Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Vol. 1 Kindle & comiXology
The Tenth Doctor thought he was done with new companions after Donna's tragic exit — but that was before he met Gabriella ‘Gabby' Gonzalez during an incursion of psychic parasites in Brooklyn, New York!
Stuck running her father's Laundromat, Gabby always dreamed of horizons beyond Sunset Park — whether that was going to college, making it as an artist, or just escaping her life for a while.
Now she's traveling the cosmos as the Doctor's latest companion — and life couldn't be more exciting!
Battling invisible creatures on the Day of the Dead, uncovering a galactic conspiracy in the universe's most famous art gallery... the only downside is the constant threat of death!

Trigger Warnings: some violence, alien invasion
First, the cover artwork by Alice X. Zhang is simply gorgeous! I hope to see some more of her artwork in future Doctor Who issues by Titan.
As for the two separate stories, I find Nick Abadzis to be an excellent writer. There are times I felt that a certain page was a bit too wordy but he does bring such depth to the story through his writing. There were a few scenes which I felt were clearly a rip-off from "Rose", such as the Doctor telling Gabby to forget him after their first encounter. I absolutely loved how the second story was told which was through Gabby's journal. Very original and unique approach in writing comic books! There were times that I've found Gabby's small handwriting hard on the eyes but I found the handwritten texts very refreshing, considering the art of handwriting is becoming a lost art in today's generation. Handwriting brings out so much of a person's personality.
Elena Casagrande, the artist of both stories, did a marvelous job drawing out the stories. She had the knack of making the story almost seamless through her artwork. I think she truly succeeded in capturing Tennant's likeness, something that Simon Fraser and Boo Cook have failed in with their Doctor, the Smith Doctor. Arianna Florean's coloring - such bold and vibrant colors. Her work really compliments Elena's work really well! More Elena and Arianna please!
Looking forward to the next volume!
That said, I decided to read the comic as a starting point to get an understanding of what the series is all about. It has all the elements of a Vertigo title from the 90’s, a branch of comic titles I enjoyed, like Sandman, Shade the Changing Man and Fables. However, I was not taken in by this comic. I think it was all the hype from friends and geek grandiosity that built up the greatness of this series that left me feeling a bit lack luster in the comic book experience.
Granted, it was a comic book based on the series and not like actually watching the series, so I should cut it some slack. And I did, hence the triple star rating. I think fans of the show would like this, fans of Vertigo titles could like this, and those who like sci-fi and fantasy could like this if they innocently stumbled upon it.
I would have liked it more had I not been primed by the Doctor Who hype over the years. I do recommend it. I may read another story arc to see if my opinion changes.
To start off with, let's talk about the art: Wow! Elena Casagrande nails the art. Her likeness of Tennant, of the TARDIS interior is perfect. She puts so much into each character. The art throughout this is incredibly complex and rich. I've rarely seen a comic look this good unless it was painted by Alex Ross.
The stories are fairly good. Gabby makes a great new companion. She's a likable and interesting character who you can easily relate to. The stories were fairly clever themed. I'd like the first one centering on New York's celebration of the Day of the Dead, and the second one on another planet involving a reclusive artist and her insane assistants. There were some decent concepts, with the second story revisiting the idea of block transfer mathematics from the Fourth and early Fifth Doctor era without seeming too wistful.
The biggest problem is that while Casagrande captures the physical appearance of the Tenth Doctor, Abadzis really struggles that Doctor's unique voice. There are a few parts of the book that are a bit verbose, and I should there are some elements in the second story parents might find problematic. Still, this is a gorgeous book and gives a wonderful new look at Titan's 10th Doctor Title.

The stories themselves in this collection are wonderful. They actually seem like plausible plots from the Who universe and not simply random stories featuring the doctor. Also, I love that this book is hardcover. So much better in terms of collecting and keeping it in good condition
Recommandé pour tous les fans de l'incarnation jouée par David Tennant.
