Review by Library Journal Review

The time-traveling, space-wandering, and identity-shifting hero called the Doctor has starred in many original prose, audio, and comics adventures beyond his much-loved BBC TV series. This book, one of the first following Titan's takeover of the U.S. Doctor Who comics license from IDW, introduces a new companion for the Doctor: Mexican American, college-age Gabriella Gonzalez, a budding artist who feels trapped by her father's insistence that she work for the family business. She's thrown into peril and must aid the Doctor after her family's laundromat becomes a portal to Earth for telepathic aliens that feed on (and create) fear. In the second tale, a charmer with a creepy center, the Doctor and -Gabriella visit a great artist who's become mysteriously reclusive. Abadzis (an Eisner Award winner for Laika) exhibits fine ideas and a gift for technojargon, works in many references to previous Doctor Who stories, and absolutely nails both the show's style and tone and the Tenth Doctor's personality: fast-talking and jokey but tough-minded and haunted, with a desire to share the wonders of the universe. VERDICT A winner that fans will embrace.-S.R. © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

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.
