A review by tanja
Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time, Volume 1 by Scott Tipton, Lee Sullivan, Simon Fraser, David Tipton
2.0
The story starts out well. The mysterious bad guy is looking at photos of different Doctors and companions – “The Doctor is never alone. I’m gonna have to change that.” It’s the best part of the story. Everything goes downhill from there.
There are three chapters, each one featuring a different Doctor. What happens is: there’s a mystery, the Doctor solves it, the companions disappear. The stories don’t have anything to do with each other, which would be okay if they were interesting. But they’re not, so you have to read three boring stories that end the same way. There’s no excitement, there was almost nothing that made me think “What’s gonna happen next?”. I just didn't care for it. The problems were solved very easily.
Illustrations are boring. I can recognize the characters, but that’s the only positive thing I can say.
This volume gets two stars from me because the villain is interesting and I like the idea of all the companions disappearing. But I expected a lot better from the 50th Anniversary celebration.
