The Slitheen Excursion by Simon Guerrier

The Slitheen Excursion by Simon Guerrier - 256 pages

1500BC - King Actaeus and his subjects live in mortal fear of the awesome gods who have come to visit their kingdom in ancient Greece. Except the Doctor, visiting with university student June, knows they're not gods at all. They're aliens.

For the aliens, it's the perfect holiday - they get to tour the sights of a primitive planet and even take part in local customs. Like gladiatorial games, or hunting down and killing humans who won't be missed.

With June's enthusiastic help, the Doctor soon meets the travel agents behind this deadly package holiday company - his old enemies the Slitheen. But can he bring the Slitheen excursion to an end without endangering more lives? And how are events in ancient Greece linked to a modern-day alien plot to destroy what's left of the Parthenon?

Featuring the Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant.

It was nice to read about a companion that we haven't seen before and she was pretty awesome.  The Tenth Doctor was, as always, beloved.  For fans of both Doctor Who and Science Fiction.  I'd give it 5 stars!

Serenity: Those Left Behind by Joss Whedon

Serenity: Those Left Behind by Joss Whedon, Brett Matthews & Will Conrad - 104 pages

This is a graphic novel that sets up the movie Serenity.  I picked it up to read after reading another staff member's review of it on this blog.  I enjoyed it as a graphic novel.  However, what I really enjoyed was the back history given by Joss Whedon into the Firefly / Serenity universe.

Doctor Who, v.1: The Hypothetical Gentleman

Doctor Who, v. 1: The Hypothetical Gentleman - 104 pages

This comic contains two Doctor Who stories.  The first - The Hypothetical Gentleman - was not very good.  The second - The Doctor and the Nurse - was slightly better.  In both the artwork was offputting.  The characters did not look like them in the tv show.  This is only for Doctor Who super-fans.

The Muppet Show Comic Book by Roger Langridge

The Muppet Show Comic Book by Roger Langridge - 112 pages

This book is set up nearly identical to the way The Muppet Show aired.  It contained several popular skits from the show.  I really enjoyed reading it.
