Stunning, imaginative storytelling
Well. Finally got my grubby little protuberances on this latest in the series of reprinted Doctor Who Magazine comics, and this has to be the strongest yet. I can't recommend it enough! Everyone involved in its reprinting deserves congratulation.

The artwork looks immaculate and stunning in crisp black and white - so much more atmospheric than the horrible colour job from the 80s. And the story 'Voyager' itself is an absolute masterpiece - grand, mythic, and illusorily dreamlike, it really puts to shame all those reviewers who've praised the scope of Russell T Davies' imagination; this is the real deal. Worth the entry fee alone - which is just as well, as the last third of the collection suffers a noticeable drop in quality with the departure of writer Steve Parkhouse. The remaining stories are generic, reheated `sci-fi escapades,' but, oh well; they're more than compensated by the earlier stories.

If only more of Doctor Who, in all its varied media, could be brave enough to embrace stories so huge and strange and fairytale! It's also particularly nice for such a story to feature the overlooked Sixth Doctor.

Gorgeous - despite a decline in quality towards the end. Long may the comics continue to be reprinted - not only is there the whole Seventh Doctor's era to go, but the whole first half of the 90s to boot!
