Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious (Two issue mini series/Titan Comics)








































Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious continues in a second comic strip from British publisher Titan Comics though in an American format and available through specialist comic shops in the UK. This features the Tenth Doctor (plus a special appearance at the end, no spoilers) whilst the strip in Doctor Who Magazine features the Ninth.

This is a self contained two issue mini-series which sees the Doctor (in the form of David Tennant) transported to an alternative timeline. The Time War not happened and the Daleks have their Empire but it's under threat and for some reason their strategy sees the Doctor as their saviour from a foe they cannot beat.

Once again we find ourselves looking at the Dark Times with menaces long thought past raising their heads and threatening the whole of creation let alone the Daleks whose quest to exterminate their enemy has failed.

The Dalek Strategist (a rather battered individual) asks the Doctor to stop their enemy, a choice he has no choice in refusing if the universe is to survive but can the Daleks be trusted? The Doctor wants to talk but Daleks they like to shoot at things they fear.









































Meanwhile the BBC have released a Blue ray containing all the Doctor Who adventures that tie in to the Dark Times with appearances by Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Sylvester McCoy and David Tennant! There's lots of Daleks and other threats to fight in this splendid collection due out shortly. 

As for the comic? Highly recommended: 

Rating 4.5 Stars
