HOLY CRAP

So I was reading Angel: After The Fall #1, which is a really good comic by-the-way, I usually hate the Buffyverse comics but, surprise surprise, the recent ones that were actually written by Joss Whedon have actually been able to recreate the feel of the show, whereas the old ones were just a bunch of ackwardly forced dialogue with more ackward positioning of characters in the ackward fight scenes that cause the ackward story to drag. Ackwardly.

This isn't about Angel comics. I'll start again.

So I was reading this comic, the exact one doesn't matter, and I was sort of idlying flipping through the ads in the back, and all of the sudden BAM!



Which is a much bigger deal to me than most people because I am a rabid Doctor Who nerd, and I love Tennants incarnation of him. The 7-whatever page comics in Doctor Who magazine are a joy, so I'm sure longer stories will be even more welcome. And as I'm getting all excited, I notice

THAT'S RIGHT NOW! This happened under my nose and I somehow missed it. How did that happen? I've even seen all the episodes of Sarah Jane Adventures. As both a comic-nerd and a Doctor Who nerd I should have been blathering on about this for months before it came out. And here I am, sitting at my computer typing this and I still haven't read it and other people have and it's driving me nerd crazy. So I did what any nerd would do in this situation.

I blogged.

Edit: And the blog just kept on blogging.

So I looked into it and the comic doesn't physically exist yet, so I suppose I can be forgiven for not owning it then. I did manage to scare up a preview:


The other four pages are here. The preview didn't dazzle me, the writing is kind of dry and mediocre, but hardly anything happened yet. This isn't a 7-pager where they have to start in media res. I'm willing to give anything with "Doctor Who" written on it the benefit of any doubt.

Also it looks like they've got a rather broad Doctor Who liscence, since they're also doing Tom Baker era stuff. It looked marginally better. These people also publish Star Trek comics apparently. It's a good thing they somehow got the Angel liscence from Dark Horse because otherwise I'd never have heard of them.
