Elizabeth Sandifer created Eruditorum Press. She’s not really sure why she did that, and she apologizes for the inconvenience. She currently writes Last War in Albion, a history of the magical war between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison. She used to write TARDIS Eruditorum, a history of Britain told through the lens of a ropey sci-fi series. She also wrote Neoreaction a Basilisk, writes comics these days, and has ADHD so will probably just randomly write some other shit sooner or later. Support Elizabeth on Patreon.

    Of course the properly Doctorish solution to the problem would be to have hidden a gun where the bullies could find it, then to have goaded one of them into shooting her, whereupon they would discover that she had rigged the gun to blow up in his hand.

    After it flew off and killed all his family.

    Lovely as usual, Phil.

    I haven't read this comic, but it sounds very similar to Roger Stern's "The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man." Any idea if that's intentional?

    Calling Gary Russell a "vanguard of mediocrity" is a deep insult to mediocrity.

    At least you're salty to the very end. One would be disappointed with anything else really.

    I have literally no memory of this book. I may have to find it. Of course, we're in the final hour so there's not a ton of point…

    You're still allowed to read and watch and listen to Doctor Who stuff after TARDIS Eruditorum is over!

    I'd like to track it down too. Does anyone know if it's been collected?

    I suspect a missing link.

    No no, when TARDIS Eruditorum ends, Doctor Who ends.

    Luckily it's just going on hold for a while, not ending:

    It's a single issue with a spine; there's nothing to collect. (Even if there was, as the review notes, it was literally the end of IDW's license.)

    It's also available digitally through Comixology and Amazon.

    Actually, I looked out of curiosity, and it seems like the only IDW Doctor Who stuff on Comixology was the Star Trek crossover, probably the same loophole that let them sell it in the UK.

    I got my copy off of the Humble Bundle; I should probably go read something beyond that issue one of these years.

    I'll have to reread this issue. And this time to separate the art from the script.

    Thank you for the reassurance that I didn't miss anything by passing on all their other stuff. I've had bad experiences with licensed comics, and so decided to not even try. Only Paul Cornell convinced me to break that stance.

    (Although of course I do have all the DWM reprints. I adore them. But they're in a category all their own.)

    Yes but near the end, just near the last paragraph of the last post an older version of Phil comes to meet present Phil…
