Doctor Who: Fourth Doctor #5

Titan; $3.99

Whovians, this is it! This is the issue you’ve all been waiting for, the shocking conclusion to the “Gaze of the Medusa.” When we last saw our ragtag group of heroes, everything was going wrong. The evil Lady Emily Carstairs had trapped Sarah Jane and Professor Odysseus using the Lamp of Chronos. Meanwhile, the Doctor and Athena were left in 1887 battling giant Scryclopes. As if things couldn’t get any worse, lurking in the shadows was none other than, Medusa! Time was quickly winding down while the threat of being fossilized only increased.

From there things got progressively worse. While Medusa locked her steely gaze on Sarah Jane, she was much less forgiving to Professor Odysseus. Although the Doctor seemed to be at an advantage, the mysterious arrival of a transmat device changed everything. Who’s really behind all the horrors plaguing our heroes, and will they make it out alive? Or will the truth of Medusa shake the earth, and the Doctor, to the core? I guess you’ll have to pick up your issue to find out. This is one story arc conclusion you don’t want to miss!

Gordon Rennie and Emma Beeby have penned an incredible issue, complete with sass, humor, intrigue, and mystery. Basically, all the ingredients needed to make a Doctor Who adventure shine. Coupled with the detailed and breathtaking art of Brian Williamson, makes this one epic comic you can’t afford to miss.
