It’s been a week since missing episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan revealed themselves to the public to great excitement and joy and indeed a Film of Fabulous! screening of said episodes on April 4 sold out near-instantly upon its announcement. We also have news of an ex-Google chief possibly taking the helm at the BBC, The War Between still being MIA from Disney+, the usual Big Finish over-examining, and our feature interview with The Long Game and Pull to Open author Paul Hayes, here to discuss the production of 1956 CBC production Flight Into Danger, starring one James Doohan and produced by future (at the time) Doctor Who producer Sydney Newman! CanCon, baby!

For a fallow Time of Who there sure is a bunch a news to cover including Ncuti “Doctor Who” Gatwa talking about why he left the show (whether we believe him or not is a matter of debate), the BBC maintining its interest in Doctor Who, Mark Gatiss on the dangers of nostalgia, an Emmy nomination for (of all things) “There’s Always a Twist”, the triumphant return of the BBC Shop, Blake’s 7, Big Finish, Paul Cornell’s new comic business venture, and more! Why, it’s as if we aren’t about to enter a Second Wilderness Years!

Comics & Graphic Novels

The Science of Ghosts by Lilah Sturges

Joy is a forensic parapsychologist who wants to use her ability to communicate with ghosts to help solve their own murders. The biggest problem she has isn't getting people to believe in ghosts, it's getting her ex-wife the cop who is really mad about Joy transitioning during their marriage to help.

Part of this story is about a murder Joy has been hired to solve, the rest is about the other murders, and about Joy deciding who she wants to be and what kind of life she wants to live. And she does decide, with love.

Three Little Wishes by Paul Cornell
What would you do with three wishes? What if they came from Oberon? What if you were a lawyer?

Order of the Night Jay: The Forest Beckons by Jonathan Schnapp
Very cute, very cozy, as fantasy comic book camps tend to be. It's nice to sink into a place where everyone is accepted, mysteries can be solved, and days can be saved.

Who Killed Nessie?

Every year, legendary creatures from all over the world gather for an annual convention. But never has there been a murder. Who Killed Nessie?, a new graphic novel by Paul Cornell, the award-winning comics writer, and Rachael Smith, the award-winning comics writer/artist, is a comedy cryptozoological whodunnit about finding confidence through rationality and accepting a world of mysteries… by solving one. "It’s like you dreamed up a comic just for me" - JOE HILL (creator of Locke & Key)
