TARDIS Synopsis The Seventh Doctor is brooding when Ace asks him about his "old study", which they head for. He wonders why he hasn't been able to take his TARDIS away from Earth recently, and why they've encountered creatures that should never have been there. When they arrive at the "study", it's actually the secondary control room, and he remembers when he previously used it. After all this time, a part of the Mandragora Helix is still aboard the TARDIS, and the Doctor fears it is now powerful enough to direct the path of the TARDIS as well as draw other forces to Earth. As, he and Ace leave the control room, helix energy crackles into life.

I did like it. (These panels also have a little bit of the vibe of one of the audition scenes McCoy had to take for getting the role of the Seventh Doctor. Nicely done.) The Art The first panel sees the TARDIS flying through the time vortex, using the “howl-around” effect from the first intro sequence to visualize the vortex. Wicked! It’s the same artists as in the prelude before, but this time I really like what they did. Maybe drawing the interior of the TARDIS played more to their strengths. Perhaps their way of drawing emotions into faces just works better with the right backdrop. Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
