<\/a><\/p>\nIDW is bringing back all 11 Doctors for the big 50th<\/sup> Anniversary this year.\u00a0 The first issue begins by introducing a mysterious villain that seeks to take away The Doctor\u2019s companions as part of a plan to destroy The Doctor.\u00a0 We then move onto a story featuring The First Doctor along with Ian, Barbara, and Vicky.\u00a0 They are traveling to the year 1868 to meet with Thomas Huxley who has invited them to a lecture.\u00a0 The discussion between the characters is cut short when The Doctor learns that some of Huxley\u2019s students have disappeared.\u00a0 Thus, a rescue mission begins with The Doctor facing a classic enemy from the 60s.\u00a0 The story concludes with a minor cliffhanger that hints at the overarching story of the series.<\/p>\n The writing did fit with the style from the early seasons of the TV show with one major exception.\u00a0 On a number of occasions The Doctor mispronounces Ian\u2019s last name.\u00a0 If you are a fan of the old series then you probably know that The First Doctor had respect for Ian after some of the early adventures.\u00a0 It is really out of character for The Doctor to not call Ian by either name properly.\u00a0 They were the two main heroes of the early seasons thus it feels odd having The Doctor insult Ian.\u00a0 Also, in this story the companions really did nothing while in the old show they often solved as many problems as The Doctor.\u00a0 Beyond those minor gripes all the characters did have accurate mannerisms and it was nice seeing The First Doctor in action once again.<\/p>\n The art is above average, but has several flaws.\u00a0 The first flaw is that the art is very plain.\u00a0 While the early seasons where almost entirely done on sound stages they were still decently decorated.\u00a0 So, if this is meant to be a throwback it does not fit with the bland designs.\u00a0 If it is not a throwback then it is lazy and unpolished, either way this is a flaw.\u00a0 Some of the facial expressions look really silly and sometimes do not really fit the situation the character is facing.\u00a0 On the good side the characters do look like the original actors, the Zarbi look well drawn.\u00a0 In addition, the action (what little there is) looks passable and show potential.\u00a0 The art does not ruin this issue, but it would be nice to see it improve.<\/p>\n This issue will make fans of the old school Doctor Who seasons happy despite the flaws.\u00a0 It is nice to see some classic characters in the comics, which is something that should happen more often.\u00a0 As this story will follow the different incarnations it is hard to say if this will remain an interesting series.\u00a0 However, with the possibility of The Doctors teaming up to face the mysterious villain it could have an exciting ending.\u00a0 It would have been nice if the writing and art were a little cleaned up and accurate, but most falws can be overlooked.\u00a0 If you are a new school fan this is a great way to get introduced to the classic characters if you are an old school fan this is the best you are going to get beyond the \u201cDoctor Who Classics\u201d that are released from time to time.<\/p>\n Final Verdict:<\/p>\n 4 out of 5 \u2013 One of the better Doctor Who comics I have read<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time #1 Writer \u2013 Scott & David Tipton Artist \u2013 Simon Fraser IDW is bringing back all 11 Doctors for the big 50th Anniversary this year.\u00a0 The first issue begins by introducing a mysterious villain that…<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
