Dreadnought is the first comic in a short series of Eighth Doctor Radio Times strips, all penned by Alan Barnes. 

These comics star an original companion called Stacy Townsend, who sadly does not do anything to capture the readers in her debut story. There is absolutely nothing special about her. 

Aside from a very forgettable companion, what does Dreadnought have to offer? 

Well, apart from more of the Eighth Doctor, not much. 

It seems like the Cybermen are intended to be the strip’s highlight, but they don’t excite or interest me as they do in their other appearances. 

We do get some good artwork though, which almost makes up for the very basic story. 

At the end of Dreadnought, Stacy joins the Doctor in the TARDIS, and they head off into new adventures... 

But will they be any good?
