IN PRINT GUEST STRIP 5 - JESSE LAX

 Previous Next

And that's the end of that arc. I think we'll be calling it Duel of the Time Lords. But that's still being worked up.

Today's strip is a sequel to Jesse's first strip and brings it right into the continuity of the main strip. If anyone is wondering why the Masters are in a shoe box I suggest watching Planet of Fire. It may also give you a clue as to what the Valeyard is up to. Maybe.

If you want any clues about next year you'll have to settle for me telling you it's half written and that I've been watching Logopolis.

I hope you all caught our Christmas Special  last week. If you didn't then go read all 15 pages right now!

See you all next week. If you miss us before then we'll be loitering on Facebook and Twitter.

IN PRINT EPISODE 41

We've seen something like this before.

Everything's connected. Everything is going to tie together for the 50th in November. We have big plans here at In Print. Speaking of the 50th, you can read my thoughts on the preparations for it over at Kasterborous.

I'm a good bit more excited about The Snowmen. I'm loving the idea of a Doctor who has given up, finally had his fighting spirit beaten out of him. I mean, there's no way it's going to last, but I plan to enjoy it whilst it does. Whilst the 10th Doctor dabbled in it at the beginning of The End of Time I don't think we explored it nearly enough, I'm hopeful that Matt Smith will correct that for us all. The other thing I'm looking forward to is Richard E Grant. Right up until broadcast I'm going to be convincing myself that's he's playing either the Doctor from Scream of the Shalka or on of The Fatal Death Doctors or perhaps, given his history of playing differing versions of the Doctor, The Valeyard himself. I'm almost certainly wrong on all three counts, but I'll enjoy the possibility whilst I can. And if it turns out I'm totally wrong? Well I'll still have Richard E Grant appearing in an episode of Doctor Who. It's a bit of a win/win situation.

We're not sure what's coming to you next week. It may be the conclusion of this particular arc or it might be the Christmas Special itself. We'd be pretty interested to hear what you guys would prefer. Feel free to leave feedback either in the comments section, Twitter or Facebook,

Either way we'll see you again in seven days....

Wasn't it just?

What might have happened if the Master had discovered the Valeyard's little project? It's a good question, but a better one might be why does he keep regenerating?

Obviously I know the answer to that one, but I'd love to hear what you guys think about that...

Anyway, I've been putting it off but at some point I should really tell you what I thought of the Angels take Manhattan:

I didn't hate it, but like anything that has that kind of hype and build up it could never live up to expectations. I don't buy the finality of the whole scenario, Rose was left in a much more isolated situation and she came back. We'll see the Ponds again, just as soon as the Doctor realises he could just hire a car and drive to Manhattan from any other state or pick the Ponds up a few years into their exile.

I still maintain that I would have enjoyed this episode an awful lot more if we hadn't known how it was going to end. Which is why I'm not spilling about the Master or the Continuity Wars.

Anyway....

Hartnell's wig from last week seems to have generated quite a bit of positive response as well as his own twitter account. Don't worry, we haven't seen the last of this particular character (is that the right word, should I say prop?), 2nd Fade and myself have some plans ahead. But before I get onto them I really need to finish writing the Christmas Special for this year, especially given that I received the three of the first few pages in my Inbox this week. They all look fantastic, but you'll need to wait to see them.


In other news it appears a former member of the Who cast and a man very much still involved in the Who community dipped his toe into a certain reality program this week. I don't watch it so I can't really comment. However Jim has taken time to provide us with credits to this weeks strip in homage to the man. Very retro.

However it goes without saying that all of us here at In Print wish him the best of luck in this particular trial. Just watch out for men in black....

I need to go sleep now but before I go there's just enough time to remind you all that we're still on Twitter and Facebook, feel free to follow and like us there.
