Doctor Who: The Lost Dimension Book 2

The White Holes are appearing faster, larger, and much closer together, jeopardizing the fabric of reality itself. And strangely, they seem to be happening following the Doctor, personally, throughout time and space. As many of the Doctor’s closest allies become possessed by strange energy, the Doctor races against the clock to track the problem to its source. This means collaborating with his past selves, who aren’t always happy to see him arrive.Don’t try reading this if you haven’t already read Volume One. It’s convoluted, self-reflexive, and contains multiple references to events which occurred in Volume One. But if you’ve already read that book… well, parts of this one will still be pretty confusing. Large chunks of the story feel orphaned, part of somebody else’s story. But I really liked the conclusion, and the way it brought multiple threads back together with minimal waste.Things are worse than they initially appeared: not only are the White Holes swallowing entire planets, they’ve started vomiting up monsters from parallel universes. Ogrons and Krotons, enemies from the classic TV series, are showing greater levels of imagination and aggression than ever before. An impossible settlement of Silurians, kept alive on a distant asteroid, has not only survived, but is now planning to invade Planet Earth, with disastrous consequences.Though the overall story arc brings together every TV version of the Doctor through Number Twelve, it spotlights the Doctors from the renewed series. Of the classic Doctors, only a one-shot featuring the Fourth Doctor and Romana spotlights one from the classic series, and that story serves mainly as background for the others. This story arc is mainly about the Doctor as today’s audience experiences him, and it works best in that context.Most of this story arc focuses on the Doctor, and his interactions with his prior selves. But there’s a story block midway through this volume starring River Song, which seems oddly detached from the overall arc. I’m not entirely sure why it’s here or how it advances the central narrative. Not only does it distract from story momentum, but it’s paced weirdly, with important story revelations buried in small panels. It seems weird.But don’t let my complaining distract you. The central story arc moves briskly, the characters play well, and it comes to a harrowing conclusion. Seeing the Eleventh Doctor trapped in somebody else’s TARDIS, slave to machinations he doesn’t entirely understand, is chilling, and rendered in watercolor tones that underscore how emotionally jarring this must feel. As the story reaches its culmination, this piece is stirring both to read, and to see.Let me underline that: the art is frequently really good. Especially the pages that depict the journey inside the White Hole, which appear to be hand-colored and frequently painted. They utilize comics as a visual medium, teasing out the structural complexity of the franchise’s TV origins. If the writing sometimes lags, the pictures are sweeping, even downright epic. I spent extended time just gazing at my favorite intricate panels.Despite some weaker chapters, I overall enjoyed this take on Doctor Who. The characters are interesting and well-written, the story is fast-pace without appearing rushed (mostly), and the visuals have a monumental scale and panoramic sweep that would be difficult and costly to reproduce on TV. If you want to revisit some of your favorite past Doctors, this is a fun way to do it.

I liked the story marginally better than The Lost Dimension Book One, but the artwork took a dive for the worst. I barely recognized The Fourth Doctor and Romana II. It did get better as the story progressed. I really enjoyed the addition of some of my favorite obscure alien menaces, and River Song always bring a bit of fun to the proceedings. Jenny is still as kickass as ever, and Bill and Nardole are always a fun pairing.

The reason I am giving it five stars is that the storylines of all the Doctors merged to a very interesting end. I'm greatfull for the story as it brought all the Doctors together to defeat the enemy instead of only one Doctor being the hero . Would love to see this storyline come to the television . Highly recommend to all fans of The Doctor and to everyone else who likes great stories

Fun addition to to Whoverse!

It is a mess of a story. So many different events are going on that there's no clear sense of an overall story. The effort to squeeze every character in together is admirable and sometimes delightful. It is worth reading just to see them all, which is the point, but the actual story just does not matter.

I am fan dr. Who . Enjoyed a new way of the series.

Doctor Who – The Lost Dimension collects (in two volumes) the latest team-up/crossover event, this time involving almost everybody in the Time-lord Family except for Susan; even Rassilon gets a look-in. There are special issues and one-shots as well as regular issues from the Doctors who have ongoing series.There are Krotons and Quarks, Cybermen and Silurians – but no Daleks, though the Ogrons get a look-in.Much to my surprise, this was actually a very good story, better than anything, except the Four Doctors, that I have read in the various Titan Doctor Who series.The artwork is variable, due to the wide roster of artists involved, but usually good to very good. The only problems I had was following the flow of the River Song episode, and recognising the Fourth Doctor’s companion – it took 10 pages before her likeness matched her actress’s.And, despite the BBC’s advertising department’s attempt to cover it up, there are the full 13 Doctors present – NOT including the newest one.

I did a quick read of The Lost Dimension Book 2. I enjoyed it very much.

Uno más a la colección. Llegó en excelente estado.

É uma das histórias mais interessantes do mundo do Doctor Who que reune um pouco de tudo para os fãs.

This needs to be a 1 hr special with all the Doctors From David Tennant Peter Capladi Christopher Eccestion and Matt Smith.

Fantastic crossover of Doctors - I only wish this could've happened on TV

A satisfying if slightly rushed conclusion to this multi-Doctor comic event. The art styles do vary as the parts go on, some fairing better than others, but overall it is a visually brilliant story.
