This one actually has a bit of meat to it. It's not outstanding, but it is solid. And surprisingly feels like a retread of Fires of Pompeii a couple years early as the Doctor stop fire-and-silicon-based aliens from destorying the Earth at the cost of Krakatoa.

Kind of fun in a mid-2000s action cartoon way, but unfortunately lowkey not beating the "little bit racist" allegations.

Another basic, underdeveloped story, but risen by a slightly more interesting villain, and nice link to real events.

Under Volcano is just boring. I am not going to sugarcoat, this is just boring. And I can excuse bad Doctor Who, I cannot excuse boring Doctor Who.
Doctor Who should never be boring.

DWA COMICS: STORY 3 (Tenth Doctor: Story 3)

When going into Under the Volcano, I thought that this would be in the same vein as The Fires of Pompeii, and to be honest, it is. But it’s worse.

I don’t recall much about this comic, so I will be using the faint memories I have. Oh, and I only read it a few days ago.

The story is dull, with a very basic and average plot.

If there is one thing I like about Doctor Who Adventures comics, it’s the fact that they at least have interesting concepts. This one doesn’t.

I would not recommend this story, as it is, quite simply, an utter waste of time.

But if you feel compelled to read it, if you’re trying to complete all of the DWA strips, like me, or you’re just insane, also like me, then I suppose no harm will be done. After all, you won’t remember it!
