It’s rare that a Doctor Who comic manages to deliver the quantity of new and original ideas that this one does. Alternate reality stories have become a well worn trend in recent years, but here it feels fresh, and a way of providing a compelling “what if?” scenario.

What if The Doctor and the Brigadier died in and around the time of Doctor Who and the Silurians? What if Silurians had been living side-by-side with humans and this was under threat? What if another version of The Doctor traveled across universes to save the day?

It is a story that succeeds on every level and for me is one of the all time classic comic stories, given its various twists and turns.

Separately, it’s a relief to see Ace in the TARDIS again. McCoy’s Doctor sings that little bit better with her in the picture, even if it is the “badass” version.

This was a genuinely great read.  I loved this take on the Silurians as we see an alternate Earth where the Sea Devils, Silurian, and human races have all united and are living peacefully.  But all is not well, as the Doctor of this universe has been assassinated and monsters are brutally attacking all over.  So the Seventh Doctor of the Prime Universe, Ace, and Benny all come to this alternate reality to investigate.  I love the creativity of this setting and it is realized visually by a tremendous artist named Colin Andrew.  It would be almost perfect, but the villain and confrontation around him was definitely underwhelming, while some of the dialogue and pacing were a little off.  Still an outstanding read and definitely worth anyone's time just because of how fun an idea it is and how cool Ace gets to be in the first couple parts of the story.
