I thought that “The Power of Three” was the best episode so far in this series of Doctor Who. It maintained that great balance of silly and terrifying that the show is known for. There was also a great mystery, which kept the tension going throughout the entire episode. It was also refreshing to finally have an episode of this series set in present day.
As with the previous two episodes, I enjoyed “A Town Called Mercy”; however, it felt too isolated from everything else and added to the detachment that this series is suffering from.
As with the last several issues of Invincible, we gained more information on the time Monster Girl and Robot spent in the Flaxan dimension. In these flashbacks, we see how the many decades of ruling over the Flaxans have strained the relationship between the heroes. Over the years, Robot has spent more time focusing on Flaxan political problems while growing more distant from Monster Girl.
“Robot Jez and Mark on a spaceship!” This was the text that Fanboy Comics Contributor Jake Thomas sent me as soon as he finished watching the newest Doctor Who adventure. The second episode of the new series is aptly named “Dinosaurs on a Spaceship,” as it features a spaceship full of dinosaurs.
