Review by Library Journal Review

The creative team of writers Ewing (Loki) and Williams (The Royals) and artists Fraser (Nikolai Dante) and Boo Cook (Elephantmen) brings to life fresh stories of Matt Smith's Doctor Who, complete with an engaging new companion. Library assistant Alice Obiefune's mother has recently passed away, and Alice's life is in a dark place, until, one day, she meets a rainbow dog fleeing from a tall man in a bow tie. The Doctor senses her pain right away and, in response, offers to take her on a trip to someplace wonderful, the perfect planet of Rokhandi. When they arrive, however, they find that it has been converted to a disappointing theme park run by Serveyouinc. Alice and the Doctor run afoul of Serveyouinc in 1931 Mississippi and later in a remote space station, picking up a not-quite-proto David Bowie along the way. Fraser and Cook have done a fine job re-creating Smith's very recognizable face as well as the new companion, Alice, while at the same time conjuring bizarre aliens and entities worthy of the Doctor Who show. Verdict Fans of Doctor Who should enjoy these latest adventures, as will any graphic novel reader who prefers their sf with a dose of whimsy.-Eric Norton, McMillan Memorial Lib., Wisconsin Rapids © Copyright 2015.

Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 7 Up-The Doctor returns for two new adventures in time and space in these graphic novels featuring the 10th and 11th incarnations of everybody's favorite time-traveling alien. In Revolutions of Terror, Gabriella Gonzalez dreams of a life outside the family business and a break from the yoke of her father's relentless work ethic. When strange things start happening around her neighborhood and an even stranger pinstripe-wearing man shows up at her family diner, Gabby soon finds herself running for her life and fighting to save the world. After Life introduces Alice, a young woman struggling to keep a roof over her head and her hopes alive. After a chance encounter with a bow-tied stranger, Alice finds herself hunting for a rainbow dog, facing down aliens, and traveling the galaxy in a familiar blue box. Readers new to Doctor Who will appreciate the stand-alone feel of these two titles; neither book requires significant knowledge of the series to be enjoyed. Different artists and authors give each volume a slightly unique look and feel, with illustrations ranging from caricature to realism. Both Alice and Gabby slip into the role of companion nicely, and the manic energy of the 10th and 11th Doctors are captured well by the artists, though David Tennant is depicted more effectively than Matt Smith. VERDICT For libraries that have a large Doctor Who following, these two volumes will be excellent and popular additions to the stacks.-Clair Segal, LREI, New York City © Copyright 2015.
