johhnnyinla's review against another edition
3.0
Probably better named as "Captain Jack: Mr. Invincible." The usual Torchwood crew seems to be missing in action, with the exception of brief mentions of Rhys, Gwen, and PC Andy (now SGT), in this story.
Jack has a vision of Gwen's death and returns home. Jack pairs up with SGT Andy with the intent of preventing Gwen's portended demise.
Meanwhile, Jack becomes involved with Andy's cases involving various types of unexplained events-- bank robbery thwarted by a seemingly invincible, pockets of time distortions popping up in Cardiff and aging residents rapidly or turning them into boys.
In the end, Jack determined all the cases are linked to each other, deduced the true cause of the manifestations and found a solution to neuter the source.
The story is true to Torchwood and Captain Jack and came across as an episode on the telly. The short and abrupt ending seemed rushed and the solution wimpy. With that aside, and taking the short length of this story into account, I think Torchwood fans would find this enjoyable and fun.

More of a Captain Jack solo story than a Torchwood story. Fairly short but well narrated by Tom Price and I liked the intersection of superhero fandom with the aliens that dominate Torchwood.
