Let me just come out and say - I was quite simply stunned by this comic. I wish wholeheartedly that I was reading my own copy of it, and not someone else's.
***SPOILER ALERT***
Tie-in comic books are generally considered to be of pretty shabby quality. Only a few series ever manage to achieve the same greatness of the original show / film, and all too many fade away into nothingness.
When I was at the comic shop last week, I looked at this comic, scoffed at it under my breath ("HA! American comic about a British sci-fi show..."), turned up my nose at it and walked away.
What a huge mistake.
The book follows The Doctor and Martha Jones' travels in time (which puts it's continuity somewhere around series 3 of the TV series), and in this particular issue, a quest for the greatest chocolate milkshake ever...!
At first glance, you might be put off by it's somewhat simplistic concept - but don't you dare put that book down - you'll be smiling away long before the end of it!
Pete's Score: 4 out of 5
(this is a fantastic comic book - and well worth a read, for fans of the series or otherwise)
