d the artwork. The only part of it I liked was the cover. Clara didn't look like Clara at all and if I didn't know it was her I would have never recognised her. :( Other than that it was an enjoyable read.
The spirit of the Twelfth is nicely portrayed. The second story line was the more entertaining one for me. Definitely recommended for Doctor Who & comic fans!
