Free Doctor Who Series 2 Volume 3: It Came From Outer Space Edited By Tony Lee Kindle

Squid” is fun mostly for its inclusion of Kevin, but otherwise is pretty forgettable/, “Body Switched” feels equally light, with its main strength being the body switching premise, which is never used to particularly great effect/.
“Silent Knight” is totally shallow but fun amp funny its actually a comic without words done well, which is pretty rare/, Flakovs “Run, Doctor, Run” is unfortunately even more shallow, so that theres nothing to it/, The last two stories, “Down to Earth” and “Tuesday” are both wellwritten and enjoyable, though Im not convinced Ill particularly remember them/

Overall, this whole volume seems quite forgettable.
Sadly, I dont think Series II has been as good as Series I, primarily because of its unlinked, short stories, The Doctor, Amy, Rory, and new travelling companion Kevin a cybernetic dinosaur find a scientific crew under attack from a giant, Cthulhloid space squid.
Also, the crew find themselves inside an alien asylum and discover that many of the human patients within actually house the minds of some of the Doctor's most terrifying enemies.
Excellent collection ofadditional Doctor Who adventures in graphic novel format, all taking place with Doctor, Amy Pond, amp Rory, My personal favorite moments were when Amy amp The Doctor switch bodies, and when Amy raises an army to defeat evil using only a spork! :.

Good stories let down by poor artwork, The third installment was wonderful, full of awesome stories, The first is "Space Squid" which is about, well, a giant space squid, Team TARDIS has picked up a new companion too, . . a robotic TRex named Kevin, The other stories are "Body Snatched" in which there is some pretty crazy/funny body switching, "Silent Knight" a short one with no dialogue about the Doctor saving Christmas, "Run, Doctor, Run" where the Doctor meets a race of gravitational shifters think M.
C. Escher, "Down to Earth" about a formerhostile alien the Doctor finds living in a quaint country town was really quite sweet, and "Tuesday" which is about Amy writing home to her mom about all of her adventures.
All in all, pretty great, I love these comics to pieces, This is just what I wanted in a Doctor Who collection: a variety of stories and artwork, Not every plotline was amazing, but I loved the fact that there were several shorter, selfcontained stories in this volume, Definitely my favourite one yet, Doctor Who: It Came from Outer Space features several shorter stories, including an alien squid cult leader, an adventure with Santa, and an alien in a cloaking disguise who has enmeshed himself into smalltown Earth life.


Like most Doctor Who comics, it is way lime compared to an episode of Doctor Who, Matt Smith isnt as clever, Amy and Rory arent as charming, And yet, I keep reading, hoping that this volume will be different, Because of their length and relative ease to read, I am much more willing to read an unamazing graphic novel than I am an unamazing novel.
AWESOME!!! Natasha and I have been really enjoying these, Kevin is now my favorite character, I recommend the graphic novels and the only associated novel I've so far read, sitelinkDoctor Who: Plague of the Cybermen, as well as the show itself and the vigorous fandom of Twitter as a good sharedfamily sort of interest.
Veronica loves the show, but prefers her reading more contemporary and realistic, The graphic novels are providing a good way for me to keep in parallel with Natasha, even though I'm mostly not reading to

her anymore.


Yes, I'm following in the footsteps of sitelinkNeil Gaiman and sharing our multigenerational fandom,

Library copy. The largest portion of the book, the story illustrated by Michael Dow Smith is terrific, He's a wonderful artist, very Mike Mignolaesque, And that story is just as good as you'd see on TV, The other stories are forgettable fluff, This is six “short stories” about the Eleventh Doctor told as graphic novels, some have better stories than others, some have jarring art.
“Space Squid” has a robot t rex traveling with Rory, Amy and the Doctor, named Kevin, “Body Snatched” has the Doctors and Amys personalities switched and this is one whose art I dont like, “Silent Knight” is a nearly wordless adventure where the Doctor and Santa help each other out, I absolutely love the "Kevin" story, So much fun! Dinosaurs hooray! Gotta love the Eleventh Doctor in comic book form, Comic books are cool!BooksofChristmas Oh, where do I start Well, I picked this one up because I love Doctor Who and I love graphic novels.
Plus it the Eleventh Doctor, so why not I'm also a big fan of Tony Lee's work, so it was bound to be good, right Yeah, not really.
. .

I start reading the first story, "Space Squid," and a few pages in we are introduced to Commander KATIC and Major FILLION.
My first thought is, huh, . . someone's a "Castle" fan. Slightly annoyed thatLee couldn't be bothered to create original character names, andhe underestimated his readers by thinking we wouldn't catch on, I kept reading.
Only to find a Lieutenant HUERTAS, Petty Officer DEVER, and Ensign QUINN, Really, Tony Lee I'm sure if the cast of "Castle" knows about this, they think it's pretty cool to be included in a Doctor Who graphic novel maybe, but for me it was pretty lame.


Overall, the energy of Doctor Who that I love so much just didn't translate well into graphic novel form, The characters were flat and the humor was awkward, There were times where the dialogue and artwork were more indicative of the Ninth or Tenth Doctor, which I found unfortunate because Matt Smith is so distinct.
Some of the stories were better than others, but I think I'll stick with watching episodes on Netflix during the show's hiatus rather than reading another one of these.
