Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Vol. 1: Revolutions of Terror by Nick Abadzis
5.0
Earlier this year, theaters played The End of Time on the big screen, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the end of Ten's run as the Doctor. The screening reminded me powerfully how much I love Ten and how much his stories mean to me. He's a comfort and a balm to my soul, and I put high hopes in this volume to give me something of his splendor again... And I was blissfully not let down.
I started reading it during a family fight, a time when you want to believe the Doctor could show up on your doorstep to take you away from everything. There were moments in this volume when I could hear his voice, the dialogue was that spot-on. Abadzis is so mindful in capturing the Doctor, not just his speech, but specifics to his era––the care in noting his timeline and the people he's lost, AMNN, his humility, and the clincher: his all-show-and-no-tell reaction to Gabby's "no song should end too soon."
All in all, a beautiful volume, splendidly illustrated and thoughtfully written.
