Loved it.
They brought in a cool new character and I loved her!
The drawing style of the comic was also really pretty and I enjoyed the one wit the city the most.

I absolutely enjoyed this graphic novel. I loved the art, the storyline and the new companion (Gabriella Gonzalez) even though she was a bit stereotypical in the first few pages just because of her overprotective farther wanting her to stay in the business and not pursue her dreams. But she is different from the companions in the NuWho era.
I felt like the the storylines that featured in this graphic novel were brilliant and one of the storylines introduced new villains called cerebravore, which fed off fear. I also think that these two storylines were a great introduction to Gabriella Gonzalez and I'm looking forward to reading the 2nd volume later on tonight.
I would recommend this for any Doctor Who fan and to those whose favourite Doctor is ten.

Love it, it's everything I want in a Doctor Who story: interesting aliens, a likable companion, and the Doctor being all clever and saving the day. And I adore the art, the artist caught the tenth doctor's likeness perfectly. Paired with the in-character dialogue, it's really as if David Tennant is reprising his role for this comic.

3.5 The artistic style didn't really jell well with me I didn't like it at all. I did like the second book where the companion was drawing stuff. The story was okay, not all that interesting however. The only good thing though was the author seemed to capture Ten very well.

Was war das denn?! Null interessant. Aber es war schön, den zehnten Doktor mal wiederzusehen.

Summary:

What would you do if all the washing machines at your work suddenly spewed out what looked like a magical vortex, leaving nothing but a watery mess behind? Yeah, you'd probably think you hallucinated too.

But when the Doctor shows up, we all know that something is going down – and that humanity will likely need his intervention to make it through.

Review:

We all have a favorite Doctor, right? For me, it will always be the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant for the twin). So obviously, when I realized a graphic novel series was available, I had to dive right in. This way, I can pretend that his run lasts a little longer. Just a bit.

Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Vol. 1: Revolutions of Terror may be a long title, but you have to admit, it does catch your eye. Granted, I never would have guessed that the revolutions of terror were at least partially referring to a laundromat...but that's Doctor Who for you, right?

Revolutions of Terror is a quick and fun read. It introduces us to a new human protagonist – Gabriella Gonzalez, and I must admit, I love her. Her backstory is pretty relatable, as she deals with the familial pressure to do a million things at once (and none of those things are what she wants, of course).

As for the artwork...it's fantastic. Look at that cover! I love those colors. They're, well, fun! But they also fit the overall aesthetic for Doctor Who, so I'm never going to complain about that. The creatures of this plot totally stole the show, though, and when you read it, you'll see why I say that.
I will have to try and get my hands on the rest of this series...and maybe the other graphic novel stories for the other Doctors. We'll see how I feel.

Highlights:
Doctor Who (duh)
Tenth Doctor
Time Travel
Two stories in one
