Nearly... Nearly...


Gosh, I am outrageously excited about the advent of series six. On the downside, despite reactivating SWD? with the intention of reviewing the new season story by story, I will in fact be leaving the country after The Impossible Astronaut screens (GODDAMMIT! What are the odds?), to go to Japan in fact, until the second two-parter starts. Unless the intervening episodes will still be on iPlayer I'm not sure if getting reviews up is tenable even after I return... But I'll see what I can do.


In the meantime, enjoy this, from the pen of Rob Davis (...or computer stylus, or whatever real graphic artists use).


Also: SQUEE!!!

Rob Davis

Like Adrian Salmon, Rob Davis has an instantly recognisable, individual style; bold, stylised, expressive and with excellent, economical likenesses. I think it's to DWM's credit that they are open to using a range of artists for the comic strip - the rightly lauded Time of My Life and Will Eisner-style Deep Hereafter are both excellent, and it will be really exciting to (hopefully?) see him have a hand in the Eleventh Doctor's strip adventures.

I haven't managed to get my hands on The Widow's Curse collection, so I haven't read The Immortal Emperor, which this panel is from, but it looks gorgeous and I can't wait to check it out. Have a gander at Rob's blog here.
