It's funny to remember that those Stories were made with a mindset to be simply short entertainment for british Kids in the 60s, but no, it's Doctor Who, so of course there are enough insane People to read them all those years later. Would be almost silly to look closer at them and digest them, right? Right..?!
You thought wrong. My Boredom has found its way to a new Review, in this Review I will explain EVERYTHING WRONG with 'Rescured from the Daleks´, which it's one of the worst Who Stories EVER and name-drop so many Things for the funsies!
Chapter I: Why so serious?
"But Random, it's a random-forgotten Kids Comic from the 60s, not really thought to be read all those years later by hardcore fans!" While you, dear Viewer, would be correct in saying this, you must really remember one thing: We are Doctor Who Fans, and we are going to take it as serious as anything. So please don't talk to me about taking a silly Tie-in comic too seriously, if anything, I am not taking it seriously ENOUGH! It's kinda like the Power Rangers, often seen as silly unserious Entertainment, but there are a lot more teeth to the Power Rangers than you might think. For example did you know that most if not all Shows take place in the same Universe? Bet you didn't!
Chapter II: Actually, I am not serious.
Have you ever watched the Beatles animated Film 'Yellow Submarine', it's the one with the blue meanies and some very surreal Moments, it's a very good Film and I recommend it. Oh right, that doesn't have anything to do with the Matter at the hand, eh? But you see this is a Dalek Story and what Decade was the 60s for the daleks? Dalekmania. And what is the Decade of the 60s as well? Bond-mania? Well I guess. Batmania. Well, I mean, Adam West is the second best Live-Action Batman, so he deserves it. But no, I am talking about Beatlesmania! While there are no Beatles appearing in this Story, they would appear in quite a few other Stories, most notably in the Chase and the Devil's Chord. So yeah, the Daleks are actually the Beatles.
Chapter III: Who is winning against the Daleks?
The Daleks are a big menace, you'd have to get somebody with a certain presence to them to really be believable against the Daleks, otherwise you quickly turn them into a Joke, and sadly they feel very much done dirty here. While there have been quite a few Stories where the Daleks were mocked, at least then they were fought by Dracula and all those. What's your excuse, Kenner? Why is there no Romana killing a Dalek here? Or Eighth Doctor being messed up again and doing it? Or unlimited rice pudding? Or Katarina from Greek? Or Narvin? Or Mr. Rogers? Or Chuck N- Oh no, I am not doing those Jokes now. What am I? Stuck in the 2000s? No! Never! No! Nein!
Chapter 4: Why is the first Doctor not interesting here??!?!
The biggest Sin of this fairly unremarkable, boring Comic. You. do. not. make. me. bored. of. the. first. doctor. That's not how it is suppose to go!
Chapter 9: Please do read the Big Finish Short Trips instead of those short Comics, I know they are very short and easy to get your Numbers higher and up, but sadly this one is really boring and trying to make more out of it is hard, anyway you should read more Polly Short Trips (Congrats to those who get it, you are the true Whovians.. Who's? Uhh IDK just imagine a cooler Name for you, guys!
Sadly this Story is fairly boring, the Art is meh and the Use of Color feels lazy, the Daleks are just there, the TARDIS Team is just there, the Dialogue is just there and that's probably the best way to describe it, it's just there. Really why did I write this Review, it's not very funny is it? Oh sorry.. anyway uhh 0.5/5 yeah not good!
