My secret place for Dr Who thoughts.
Cold-Blooded War, a 2009 Titan comic where Donna Noble helps bring peace to the Draconian empire by teaching them about feminism.

A sequel to the 70s Peladon serials, this story feels authentic, in the sense that it doesn't really understand feminism.

I'm about a page into the Doom's Day novel Extraction Point, and I'm happy to announce that this novel is brilliant and the Doom's Day project is good actually.

Autopia, a 2009 Doctor Who comic from Titan.

The Doctor and Donna visit a supposed utopia, but with self-aware robots as slaves. The Doctor-Donna inspire a revolution, and prevent bloodshed by ... turning the planet into a tourist spot??

It's like if Planet of the Ood was pro capitalism.

The Time Machination, a 2009 Titan comic where the Torchwood Institute convinces HG Wells to help capture the Doctor.

I really like that idea! And the art is absolutely gorgeous.

Unfortunately I did not enjoy this comic because of Tony Lee's excessive use of references to other Dr Who stories.

Tell you what's brilliant - The Whispering Gallery. A Titan comic with the Tenth Doctor and Martha.

They land on a planet that observes extreme stoicism, with a gallery capturing its people's most profound emotions felt when they die.

A 2000AD-ish plot, but with a tone of optimistic melancholy.

It's a shame there's nobody who exists who can truly enjoy the Doom's Day project.

I come closest. I like non-telly Dr Who, I like stories that span different media, and I like fun new characters.

Problem is, even I can't like the Lost in Time game.

Today I read the Titan Doom's Day comic, A Doctor In The House? Part Two.

I like Titan comics, I like Jody Houser, I like Doom's Day. I didn't like this comic very much.

It's mainly the storytelling in the art. What exactly happens at the book stall? So unclear.
