Doctor Who: The Lost Dimension Volume Two by Nick Abadzis

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book collects the second half of the Lost Dimension trade.

It starts with the first Lost Dimension special as we find the Fourth Doctor and Romana II encounter problems. This is less significant plot-wise than the previous volumes and doesn't stand up as well, but it does give us a comic book appearance by a pairing we haven't seen in Titan. Overall, their well-drawn and their personality is used enough that I enjoyed it.

The second Lost Dimension special features River Song in her own comic book special. It's a good adventure with plenty of dering-do. How it ties into the Doctor's problem is left for another issue.

The Twelfth Doctor story sees events coming to head as the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS appears. The two doctors team up until things get so out of hand so that a third doctor appears. In the the Omega Issues, we find even more Doctors are required to solve the problem.

This story is pretty good, but has flaws. The solution is a bit silly, while the end of the last book would lead us to believe the Eleventh Doctor's companion Alice would play a far bigger part than the resolution actually does. The resolution itself is something we've seen before in other ways.

Still, despite its flaws, it's a heck of a story. It's a good crossover, that's more focused on making the individual stories count. The art is great throughout. Even if the Destination is the same, the journey ultimately makes this one well worth reading. It's one of the better multiple Doctor stories done in any format.
