Doctor Who: Titan Comics Eleventh Doctor Issue One Review

Well, that's a mouthful of a title, innit? I honestly didn't know what else to name it if I'm perfectly honest,

heh...Well, anyway, some of you may know I'm a fan of the Eleventh Doctor and seeing as how Eleven is my favorite (and I'm still not over the episode that shall not be named/aka the Christmas special), I got really excited today when me and my Dad found issue one for Titan Comics' Doctor Who run in our local comic store (well, I say local). Luckily, we were able to get it. So, I'm reviewing the first issue! Which you could probably guess from the title of this post. Onwards!

Story and Art By:

Synopsis:
After a long month of nothing buy misery for Alice Obiefune, she stumbles into a whole different world full of adventure and excitement when she runs into a strange man in a tweed jacket and bow-tie, who is currently trying to find an alien rainbow dog which is loose on the streets of London. Can the two of them work out how to stop the alien?

Review:
Admittedly, I wasn't sure how well the new comics would be. The only DW comics I ever read came from IDW, so I didn't know if the new ones would be just as good. Turns out, they were! While to some, the story in this one (particularly the alien) might've seemed silly, but silly works with Doctor Who, especially when the Doctor in question is Eleven. The character Alice is interesting, and I'm curious to see how her story will continue and there also seems to be a mystery about in these comics, so that's even more curious. There's not much negative about this comic, though the art could have been better at times (particularly in the case of the artwork for the Doctor) but beyond that the story was really good. Also, the cover that went with the one I got was absolutely gorgeous (so much blue, and beautiful background pictures) that the picture above just did not capture. I like that there are little comics strips at the end of the comic, so once you're done with one comic, you've got extra to read! I'm really curious to see if this will continue. Will I continue to collect these? Duh! I really want to see where the Doc takes Alice for her first adventure in the TARDIS!
