This is one of the most evocative comics strips I have ever read. It’s bold and “dark” but in a camp and cartoony way. It represents a significant quality jump from the last story!

Absolm Daak is a magnificent creation and the team have done a fantastic job of rekindling his flame here. He is another protagonist who stands tall side by side with The Doctor, but one who has a totally opposing approach in how to deal with the Daleks.

The art here rivals the best of any comics I’ve ever seen. The glint in Absolm’s eye when you first set eyes on him, the murderous rage, paired with a dramatic, moody narrative voice. The sight of him slicing a Dalek in half from top to bottom is wild. He wanders into an echoing chamber, is confronted by a Dalek before ripping its sucker off and staring straight down its lens.
