I'd go so far as to say their entire presence could have been deleted and the story itself wouldn't have changed. And even if you ignore the whole "companions are important" part that's supposed to thread through all of "Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time," it's hard to ignore that Leela and K-9's side adventure is pure filler. Our yearlong celebration of Doctor Whos 50th anniversary continues Oh my giddy aunt Its time to break out the recorders. Leela and K-9 are sent off to form a distraction while new characters accompany the Doctor to the climax of the story, which feels a little wrong-headed.

This volume collects together issues 5 to 8 of the magazine of the same title from IDW, along with full page photographs of the appropriate four Doctors and cover artwork. It's a little odd, though, to have a mini-series where one of the main thrusts is how important the companions are to the Doctor and then give them almost no interaction with one another. The eagerly awaited volume 2 of IDW's Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time is here at last and it is well worth the wait.
The Doctor's in his aimless wandering mode, which works well with the time period, and Leela and K-9 have hit the point where the two play off each other well as noble savage versus robotic dog. Our yearlong celebration of Doctor Whos 50th anniversary concludes All eleven Doctors must team up if theres any. The early portions work well enough it's very relaxed and I can see it fitting into Season 15 well enough. The story from the Tiptons is ultimately the uneven part of this comic. They do occasionally come across a bit oddly, though Leela leaping into the Judoon ship looks just bizarre, for instance, and a page later it feels like Leela's leg has just been eaten by speed lines. He and Leela both come across animated and entertaining to watch, and their expressions are by far the best part of their depiction. Erskine goes back to the well of Baker's toothy grin a great deal, but to his credit it doesn't ever come across as stiff or posed. Erskine's able to keep his own art style without also losing the familiar looks of Tom Baker and Louise Jameson playing the 4th Doctor and Leela. The visuals courtesy of Gary Erskine (with help from Mike Collins) are definitely not the problem. Volume 1 Item Preview remove-circle Share or Embed This Item. But four issues into the series, there's a strong sameness in each installment, and with that a certain level of unevenness.
The hardback presentation of this book is very nice and the summaries of each Doctor at the end of each chapter offer a brief insight into their respective eras.The concept behind the "Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time" mini-series - each issue focusing on a different Doctor and set of companions, which will eventually lead into a big climax for issue #12 - is a fun one, and Scott and David Tipton deserve credit for that idea. I particularly like the arc running throughout the book, it links the stories together but doesn't feel like too much as sometimes arc-heavy storylines can detract from the individual stories or episodes. As all Doctors up to the (at the time) current eleventh incarnation are featured, this reminds me very much of "The Forgotten", another multi-doctor story giving them each their own chance shine. The only Doctor who appears (visually) a little strange is the 8th Doctor, the artist hasn't really captured Paul McGann's likeness in the same way the others have which is a shame but doesn't spoil the story. Our yearlong celebration of Doctor Whos 50th anniversary continues as the Fifth Doctor takes the spotlight in this issue of a 12-part epic adventure.

The plot of the book is clever and the resolution is satisfying, it's a shame it can never be made into a tv story! I find the writers and artists have done well to capture the mannerisms of each Doctor although sometimes they may say or do something a little out of character. David Bradley was born on Apin York, Yorkshire, England as David John Bradley. Doctor Who Archives: Prisoners of Time Omnibus celebrates the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who with a twelve-part tribute to one of the most beloved heroes of.
I received this book today and I love it so far! It collects Prisoners of Time Volumes 1, 2 and 3 and follows the Doctor through all (at the time) eleven of his incarnations with a common threat linking each of them together. Doctor Who: Prisoners Of Time, Comic Books 1-12, Complete Series.
