Doctor Who Magazine Keeps the Faith in The Wilderness Year [WHO-50—1990]

This decade – and in fact the entire period from 1990-2004 (with a brief holiday in 1996) is often referred to as ‘the Wilderness Years,’ coined by the team who worked on the eternal Doctor Who Magazine during this era and feel the need (quite rightfully) to point out their valiant efforts in maintaining a quality media tie in publication without a regular show to support. For more than a decade.

In truth, the 90’s were full of Doctor Who – just as the Target novelisations came to a natural end, the VHS releases of classic stories took off with a vengeance, bringing new audiences to old stories. The original series of adult New Adventures and Missing Adventures novels began in 1991 and produced an enormous quantity of stories over the next six years, only to be replaced by the similar-but-different BBC Book range of Eighth Doctor Adventures and Past Doctor Adventures which continued well into the new Millennium. There were comics and radio productions (okay not many, but some). Here in Australia we had even Doctor Who repeats on the ABC, often in the crazy early hours, which gave me the opportunity to see some Fifth and Sixth Doctor stories for the first time ever.

So yes, there was a lot happening with Doctor Who in this decade, but a lot of it hadn’t started yet in 1990. I freely admit that this at least was a Wilderness Year, though for many it wasn’t entirely clear that Doctor Who had in fact ended…

I recently received an email from an anonymous fan sharing how she pulled a Hawkeye Initiative themed prank on her CEO to illustrate a problem with some artwork.
My personal compliments to her and her accomplice on a mission well done; they perfectly took the concept of The Hawkeye Initiative one…

The Only Mystery Worth Solving [WHO-50—1989]

Ace also has a lot in common with Clara, the current companion that we are only just beginning to parse – because she wasn’t just a key point of view character for the audience, she was also revealed to be a mystery for the Doctor to solve.

This wasn’t quite true from the start – there was nothing especially mysterious about Ace in her very first story, Dragonfire. Sure, her origin story (I blew up the art room with homemade explosives, caught a passing “time storm” and ended up on another planet) makes no sense at all, but the Doctor did not reveal that he was taking an interest in her for anything other than the usual reason – Mel was moving on, Ace was a chirpy girl who looked like she might be handy to have along on adventures. Job done.
But over the next two years, it became clear that there was a mystery. Indeed, there were two layers of mystery to Ace and her origins.

The Angriest, one of the smartest bloggers about comics that I know, talking about why the upcoming Trinity War sounds kinda stupid…

Johns says: ‘The thing about Wonder Woman and Superman is when their relationship ends, it’s going to end badly. There is no good way for this one to end. And then there’s other concerns. When those two start acting out together, people get nervous. Not because they don’t think they’re heroes, but because they have such incredible power, and who could stop those two?’

How can a relationship between Wonder Woman and Superman end badly? They’re pretty much the two nicest, most honourable people in the entire DC Universe. They’re as good-hearted, honest and level-headed as they come. A break-up between Wonder Woman and Superman would almost certainly be a mature conversation and a hug, not an all-out line-wide conflict requiring the Justice League and Justice League of America to go to war.

This is a textbook example of warping your characters to fit your story, rather than finding your story through your characters. It’s the reason that Justice League is such an awful book at the moment. It is, DC Comics, the reason why we can’t have nice things.
