Book Review: The Twelfth Doctor: Volume 3-Hyperion

Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor Volume 3 - Hyperion by Robbie Morrison

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Hyperion collects Issues 11-15 of the Twelfth Doctor Comic series.

Issue 11 is a one shot that finds the Doctor and Clara at a Victorian estate where people have been suffering with strange dreams. This is a good story with a nice literary twist, but it wastes some panels on locals discussing Clara's outfit and her getting changed. Might work in a longer story but it doesn't really work or serve a purpose in the story.

Issues 12-15 is a story of the Hyperion Invasion of Earth. The Hyperion make for a truly great and destructive threat to the earth. They make an awesome foe. We're all given several characters to care about. and relate to and that makes it important. The art is well done and capture the scene beautifully.

Probably the best part of both stories is the Doctor. It's probably the biggest improvement from the first volume to this one is that feels like Morrison really has a grasp on who the Doctor is now. The Doctor is funny, clever, brave, and all those things you expect the Doctor but in a distinctly Twelfth Doctor style.

Overall, one of the better collections Titan has put out.
