I really like the style of the drawing, and I liked the style of the story, too. The story is not like a hero story, which uses the special power to kill the bad guy. This book is more about a clever doctor, who used his brilliant mind to solve some problems, find the evidence from old time, and defeat the evil.
The book is exciting. I saw that the son of professor was killed, but rebuilt into machines by the DALEKs, and the old man in the hall's wife was kille This graphic novel was interesting. I saw that the son of professor was killed, but rebuilt into machines by the DALEKs, and the old man in the hall's wife was killed, and the gardeners were killed by the robots too. I felt sad about it, and thought the robots are so evil and must be destroyed.
The story didn't move on really fast, but I can remember every little bit in the story. After reading this book, I can't believe such things happened, and can't believe there are actually such terrible machines which use the weak spot in human's heart, and control the human to work for them. But suddenly i thought this might actually happen in real life, too. There are some bad friends, who only use people for their purpose, and while you are not as useful as usual, they put you on the side, and never talked to you again.
So we should read the friend clearly, and not making friends with these kind of people, because we are like tools to them. Also, we shouldn't be the people who use others like they are tools. We should be kind to others, and help our friends indeed. And that's what i think about this novel. Jul 09, Amy Hawthorne rated it really liked it Shelves: I love Doctor Who!
And this graphic novel felt so much like the show it was great. It has the classic Doctor Who tropes like the witty doctor, courageous self sacrificing companions, near escapes, and of course the Daleks! I couldn't give this any lower than 4 stars because it was so well paced and exciting and fun, just because it's small graphic novel doesn't mean it isn't worthy.

The images are clever, well detailed and compelling. The bubble text placement works well. I enjoy history, and appreciate that there is some non-fiction contained in this read. This novel is full of action and uses Dr Who's self deprecating humor. The Dalek Project is definitely one for the fans of Dr. Feb 26, Sassafras rated it liked it Shelves: Anything with Daleks is sure to catch and keep attention, and we know the whole timey-wimey thing can take us anywhere and anywhen.
Without spoilers I cannot give away the locations and times. Let's just say the main action takes place duri Huge Dr. Let's just say the main action takes place during WWI somewhere in Britain. Gotta' stop total annihilation. There are time and space portals involved. There is death, lots of death; we're talking about Daleks! Even my fangirl heart can't figure how all the characters kept in the know about all the key events.

Regardless, the comic version of Matt Smith's Doctor is there and up to his winsome ways. Aug 29, Brandon rated it liked it Shelves: This is the first Doctor Who novel I've read although I've been watching the TV show since the Tom Baker days - off and on - and I intentionally looked for a book that wasn't a retelling of a TV episode so that I could judge it on it's own merits and I think that this Doctor Who adventure belongs in the Whovian cannon.
There was a similar story set during WW2 about the Daleks being used to end the war. This story in this book is set during WW1 and the war doesn't feature as prominently as it did This is the first Doctor Who novel I've read although I've been watching the TV show since the Tom Baker days - off and on - and I intentionally looked for a book that wasn't a retelling of a TV episode so that I could judge it on it's own merits and I think that this Doctor Who adventure belongs in the Whovian cannon. This story in this book is set during WW1 and the war doesn't feature as prominently as it did in the TV show.
Instead the reader is given four companions - all new to this story line - and a time travelling manor that is hiding secrets that the Doctor unravels before facing his sworn enemy. This concept is used well throughout the story with each door of the manor being a portal to some-other place and time giving the doctor - and artist- ample room to play with the time-travelling motif. But the action seems to feel a little rushed and I got the sense that the doctor was running around putting out fires until the Daleks appeared instead of using his superior intellect and devious cunning to outwit his foe.
There was also a lack of the analytical, sciency nature of the doctor with the writer preferring action as a means to drive the narrative. I sure would have liked the story better if the doctor would slow down and talk that science mumbo-jumble that always make me think twice and the TV show so compelling. The art-work though is excellent. The rendering of the Daleks - including a new Proto-Dalek - are spot on and the rendering of Matt Smith - though not exact - is certainly passable.
Every inch of the panel is used throughout the book an the colors are vibrant and eye-catching. This visual aspect is why I chose the comic medium to expand my Doctor Who experience and the artists and colourists do not disappoint. In the end I knocked a few stars because of the pace of the story - too quick - and the fact that the Doctor doesn't play to his strengths - his intellect - but I would recommend this book to Whovians because the story does work and the artwork is top quality.
Feb 10, Virginia rated it liked it. Myself being an extreme "whovian" I had utterly high expectations. At first I became truly interested, this graphic novel had a balance of action and adventure and sci-fi all in one. But It honestly wasn't graphic novel of the year. The animation in this graphic novel is amazing, if you get past small issues: The explosions and colors for the action scenes were great but I thought there were to many explosions. As always Doctor Who kept the scien Myself being an extreme "whovian" I had utterly high expectations. As always Doctor Who kept the science fiction perfectly kept together, we even get to see our main character time travel many times in this book.
The book is perfect even for someone who doesn't watch the show or read the books because everything is explained. I'll be honest though, I don't actually think there ever was a theme or moral. Which isn't the usual for something Doctor Who related, when Doctor Who has a theme it really sinks in, here that didn't happen in the slightest. It actually annoyed me a bit as I read. The symbolism, as always was pretty good.
Doctor Who: The Dalek Project by Justin Richards
Lord Hellecomb, a scientist planning on using a series of dangerous machines to attack the enemy could symbolize a fear so strong that it forces you to do bad yourself, and the Doctor, as always represents the courage and or bravery who stands up to or stops the bad things from happening. I really enjoyed this book, but it wasn't perfect. What else is there to say? It's enjoyable because of the amazing animations and colors, but it's no book of the year.
Originally scheduled for publication in the autumn of , it originally featured the then-current Tenth Doctor. Due to some narrative similarities to the then-in-production Victory of the Daleks , however, its publication was delayed until September — by which time it had to be reworked so as to accommodate the Eleventh Doctor. A stunning new graphic novel, featuring the Doctor as played by Matt Smith. It's the height of the Great War and Hellcombe Hall is a house full of mystery: Most mysterious of all, the drawing-room seems to open directly onto a muddy, corpse-filled trench on the Western Front.
Arriving at this stately home, the Doctor meets Lord Hellcombe , an armaments manufacturer who has a new secret weapon he believes will win the war: Soon, the Doctor and his new friends are in a race against time to prevent the entire Western Front from becoming part of the Dalek Project! Two archaeologists, Jules and Guillaume , uncover a Dalek saucer buried in the ground. They attach a power cable to it to get past the door. However, one of the Daleks inside is revived and attacks the two archaeologists with its manipulator arm. Guillaume is killed, and Jules manages to escape but is put in shock.
Some time later, the Doctor arrives at the dig, claiming to the lead archaeologist, Angela Todd , that it is a " surprise surprise inspection". He learns that the archaeologists are supposedly excavating a Bronze Age burial chamber. Much to his surprise, when he enters one of the tents, he finds that all of the "artefacts" they have uncovered are the rusted components of Dalek casings.
After demanding to see the chamber, the Doctor unlocks the supposed tomb and the archaeologists are shocked to find the room within brimming with extremely advanced technology. Upon a nearby table lies a seemingly-unconscious man, which quickly activates and attacks the group, revealing itself to be merely a robotic Dalek duplicate of an unfortunate captive whose skeletal remains lie beside it.
Shortly after escaping, the group stumbles upon a corridor filled with rusted, damaged Daleks — the Doctor explains that the mutants within the shells are merely dormant, conserving energy until they can find a new power source to power their casings.

No sooner does he say this than the Daleks begin to slowly awaken, and try to destroy the group. The Doctor himself is struck by one of the guns, but survives due to the fact that the barely-active Daleks had yet to amass enough energy for a killing blast. The group manages to escape the Daleks' survival chamber, but much to the Doctor's horror he discovers that one of the archaeologists, Pierre , had been working on a "reconstruction project" using the pieces they had excavated.
Entering Pierre's tent, he finds the man dead, and his semi-accurate reconstruction project on the loose. The Quasimodo Dalek is able to restore power to the Dalek ship from power cables, as reawakened Daleks start attacking the archaeologists. There, he encountered a lone servant, Mary Carter , and — unusually enough — a British soldier, Ted Anderson , who just a few moments before had been fighting in the trenches in North-Eastern France.
The Doctor learns from Mary that there have been strange goings-on in Hellcombe Hall of late: Many of the locked rooms have had unusual noises coming from behind their doors: Gunfire, screaming, machinery, and even what sounds like a giant heartbeat. Most mysterious of all, the drawing room seems to open directly onto a muddy, corpse-filled trench on the Western Front Arriving at this stately home, the Doctor meets Lord Hellcombe, an armaments manufacturer who has a new secret weapon he believes will win the war: Soon, the Doctor and his new friends are in a race against time to prevent the entire Western Front from becoming part of the Dalek Project!
