Review

I am a huge fan of Dr Who, especially the Tenth and Thirteenth Doctor and this graphic novel Dr Who Vol 1: Alternating Current did not disappoint me in the least.

I like the way each doctor even though they are technically the same person although regenerated have a totally different persona and you could definitely see this in the graphic novel with their ism’s.

The Tardis on its way gets caught in a paradox and history has been rewritten. The Sea Devils have taken over Earth and now the humans are their slaves. It is up to the Doctor’s and their teams to fix it.

At the beginning of the book there is a little bit about what happened previously, and it also a bit about each character which is helpful if you have not been following the TV Shows and are totally new to Dr Who.

All of the characters have been illustrated really well, I could tell who they were as they were so close the real life.

If you are familiar with Rose and the Tenth Doctors story you will also feel pulled to it, when she doesn’t even know who he is.

The storyline is as I would have expected, aliens, saving the world with the help of their friends and the doctors’ characters shining out.

Absolutely brilliant!
