Doctor Who: The Glorious Dead: The Complete Eighth Doctor Comic Strips Vol.2

I was recommended this comic a little while back after I asked for some Eighth Doctor stories to check out and I was not disappointed. I won't give anything away but it was a blast to read and to my surprise it featured an extended universe companion I had been curious about for a few years now Kroton the Cyberman and now I can safely say he's one of my favourite companions

This is an excellent comic book collection with wonderful adventures; the first one I read featuring the Eighth Doctor, because unfortunately, they just have not republished the Endgame collection when Izzy first showed up! Oh, well, I can still get into it. The plotline is fascinating, and how they set it up is great as well, plus it also features a couple of extra comic strips--one where the Doctor and Izzy wind up in BBC television studios in 1975 (and Mr. Humphries is not free. Poor man) and another where the Eighth Doctor gets involved in an adventure with his previous incarnations! Of course, the last two are played for laughs...I especially love the commentary in these comic book collections with Eight, Ten, and Eleven; I wish they could do the same with some of the early Doctors (and I wish they could fit in Nine's adventures somewhere, anywhere. Oh, well.)

Excellent!

A wonderful collection of the superb Eighth Doctor strips from DWM, published in the Wilderness years. The behind the scenes features were also quite informative.And there's also some art from Roger Langridge, which is always a bonus.

This graphic novel is a particularly enjoyable read along with the rest of the graphic novels in the range. More 8th Doctor is always a joy in any form and I can't help but hear Paul McGanns's voice when I read his lines in the comic.The entire thing is in black and white which works well, I prefer the colour in volumes 3 and 4 in this range however these did come out before DWM moved the comics over to colour so it was to be expected.Particular stand out stories include The Road to Hell and The Glorious Dead, which are two of the biggest stories in the set and have some fun elements that definitely would be harder for the series to pull off on TV.Izzy is as always an enjoyable companion and Kroton (no not the species) the Cyberman makes for a very unique companion which makes me yearn for the TV series to once again be more creative than just the constant stream of present day earth women, at a stretch maybe a present day earth men.
