As promised a very long time ago now (sorry readers, been
awhile since I've been able to sit down and compose a proper blog entry review
for this page, I'll try and be more prolific now that we all are impatiently
waiting for the 50th Anniversary episode), it's time to delve into 'Doctor Who'
comics review. We'll begin with tales from the current rights holder of the
property for comics, IDW Comics, who in addition to publishing an on-going
series featuring the current Matt Smith Doctor (I've been catching up on some
of them, so expect a review soon), also produce special issues such as the
recent 'Star Trek The Next Generation/Doctor Who' crossover story 'Assimilation
Squared' which Steve (rightly) slagged to pieces on 'The Whostorian' podcast.
To add to this creative output, they also print a title, 'Doctor Who Classic
Comics', that exclusively presents material reprinted from 'Doctor Who
Weekly/Monthly/Magazine' ongoing comic strip, and it is an issue of that series
we will be reviewing this time around.
