Doctor Who Comics from Titan - Now featuring the 12th Doctor! |
Licensed comics used to get a bit of a raw deal. People came with the expectation that they would be A) pants and B) too kiddified. I'm happy to say that this is most definitely NOT the case with Titan's lineup and most certainly not the case with their long-running Doctor Who comics which have been steadily building up a huge following with fans of the show, now it's emerged as one of the BBC's biggest draws.
Catching up with the comics, we've been looking at the current Doctor's run (Peter Capaldi is kicking up a storm with his own take on The Doctor - and though I think the scripts consistently let him down, he's a flipping awesome doc IMHO). The comics are put together by some of the leading luminaries on the international comics scene with the likes of Robbie Morrison (an ex-2000AD alumni amongst other comics) and Dave Taylor contributing to the new adventures. Gritty new adventures await the 12th Doctor, it's fantastic to see the writing actually exceeding the quality of the show's storylines (proof positive that the next season really needs to buck its ideas up a bit).
The great thing about the comics is that there's something for everyone so even if you haven't quite fallen in love with Capaldi's rendition of The Doctor, dive back in and take a look at Titan's awesome 10th and 11th Doctor series too...
