The Doctor is currently the Tenth Doctor, the last of the Time Lords, survivor of a Great Time War and, along with his loyal friend and companion Martha Jones from London, they stop oppression, darkness, and evil spreading throughout the galaxies. They're also on the hunt for the best chocolate milkshakes in the cosmos... and while they track that down, someone else has the Doctor in their sights. As the very last Time Lord out there, he's highly collectable, to the right people!… (meer)

This was the first in the IDW series of Tenth Doctor comics, published in 2008. I realised that I have read most of the others in this sequence – The Forgotten, Through Time and Space, Fugitive, Tesseract, and Final Sacrifice. The others are all by Tony Lee and all, to be honest, better. This has six loosely linked stories which don’t really cohere internally and with art which, while very nicely executed, doesn’t always end up looking much like the Tenth Doctor or Martha Jones as we know them. Though I did appreciate the reappearance ot the Cat People from Russell’s long-ago novel. Still, it’s enjoyable enough popcorn for the fannish mind. ( )

Good story, I wasn't crazy about the artwork though. ( )

IDW has put out a large number of Doctor Who comics since it acquired the American license in 2008, but I've avoided most of them-- this one because it was written by Gary Russell, whose Doctor Who novels I almost never enjoy. But in May IDW released digital downloads of everything they ever published as a Humble Bundle, and sixteen trade paperbacks for $15 is nothing to sneeze at.

Having finally read this, IDW's very first Doctor Who story, I feel justified in avoiding it. These are six largely self-contained single-issue stories, with a narrative threading through the whole thing. But if you can explain what that narrative actually is, you're a smarter person than me. They don't really work at standalones, either; Russell typically wastes the first 3-4 pages of each story on irrelevant banter between the Doctor and Martha, and then leaving him less than twenty pages to introduce a problem, complicate it, and solve it. Usually it's the solution that suffers; many of these endings are cursory at best. It must be admitted that he really captures the voices of the Doctor and Martha very well, but that is not anywhere near enough to make all 136 pages worth reading.

I feel like my copy was missing so many pages. Story lines began and then drifted off into the void without mention again. Perhaps they were hoping for a sequel, I don't know. Almost every time a new issue began, it began as though dozens of things had happened since the last issue and the author just didn't want to tell you.

The art was jarring as well, as it changed stylistically from issue to issue. Not that it wasn't good, but when Martha looks like six different people over the course of a hundred-and-something pages, something is a little bit off.

The story line had a lot of potential, but characters were underutilized and the story *line* became just random plot points somewhere along that line. It needed more. ( )
