The road to the Thirteenth Doctor starts here!
The first of three stand-alone stories featuring the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor!
The Tenth Doctor has his work cut out when he encounters a lost spaceship... Whose crew is being absorbed by mysterious ghostly creatures! Everything is not how it seems, however, especially when disturbing facts about the crew come to light!
Each issue contains a serialised short from the creative teambehind the new Thirteenth Doctor ongoing series!
This is a wonderful little story, which will have you wondering what the writer and artist will do with the Eleventh and Twelve incarnations of Doctor Who. We also get a little glimpse of some of the artwork we will see in the Thirteenth Doctor Adventures when they start. Read Full Review
Not only are fans treated to an entertaining tale, but there is also a bonus story (like an after-credits scene). This additional telling expands on the Tenth Doctor's adventures during the episode "The Girl in the Fireplace". It fills in some interesting gaps in the story. Read Full Review
Peaty writes a fun adventure that sets up a whole new story arc for Ten and his companions. I love the humor and the mystery is so good. It feels like an episode of the series. The second story by Jody Houser is great. There isn't much to it but it sets up the new Doctor while also helping to set up the next event from Titan. Read Full Review
By looking to Doctor Who's past to tease its future, The Road to the Thirteenth Doctor #1 is a path well worth taking. Read Full Review
A nice start to a busy schedule of Doctor Who books building up to the launch later in the year of The Thirteenth Doctor. If it was designed to entice new readers in, this first effort was a good choice. Light and fun, it showcased The Tenth Doctor as a book to read as well as the upcoming special issues. Most definitely keep eyes on all these books, they are going to be epic. Read Full Review
Doctor Who: Road to the Thirteenth Doctor: The Tenth Doctor #1 is underwhelming and reduces Tennant's turn as the Time-Lord to some bad clichs and questionable lines of dialogue. The backup story is short but does better. The art is okay through the main story but also peaks in the backup line. That said, I can't quite recommend this one. Read Full Review
Madame de Pompadour once said that one can tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel. Personally, I would not recommend tolerating the horrendously awful main story of this comic for the sake of the brilliant back-up. Read Full Review
