doctor-who-series-six-part-twoBy Silencio Lake, on the plane of Sighs, an impossible astronaut will rise from the deep and strike the Time Lord dead. The two-disc set collects the final six episodes of Series Six including The Doctor (Matt Smith) facing his death at the hands of River Song (Arthur Darvill).

Although the collection doesn’t include a great stand-out episode there are several good episodes including “Let’s Kill Hitler” and “The Wedding of River Song” which wraps up River Song’s story arc and gives us the conclusion of the series cliffhanger. Craig (James Corden) returns for “Closing Time” and Rory (Arthur Darvill) is forced to make an impossible decision in “The Girl Who Waited.” We also get a spooky hotel, and the somewhat less spooky insides of of terrified child’s cupboard.

Even if the extras include only a couple of Monster Files, Part Two a good wrap-up to Series Six and a nice compliment to Part One. Aside from the upcoming Christmas episode it’s the only Doctor Who we’re going to get for awhile.

The All-New Batman: The Brave and the Bold #13

all-new-batman-brave-and-bold-13-coverWith Batman near death the Phantom Stranger assembles Robins throughout time to save the Dark Knight Detective. Dick Grayson (in his original Nightwing costume), Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown, Damian, and Carrie Kelly are all brought together to save their partner.

After some initial in-fighting (including Damian and Steph going at it over whether a girl can actually be Robin) the sidekicks come up with a plan. They will sneak the dying Batman into one of Ra’s al Ghul‘s Lazarus Pits and use it to revive him.

Longtime Batman fans should definitely seek this issue out and pick it up. Aside from being the only comic where you’re going to get this assembly of characters, writer Sholly Fisch and artist Rick Burchett take time to make several references to Batman’s history including “Robin Dies at Dawn.”

The comic ends with a discussion between the Phantom Stranger and Madame Xanadu. Xanadu congratulates the Stranger on the success of his plan but reminds him Robin wasn’t Batman’s only partner. Best of the week.
