Well it took upwards of a year, but I finally have completed
the epic Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time 50th Anniversary miniseries
by IDW. It was so very much worth the wait. In this volume, the identity of who
was kidnapping the Doctor’s companions from the time stream is finally
revealed. I wouldn’t in a million years have guessed who it was. I won’t reveal
who, but I’ll give you a hint: this modern era companion is one that Whovians
often refused to talk about. (Need more clues, go to the Doctor Who Hub on Facebook
and looks for the companion we “don’t talk about.”)
Anyway, the art was fantastic and I was glad to finally read
issue 12 after getting some top secret hints from that issue’s artist, Kelly
Yates. Plus, in that issue, all 11 Doctors converge with just about every
companion imaginable to defeat this top secret villain and his even more super-secret
partner. Sorry, John Hurt fans, there’s no War Doctor in this book!
This was a fantastic finish to a wonderful series that had a
marvelous mystery to unravel. It’s truly a love letter to the world’s longest
running science fiction television program and proof that IDW should be allowed
to renew their licensing agreement with the BBC and continue producing more
classic Who stories for generations to come!
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 10 out of 10 stars!
