What a great start to the Tenth Doctor series. The plot was relatively simple but imaginative. The ideas explored are something that could fit easily into the show. It didn't feel out of place within established Doctor Who lore, with a quick setup, decent pace and satisfying resolution. The characters felt right. The Tenth Doctor seemed to fit with what we know, and Gabriella 'Gabby' Gonzalez seem like she could work well as a companion. The art was solid, even if sometimes Tenth looked a little off model where usually he looked like Tennent. Quick and worthy addition to the lore of Ten.

Wow, what a treat. I checked this out wanting to learn more about Gabby, a comic exclusive companion I've seen crop up a few times, and so Revolutions of Terror really proved to be an exceptional proper introduction to the character I quite enjoyed on most every level.

The overall plot is pretty great - it is not only creative, but full of some very savvy details that blend very well into the continuity of Doctor Who. This goes on a couple of levels - at the most basic, there are many references as the Doctor is battling psychic entities in this story that manifest some of his greatest fears - like the Weeping Angels or Sutekh. On a deeper level, this story has a good sense of where the Doctor is emotionally - between the Waters of Mars and End of Time where he was normally avoiding companions. It also really does a good job at explaining how psychic phenomenon might work in the Doctor Who universe, introducing this concept of a psychosphere - a sort of psychic field on Earth no different than our atmosphere that can affect all living things on the planet. That really blends nicely with stories like Sound of Drums so I appreciated the details here.

Gabby is also quite exceptional as a companion. We get a decent sense of her life, her family, her perspective on things - at least a lot more than your average companion introduction story. It's done pretty well even if it does kind of make her super-special companion-worthy like so many others in the New Who era by the end. Plus it is a lot of fun to have a character unapologetically American, and as a member of a Latinx family living in New York, that really made her feel like a bit of a stand-out compared to most any other companion in Who history.

The weakest aspect to this comic is the dialogue though - it is hard to get Ten's voice down right and this comic often makes him feel a lot cringier than David Tennant ever really was in the show.

I also really like the art in this comic. Some panels are more detailed than others and that can affect the presence of some characters like Gabby's dad pretty heavily, but there is a lot of creativity to the visuals and a lot of cool covers along the way. Overall this was a very impressive three issues and left me excited to see what other adventures Ten and Gabby have gone on.

Relatively simple, but thoroughly enjoyable, will say I wasn’t 100% convinced on a modern day american companion at first, but Gabby ends up being great and completely disuaded any fears I might have. One thing that I really appreciate about the RTD era is how human companions feel, and how you get a peek into their home life, and that’s done here really well. Her conflict with her family is there and is a big part of things, but you can still tell how much she loves them and I love how the resolution to that ended up tying into the plot’s general resolution.

Also having an artist as a companion for a comic is a really fun idea, and while they get more into it in The Arts in Space, I do love when they do here as well.

Gabby is a surprisingly rich and detailed companion straight out of the gates. I immediately warmed to her and got a sense of her and her families’ life - and what is missing from her life. She is a great match for the 10th Doctor.

The emotion monsters have been done before, but these were done especially well. The introduction of psychic, non-corporal aliens with a psychedelic edge is pretty cool and allows for some gorgeous visuals.

The story acts as a showcase of all the ways in which Gabby has untapped talent which would make her the perfect companion. There is a genuine sense of excitement as she steps onboard the TARDIS to go off on her first adventure!

I really warmed to Gabby straight away, she's got a lot of depth just from this one story. I think my problems with Titan are that their recent stuff always seems to be nostalgia focused whereas this, this is what I want. New stories, not reliant on the past, references sure but not in every story! Nice intro to this new companion/era.
