Doctor Who: Arena Of Fear
An improvement, but still pretty mid. Feels like a line coasting on the most marketable Doctor.
Doctor Who: Weapons Of Past Destruction
A groaning, self-indulgent epic. Feels weird that the first vision of Dr Who I ever encountered is now old enough for nostalgia pieces.
Doctor Who: Sonic Boom
This is a bit more like it. A historical epic with a nice dash of brio, followed by a charming meta romp. Year Two ends on a grace note.
Doctor Who: The School of Death
Surprisingly decent. Feels like a title finding its feet; Stott’s art is fabulous, Morrison finally has a good handle on the characters’ voices, and there’s some charming meta humour. Enjoyed.
FIYAH Magazine, Issue 22
A mixed issue, this. Couple of great pieces but a lot of mediocrity. My favourites were ‘A Brief and Hideous Scrawl’ and ‘The Deathing Room’.
Doctor Who: The One
Still terribly fun, if fanwanky. Manages an actually decent spin on the time war, which is a plus.
Apex Magazine, Issue 125
An OK issue; lots of adequate stories, but little that was transcendent, other than ‘The Rat’ by Yohanca Delgado, which was fabulous.
Fiyah Magazine, Issue 19
A very fun issue; a thoroughly decent set of stories and poems, and one middling essay. My favourites were 'To Rest And To Create,' 'Morning,' and 'Where The Sky Becomes Milk.'
