I am a big fan of Doctor Who and reading the graphic novel of their adventures is always a treat ! Loved the story of this one !

I don’t know why graphic novels from netgalley does not work well with my Kindle. The illustrations were great but the texts were missing. Honestly, I didn’t understand the story. I have no background with Doctor Who so it made it more difficult. As I understand this is a prequel. Anyway, maybe this is really not for me.

Thank you to netgalley and Titan Books for the free ARC copy.

I love this Doctor and was so excited that she got more stories. This was beautifully written and drawn. I loved it. I hope she gets more stories.

I have read quite a few graphic novels and usually, I could find what I was looking for in them. To be honest when I started reading Doctor Who: Origins I did not know it was marked as fourth in order (I somehow missed that info).
In this story, our Doctor is known as The Fugitive Doctor, and right now she's working for a secret organization as something I can call a super spy. Our MC is sent to eliminate people living on Gallifrey, and then we learn that a lot of things I not what they seem - I think this story would make much more sense if I did not read it as a standalone.
When I'm reading a graphic novel I'm looking at the plot, but I'm also looking at style and how it corresponds with the story. In this case, I can say it works rather well and I liked what I got as the drawings were to my liking.
What could be my problem - is that I'm not knowing that much about this story, as I have not read other books, so this could be my problem that I did not have all dots that I could connect here.

so this graphic novel its about the 13 doctor era, if am honest i have not watch this seasons era...but im always in for doctor who.

so for someone who have not seen this season, the story told here is easy to catch, and you get into it really easy, the art is gorgeous, and the story is good. here we see how the doctor is part of an organization, they have to destroy planets by the order of the time lords, but later we see that this planet are more that what we see.

i recomend of course...maybe if i have seen the season of this doctor i would understand more but what a i read is 9/10.

This comic expands on Ruth, the Fugitive Doctor, who is hired to complete special missions for Gallifrey. In this installation, The Doctor is paired with a newbie for her mission and is told that there are colonies who serve as a threat to Gallifrey and need to be “taken care of.” While exploring one such colony, The Doctor realizes that it seems like vital details were left out of the brief and innocent bystanders may be in the crossfire.

I believe that the art style in this comic was fantastic and I enjoyed the story of the mission but I would like to see a little bit more of Ruth’s background revealed in future installments to help me connect to her.

Thank you NetGalley and Titan Comics for the e-arc.

I really wanted to know more about the Fugitive doctor since season 12. So when I saw the comics I was like "I need to read it" and I did. And it was good. I want to know more now. Ruth!Doctor really is a great doctor and the story is fast-paced.
If you want to know more, and dive into the past of this character, this book is for you, because even if it’s another Doctor, it’s still the Doctor. And this one is even more mysterious than the war Doctor. And because of the ending of the book, I can only hope for another volume coming.

So yes, just a good book with one of my favorite characters ever.

The Fugitive Doctor makes her debut in this graphic novel about the Doctor’s early years. She has to explore different worlds where Time Lords are living. However, this mission takes a dark turn that the Doctor isn’t expecting. She must find a way to solve the problems while saving the Time Lords at the same time.

The Fugitive Doctor comes before the First Doctor from the TV series. There was a small cameo from the First Doctor that gave the timeline for when this story takes place. This Doctor had a distinctive personality, who did things her own way, while also holding onto the integrity of the character. It was a good story, but I would have liked to see more about the origins of this version of the Doctor and where she came from.

This was a great Doctor Who graphic novel!

Thank you Titan Comics for providing a digital copy of this book.

Doctor Who: Origins promises a thrilling tale that will give some answers into the mysteries of the Fugitive Doctor and The Division, but unfortunately leaves more questions than answers. During the Thirteenth Doctor's television era, one of the stand out's was the Fugitive Doctor who was brought to life by Jo Martin. Seeing a comic that would shed some light on this character was an exciting idea so I was excited to give this a read but the miniseries did not deliver as I would have liked.

Origins has a lot going for it. The Fugitive Doctor is a delight, the main story was compelling, and the dynamic with her companion Taslo is interesting. However the story felt like it was rushed, and therefore not as fleshed out as it could have been. The graphic novel started with a few random pages including a First Doctor appearance that didn't really add anything to the narrative. This made it feel part of a larger story rather than a satisfying miniseries. While Origins is still a fun read, it left me feeling like I was missing more than I had before reading.

Dr. Who as a woman? Be still my heart. This novel has all of the greatness of the tv series in book form. The graphics are outstanding as is the storyline. I can't wait to share it with all of the youth and adults in my world.

As a big Doctor Who fan I was excited to read this. I was hoping to get more details into this mysterious character but knew it was going to be a long shot. The story was interesting, slightly confusing, and I feel like I missed something important. I think this is a decent story for those fans who enjoy this mystery doctor or fans of the recent series of Doctor Who. It is special to the fandom so I wouldn't recommend this to anyone on the street or even casual fans but it has a place in the collection of other Whovians.

Jo Martin has already stolen my Doctor Who loving hearts. I enjoyed this comic. Getting more of the Fugitive Doctor is exactly what I needed and didn’t know I needed. I knew it. But I didn’t KNOW it. 🤣😹 Any Doctor Who fans could easily enjoy this. And any non fans could use this as a simple starting point. Then hop on into the fandom. It’s bigger on the inside.

An interesting graphic novel with an enjoyable art style. I feel this would be better for fans who have a knowledge of Doctor Who, rather than complete newbies, but it would be enjoyable for anyone

When Ruth (The Fugitive Doctor) was first introduced in the show we were left with so many questions. I wanted to know more about her so when I saw this comic I was excited. This was a chance to delve into her character and this comic do that.

When we meet Ruth in this comic she is basically like a gun for hire, sent out on missions for Gallifrey. But just like her future versions (that we know and love) she hates when innocent lives are threatened or taken. She is partnered with a newbie and sent on a mission to take out a colony that poses threat to Gallifrey. Upon further investigation she realizes that important details were left out of the mission briefing.

I really liked the art style in this comic. Also Alien Time Lords!! Yeah I really liked that. My only issue with this comic was the pacing. Everything happened so quickly that it ended up suffering from lack of character development. I’m really hoping this is going to be a series and we’ll get to see more of Ruth’s story unfold.

This Doctor Who graphic novel ties in Ruth’s story as The Doctor and fills in some of the plot holes left in the show. While it does clear up some of the issues brought about by her addition to the Doctor line up, there are still some gaps left in the storyline.

I was excited to see that Ruth was getting her own full graphic novel but the overall plot left much to be desired. It would have been better to stretch additional stories about Ruth into several volumes rather than just one. She needs much more background than what is crammed into this volume.

I do like the style of illustrations. They are not overly cutesy but not dark and broody either. The art is a light, mid-range style as far as graphic novels go.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and Titan Books (Titan Comics)!

Doctor Who has been and always will be a favourite of mine! These graphic novels add depth to the story, and I can't wait to own the physical copy and read them again and again :D

When I told my girlfriend I had the opportunity to read this as an ARC, she just about lost her mind with excitement, so keeping the details of this under wraps has been a challenge, especially when it’s so great! I’m so glad I can discuss it now, and encourage every Whovian to get a copy yesterday - bit of time travel humour for you there.

The Fugitive Doctor is an icon, bringing together all of my favourite parts from so many eras of Doctor Who. But I have to mention my personal highlight: the aliens. My girlfriend always says I can bond with any alien (she’s right - I have a real soft spot for the Face of Boe, and I am utterly obsessed with Bannakaffalatta). So imagine my JOY at the absolute smörgåsbord of alien friends in this story!

If you, like me, think the franchise is at its best when the Doctor is zooming around and saving aliens, fighting the oppressors, and doing it all in style, then this is the perfect story for you.

"This unique Doctor Who graphic novel brings a fresh take on the beloved time-traveler with a brand-new never-before-seen adventure starring the Fugitive Doctor!

Eisner-nominate writer Jody House (Supergirl, Stranger Things) and fan-favorite artist Roberta Ingranata (Witchblade) return for another spectacular time-traveling adventure which deepens the lore of the Doctor Who universe.

The clandestine Time Lord organization called Division has sent the Doctor to eliminate a threat to Gallifrey. Joined by her new partner, Taslo, they soon discover something amiss. What secret are the Time Lords hiding? And how much danger does it put them in? Discover exactly why the Doctor became hunted by Division and branded a fugitive...

Buy it, read it, then travel back in time to read it for the first time all over again...!"

I love all these inbetween Doctors, the War Doctor, the Fugitive Doctor, who knows what others we'll get!?!

One of my main takeaways from when Ruth was introduced in the show was that there was a lot of background missing from her character. This fun comic fixes that issue by putting this new Doctor in the limelight. It follows Ruth’s work as a sort of gun-for-hire for the Gallifreyan council, but make no mistake, just like the iterations that come after her, she has a distaste for lives being taken, whether they are innocent or otherwise. Ruth is partnered with a fresh trainee and sent to investigate a colony that poses a threat to Gallifrey, however soon she realises that a lot of very pertinent details were left out of her briefing.

Some of my favourite aspects were the fact that this showcased non-human looking regenerations of timelords, which is fun and fresh. The show (for obvious budgetary and logistical reasons) steers clear of very fantastical or alien-looking main characters, but since this is a graphic novel it plays to the strengths of the medium to introduce truly non-human characters without the limitations of cheap CGI. Another part I enjoyed was the, admittedly short, section in which the Doctor has a weeping angel as a companion. Non-human companions is also a concept that I think is so interesting, and since there is a rather popular fan theory that the weeping angels are linked to the time lords at some point in the timeline, I think the dynamic is cool and wish it was explored more.

The only real issues I have is with pacing. As expected from the page count, the plot line is developed rather quickly, leaving not much space for character development or nuance. The betrayal when the true antagonist of the piece is revealed isn’t as impactful as it could have been since we are only given about forty or so pages to connect with the character before the reveal happens. Predictability and pacing aside, the chance to explore Ruth as the Doctor in more depth, and without any other Doctor to overshadow her (as much as I love Jodie’s Doctor) makes this a great read, and makes me hope for more content in the same vein, whether that be through comics/books/audio dramas or even in the actual show.
