Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Vol. 1: Revolutions of Terror (Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor, #1)

Summary:

What would you do if all the washing machines at your work suddenly spewed out what looked like a magical vortex, leaving nothing but a watery mess behind? Yeah, you'd probably think you hallucinated too.

But when the Doctor shows up, we all know that something is going down – and that humanity will likely need his intervention to make it through.

Review:

We all have a favorite Doctor, right? For me, it will always be the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant for the twin). So obviously, when I realized a graphic novel series was available, I had to dive right in. This way, I can pretend that his run lasts a little longer. Just a bit.

Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Vol. 1: Revolutions of Terror may be a long title, but you have to admit, it does catch your eye. Granted, I never would have guessed that the revolutions of terror were at least partially referring to a laundromat...but that's Doctor Who for you, right?

Revolutions of Terror is a quick and fun read. It introduces us to a new human protagonist – Gabriella Gonzalez, and I must admit, I love her. Her backstory is pretty relatable, as she deals with the familial pressure to do a million things at once (and none of those things are what she wants, of course).

As for the artwork...it's fantastic. Look at that cover! I love those colors. They're, well, fun! But they also fit the overall aesthetic for Doctor Who, so I'm never going to complain about that. The creatures of this plot totally stole the show, though, and when you read it, you'll see why I say that.
I will have to try and get my hands on the rest of this series...and maybe the other graphic novel stories for the other Doctors. We'll see how I feel.
