Review of The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone by DontBlink

30 April 2025

I have rather mixed opinions on The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone.

As with most of the stories in The Missy Chronicles, Missy's characterisation is on point.

But this short story's main problem is that it is a short story.

It feels like Peter Anghelides has a lot of stuff he wants to cram in here, but there simply isn't enough room to allow the story to breathe.

There are a lot of elements that could make for a good novel, but it all gets a bit muddled here.

However, I'm not saying this story is poorly written. Just because something is messy doesn't mean it's not enjoyable, and that is certainly the case with The Liar, the Glitch and the War Zone.

It is not a perfect story, but it's good fun.

Unfortunately, if you're like me, and the only reason you bought The Missy Chronicles is because of the Thirteenth Doctor's appearance in this short story, prepare to be disappointed. She only makes a tiny cameo here.

But The Missy Chronicles is still a really high quality anthology, and while Liar isn't the greatest story here, it's still good.

Review of Tardisode 3 by DontBlink

TARDISODES: STORY 3

This Tardisode, made to tease School Reunion, is good enough, but it has problems.

It's nice to see Mickey, and the reference to Torchwood is fun, but the random shot of a Krillitane at the end is very unnecessary.

Review of Tardisode 2 by DontBlink

TARDISODES: STORY 2

This second Tardisode, a prequel to Tooth and Claw, is a bit rubbish.

It has a good concept, but it just fumbles the execution, resulting in a very 'meh' minisode.

Review of Tardisode 1 by DontBlink

25 February 2025

TARDISODES: STORY 1

This is the first of the Tardisodes, a series of very short minisodes made to promote each episode of the 2006 series of Doctor Who.

Tardisode 1 accompanies New Earth. It is presented as an advertisement made for the New Earth hospital.

It's really nothing special, it's just some promo material.

It is always nice to have some more Catkind content though!

Review of The Last Dalek by DontBlink

25 February 2025

This review contains spoilers!

It's very hard to review The Last Dalek, but I'll give it a go.

In this game, you play as 'The Last Dalek' from the TV episode Dalek.

You essentially re-enact the episode, but things do take a bit of a dark turn when you exterminate the Doctor and steal the TARDIS at the end of the game!

Review of Invasion of the Daleks by DontBlink

25 February 2025

THE DALEK BOOK: STORY 2

Invasion of the Daleks is a comic strip that, while relatively basic, sets things up for the following stories in this book.

The three main characters aren't the most interesting, and the story isn't extremely exciting, but it serves it's purpose.

Review of Dalek Planetarium by DontBlink

THE DALEK BOOK: STORY 1

Dalek Planetarium isn't anything special.

It's just some nice artwork of some Daleks looking at planets.

Review of Growing Terror by DontBlink

19 February 2025

BATTLES IN TIME: STORY 1

I hardly remember this comic, so that's not a good sign.

This is the start of a six-part story which is essentially a sequel to The End of the World.

The comic has an odd premise, which unfortunately doesn't work to the story's favour.

Underwhelming.

Review of The Horn of a Dilemma by DontBlink

19 February 2025

This review contains spoilers!

DOOM'S DAY: HOUR 5 (Four Hours of Doom's Day: Comic 4)

DWM's contribution to Doom's Day comes to a close with their best offering yet (although that's not saying much).

It's a comic that is actually enjoyable, with a fun enough plot, and a lovely guest appearance from Jo Grant.

Overall, these Four Hours of Doom's Day haven't been very good, but I look forward to Doom's next adventure, a comic from TITAN.

Review of High Noon in Hollywood by DontBlink

19 February 2025

DOOM'S DAY: HOUR 4 (Four Hours of Doom's Day: Comic 3)

I really did not like this one.

These comics are not being given the time they need to tell their story, which results in a rushed, dissatisfying story.
