Actually looking forward to this alot!
Ohhhh… very nice! Didn’t know this was a Doctor/Donna story. Even better. Though, I would have sworn by the name that this was an Auton story.
It was good, but definitely on the silly side. Does IDW not want to make any Doctor stories besides those of Tennant and his companions?
@Noto It’s not a matter of IDW wanting to make them, but the BBC has very strict licensing rules. Most likely they are constrained to focusing on the current Doctor and reprinting the classic strips.
Decent issue. Nothing terribly amazing, a little silly as Noto said, but fun. Still, 4/5 for being the first (and probably only) story with Donna, my favorite companion.
@Prax – Is that certain that it’s because of the BBC? I ask because IDW’s The Forgotten 6-ish mini actually had ALL of the Doctors in it and I was impressed how the voices really translated. It was obvious to me that the writer Tony Lee had clear knowledge of the Doctor’s history as opposed to just being a comissioned writer only knowing the newest series.
If you haven’t read it yet, please do yourself a favor and pick up the trade.
@Noto Oh, I know. I loved The Forgotten. But as I said, BBC’s licensing is weird. The Big Finish audio range cannnot make reference to anything from the New Series that wasn’t in the old series. They’ve even gotten in trouble for making vague reference to Eccleston and such. (Though they have recently been allowed to use the new sonic screwdriver noise.) I believe the question was asked when they announced the Doctor Who ongoing coming down the line, because people wondered if it might be an anthology series. They gave a very uneasy "You may see stuff more like The Forgotten, but not stories about the past doctors." The BBC has to approve every story before IDW puts it out and they’re pretty active in all their licensing unlike other franchises.
But…but… You don’t understand… You’re not hearing me… I WANT!
