Did Harry and Hermione have free will for what they did or were their actions fixed in advance? If we can time-travel to save Sirius and Buckbeak, why can't we time-travel to save others? What did Professor Dumbledore know and when did he know it? Did Hermione get younger by all her time-traveling during the school year? Jones answers these and many other questions. He also extensively discusses fans' competing theories of how time travel works in the Prisoner of Azakaban. Also included is a brief introduction to the theories of time and time travel in physics and philosophy that are utilized in science fiction and other time travel stories, along with a bibliography of relevant works.
Do physicists and philosophers think time is real? Is time-travel possible at all? Can we in fact change the past? After finishing this book, you will have a much greater understanding of both J.
Thing is, even people like me have often at least seen clips of the older Doctors, so muc Whether you're a new fan or the Doctor or an old timer, it is a good time to be a fan. In any case, it's an amazing premise, and I'm getting antsy waiting to read how it all ties together. And now, 50 years later, we pay tribute to one of the greatest pop-culture heroes of all time with this special series, Prisoners of Time, which tells an epic adventure featuring all eleven in November 23, I find that I am able to take so much more whimsy, cleverness, and just plain old adventuring if it's drawn sequentially as opposed to acted o So basically all my friends are whovians, and my boyfriend and best friend are "classic" whovians at that. I found this to be an interesting read and recommend it to Harry Potter fans. On the other, he achieves very little.

The 50th anniversary means lots of things like this book are being released. For people like my husband, who introduced me to the show, the old school doctors appearing bring back fond memories of watching the show years ago. For people like me, who only know the recent doctors, well hello older doctors, nice to meet you!

Thing is, even people like me have often at least seen clips of the older Doctors, so much of the art in this book doesn't quite hold up.
As is the case with any collection the styles vary and can feel disorientating. The stories do feel very Whovian, but they're very short and wrapped up way too easily -- even for the Doctor. There are bad guys and sticky situations, of course, but I never really felt the tensions and fears in them the way I'd expect from a Doctor Who adventure. Had I purchased this one, instead of getting it free from the publisher for review I'd have not been disappointed to have paid for it, but it also would not have ended up on my favorite comics list. I am ready for this anniversary and all the memorable moments being rehashed.
This is the first of a collection of comics, five in all I think. They will each focus on a different Dr. For any collector or fan of Dr. Who this is a great kick in the pants start to the series. There is a bad out there that wants to get The Dr. He wants the Dr. He can track the Dr. The artists drawings were well done colorful and detailed the emotions of the story well. I spent extra time just looking at the illustrations.
I look forward to the rest of the series as it is released. Long Live The DR!

This first volume centres on the first three doctors, providing a short story for each and ending on a cliff-hanger, which will no doubt be picked up in volume two.

The look of the book is great, but I had difficulty reading it as the DRM didn't allow me to open the file with Acrobat Reader and I therefore couldn't zoom in to easily read the text, meaning I had to squint to make out the dialogue. But that aside, it was good fun and I hope I'll get chance to read the next volume, too. An enjoyable read and all of the first 3 doctors portrayed as they were in their heyday.
I read a pre-publication of Volume 1 thanks to Net Galley.
Each of the three stories had some interest but the great mystery makes the comic much more fascinating. This is a treat for any Doctor Who fan out there. It helps to have some background in the first 3 doctors to grasp some of the story. I know that I look forward to volume 2. This will be published by Diamond Book in June of Make sure you pic An enjoyable read and all of the first 3 doctors portrayed as they were in their heyday. Make sure you pick it up.
Some graphic violence is in the stories but not much worse than you see on TV these days. Aug 22, Rebecca Wilson rated it liked it Shelves: We found this book in the beach house where we're staying, and of course I couldn't resist. I'm impressed that the writers found such an elegant way of tying the Doctors together, while still allowing them to exist independently.
Dec 14, Steven rated it really liked it Shelves: Pretty good looking forward to seeing where the larger story is going. May 20, Christian Petrie rated it liked it Shelves: When it originally came out, I was tempted to buy each comic. Not sure why I did not. Enough back story, onto the review. Volume 1 of the series cover the 1st to the 3rd Doctors.
As a concept the main story arc may seem familiar, but is a nice setup. Some unknown enemy wants to get back at the Doctor. He does so, by planning to capture his companions. From here each Doctor's story covers a different adventure, that ends with a tie back to the main arc.

This first volume is mixed. Part of it are stories and the art work. I am picky when it comes to comic books. If I don't like the art style, then it puts me off the story. I'm use to the style of John Ridgway and Lee Sullivan. From an artwork standpoint, I don't like the style of the 1st Doctor, but the 2nd and 3rd are done well. To enjoy the stories, I did try to separate the artwork out. For the 1st Doctor, I felt the enemy in it was a bit far fetched to make it to Earth. Seeing the Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki interact was decent.
I did enjoy how the enemy was defeated, mainly because if one is not familiar with Earth you could find yourself in the wrong spot. The 2nd Doctor's story started off interesting. It felt that it carried on with the spirit of the comics from Doctor Who Magazine. But as the story progressed, it did not bring anything exciting in my mind to it.
The next story with the 3rd Doctor started off with an interesting concept. The Doctor having two companions meet up again.

Though this was done in Wages of Sin. It was still a nice setup, but what happens to the Brigadier and the whole alien story just did not interest me. In fact what happens to the Brigadier at the beginning felt forced. For the 4th Doctor I thought it the artwork was good in capturing the Doctor and Leela, but the story just felt off.
It has a good concept of the search for a stolen artifact, but when the Judoon are called it throws the feel of a 4th Doctor off. Yes, it is nice touch to show the Doctor has encountered other aliens before, which is good, but maybe not with the 4th Doctor. Over all there were some nice shout outs that I liked. I enjoyed seeing the Vworp Vworp materialization sound and the appearance of the White Robots, even though it not make since why they were there, but a nice nod to the 2nd Doctor.
Overall not a bad way to start the series. On the other hand if they were not tied to the overall arc, not sure how much I would have read them. Enough to get me curious to see how the story line pans out. Nov 09, Ellie rated it liked it Shelves: Not providing an overall rating because these four interconnected stories are very different and it is hard to decide on something between them.
Each story, from one issue of the monthly comic, has a different artists, but the writing team is the same throughout. Issue 1 of this is definitely the worst story in the volume. The art is occasionally charming but usually too stylized to t This collection of IDW's 50th anniversary Doctor Who comic collects the stories featuring the first four Doctors. The art is occasionally charming but usually too stylized to the point where it's just grotesque, and the writing is just bad and unsuited to the era.
Issue 2 is definitely the best of these four stories. The art is strong with alien environments and peoples depicted beautifully, and the characterization of the Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe is perfect. The story is fairly simple but highly enjoyable.
Prisoner in Time
Recommended reading for all Second Doctor fans. Issue 3 was fine, I guess? The art and writing both were highly unmemorable but it wasn't bad. Recommended if you're reading the whole series through, but don't go out of your way to pick it up. Issue 4 was quite good. The art was good and the story decent, but nothing special. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I was more of a fan of the Fourth Doctor and Leela just as an era of the show.
But then they went "Wait a second, maybe we should actually try for the next one. The shift in quality is actually quite strange. Very little of the overarching plot develops in the first four stories. All we get is that someone mysterious is kidnapping the Doctor's companions from out of his timestream. I think the second volume adds more detail to the overall story arc, but these just feel like standalone stories so I haven't assessed that arc yet. I have to say that I wish IDW had collected this in 2 volumes of 6 issues instead of 3 volumes of 2. They're pretty skinny graphic novels and it feels like they're really trying to suck as much money out of us as possible.

And now, 50 years later, we pay tribute to one of the greatest pop-culture heroes of all time with this special series, which tells an epic adventure featuring all 11 incarnations of the intrepid traveler through time and space known simply as This series is part of this endeavor by IDW Publishing. Since this is the first volume in the series, so we see the first three Doctors William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee each with their own adventures in three different chapters.
Each is connected to the story somehow but it is yet not clear as to what since this only the first edition. The artwork is standard comic styled illustration but the renditions of the Doctors and companions is very well done. The first grandfatherly one, the second weird one and the third James Bond one, all coming alive in all their glory within these pages.
I admit I began watching from Chris Eccleston's episodes so I am yet a but clueless about the classic ones Oh I can't wait for the anniversary episode Apr 07, Eoghann Irving rated it it was ok Shelves: Graphic novels and comic books of movie or television properties are challenging to do well. The first problem they face is a comparison of the visuals to the established look of the characters. It's difficult to do well and there are a lot of examples of it being done very, very badly.

Prisoners of Time Volume 1 is the first part of what is intended to be a big 50th Anniversary story that will feature all 11 Doctors and some of their most popular companions. What that actually means in the case of this first volume is that we get stand alone stories for the first, second and third Doctors.
At the end of which the Doctor's companions mysteriously vanish. It's not a terribly original plot idea but the bigger problem is that what we're actually left with is three very average unconnected stories. In each case they do feel like the sort of thing that Doctor would have been involved in.
But there's very little tension at all. They're simple scenarios featuring previous enemies that are then easily resolved. They certainly don't give me any reason to care about the larger story.

As far as the art is concerned the quality varies significantly. The confident way he waited in the cafeteria line to get a slice of pizza.
