This is definitely the best comic to feature the Silurians, at least going by what's currently on TARDIS guide. It's a great, albeit short, little take on the origins of the Silurians, looking into how and why they chose to go into a deep slumber millennia ago. Aside from three brief panels of narration by the Doctor, he is otherwise absent from the story entirely focused on what the Silurians were. We're often told of their greatness but it is so cool to actually see it on display with some very creative artwork overall evoking a race with advanced technology. They really feel like a society with good and bad people right and wrong about a number of critical matters, both factually and morally, and it is cool seeing these characters debate such things and figure out what to do as a horrible disaster approaches Earth. My only complaint it is that it is a little short and insubstantial. There's enough going on here that's it is entertaining given it is only in two short parts, but it is not much more complicated than a sort of alternate version of the Planet of the Apes film, which seemed to inspire a lot of the content here. I liked it and would absolutely recommend it, though, for sure. This is one of the better Silurian stories I have encountered thus far. dema1020 View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
