Aren't very good? How very dare you. Try telling Rusty Davies that, he turned one into a TV show you know! Yup. He took a slight and crap comic story that could barely sustain its length and turned it into a slight and crap TV story that could barely sustain its length. Not even Rusty T is immune from Nostalgia Goggles. The novelisation is surprisingly decent though! -Ralph

I don't mind the early Wagner/Mills Who stuff, but it definitely isn't until the 5th Doctor stuff that it really picks up pace.
Agree with Ralph, the 6th and 8th Doctor runs are the peak.
7 suffers from the same thing the tv show did, played like a buffoon, and then course corrects when the Cartmel influence really picks up, but the lead time meant that's an age in monthly books.
9 was good, but brief, but no out and out bangers to speak of.
10 was grand, I think when Dan McDaid took over the writing it really hit it's stride.
11 - solid, but I don't think ever had a really cracking story, 12 - same really 13 - a mixed bag, and I didn't read a huge amount as it coincided with the biggest drop in quality for DWM 14 - like 9 a nice contained run, doing one single story was a fun move and really enjoyable 15 - we shall see...

It was not crap! And neither is the comic!
Next you'll be saying The Iron Legion is no good either.
Those three new target books are due here today. I think. They will be read forthwith.

The Iron Legion is not good. Comic 4th Doc is just too goofy.

I am disappointed.
However, the 14th Doc Targets did arrive today. Signed editions from Forbidden Planet proved cheaper than Amazon.

I'm just so glad Gary Russell was assigned The Star Beast rather than The Giggle.
Just imagine. It would have been Divided Loyalties II.

Hmm. I thought the editorial changes in DWM were going well but I just realised the in-depth previews of the Blu-ray sets have been dropped. No disc by disc breakdown for season 15. I find those MASSIVELY useful for identifying what the new extras are. I use a copy as a tick list while watching.
Disappointing. Unless Ralph can do what he did before when Phil thought the fact of fiction section was missing and pointed out it actually wasn't. Save me Ralph!
