The one redeeming feature about this month's DWM is the comic strip. It looks like some kind of subplot has kicked off, which is nice. After the Dan McDaid helmed 10th Doctor stuff I had worried we would be stuck with more safe stories for a while.

Apparently this months DWM causes such a hostile reaction from the continumn that the very universe itself is trying to retro-annul it. I have yet to see this months issue in any of my usual stockists. Perhaps it is just going to shamble in a little late at the beginning of the week, but it has proven unusually absent so far. Karl In other Who-related news I have managed to obtain a copy of DWM, Tesco appears to be the only place that has it this month. It was....... unimpressive this issue. (I also think the feature articles premise is somewhat too thin to hang that many pages on). Karl |

Very happy to see the Watcher's column return in DWM. Though the point of the new Time Team escapes me. Nowt against the new Team (they're perfectly fine), but if the original lot decided to call it a day (confirmed by the Editor on OG) it was best to leave it there I thought the whole point was to have the same folk watch Who from start to finish.

Finished reading The Glorious Dead tpb which I picked up the other weekend. Decent enough, I remember not being very impressed with the tales at the time, but appreciating them more on a re-read. Same really; it feels very much 'same old same old' whilst at the same time being a quite long 'epic' arc. Still, Kroton the Cyberman was welcome, I forgot about him!
Not nearly as good as Endgame though. I bloody loved those stories at the time, and still do now. Now, THAT was a time when the DWM comic was THE thing in Whodom! Now people barely mention it (of course we have a lot more media and are pretty spoilt, but there was some genuinely mind-blowing stuff in it). You know what I'm talking about!

Hmmmm, Endgame was ok, but the strip really took off with The Glorious Dead!

Kroton's initial appearances - along with the other back up strips from DW Weekly - desparately need reprinting & compiling.

So they are! Never knew that. Well they need to be reprinted with the rest, there's some brilliant work in there.

Burns has cost me more money. He made me buy last week's Doctor Who Adventures for the free Dalek army. So this week I had to buy it for the Cybusmen and Sontarans.

I considered buying the Dalek army. I wonder if my decision not to would have been different if I'd known there'd be more figures.

I know some of you will defer reading the latest DWM till the first episode airs, but I have to say Adrian Salmon's work on the comic story this month is fantastic. He really knocks it out of the park with this.

In the Meantime I was wondering where my DWM is. It usually appears on Weds before publication but didn't today. According to the DWM Office they went in the post yesterday.

New DWM includes Nick Courtney tribute and Inferno Fact of Fiction. Top Issue. It in indeed superb, from the cover onwards. I defy any long-term fan not to get a lump in their throat. Some audio of Tennant and Lord Tom's bits: benjamincook.net/2011/06/doctor-who-magazine-436/-Ralph |

I have picked up DWM but not opened it. It has gone into my bag as train reading for tomorrow. I shall read the Courtney tribute on my train southwards, I fully expect that it will be with a certain sadness.

New DWM's here. Cracking 3 page tribute to Roy Skelton. And some commentary news: Both Michael Briant and Graeme Harper* on the Colony in Space team. That's going to be cracking!
* Colony is Harper's DW debut as AFM

*Burn's earliest Doctor Who memory is of the Cybermen bursting out of the wall on the spaceship in part 3. Also, it is one of my earliest memories full stop as I was 3 and a bit at the time. This explains much.

My earliest reliable Doctor Who memory is of Logopolis Episode 1 - most specifically the sight of the white, ill-defined and eerie form of The Watcher.
I must have seen earlier material in some way though as I remember a bad dream from when I was much younger which featured beings made of mud smashing through the walls of a spaceship - possibly a garbled recollection of Mandrells crossed with something from a Flash Gordon serial, or alternatively a brief glimpse of Alzarian Marshmen.
Earthshock was the first time I had seen Cybermen onscreen - although they had sounded quite awesome beings, so they lived up to expectations when I realised in shock what they were (of course I later learned that previous Cybermen were not quite as awe-inspiring as I had thought and sometimes had even rubbisher plans than the Earthshock versions. Strangely this just made me like them more).
