  1. Miasma Says:

    Yay, a full on Davros rant! Just what the Doctor ordered!

    Long time reader, first time poster but I simply had to say that I’m loving this story. Keep up the great work - it’s massively appreciated! :)

  2. Rich Says:

    Thank you and you’re welcome!

  3. Nathan Says:

    Ohh I love it when Davros has a rant sends a chill down my spine, is the seventh doctor going say his full title as heard in Rememberance of the Daleks ?
    Is Davros’s new hand a homage to Dr No ?
    Hmm I might go and watch Remeberance of the Daleks again :)
    Great Work I always look forward to seeing another scene

  4. Melanie Says:

    I love Glitz’s expression in panel 4!

    And, Grotzis? An actual Whoniverse currency or did you just make it up?

  5. Kelly Says:

    What is Glitz up to? I’m still wondering what sort of mission Mel and Nyssa went on.

    Thanks for the update!

  6. Emery Says:

    Yay for grotzits -which are an actual Whovian currency, though blowed if I can remember where they first turned up -rpolly with Glitz, lol!

    I love this comic. Thank you so much for drawing it, it really lights up my day :D

  7. Heather Says:

    Melanie: So far as I can remember, Glitz is the only one who used the term, but he did indeed refer to “grotzis” in the episodes in which he appeared.

    I love the Davros rant too - I can just hear his voice in my head (the MIchael WIsher voice - nobody else seemed to quite get it right, though Terry Molloy was a close second). I guess this must be set somewhere after Revelation (where his hand was shot off) and before Remembrance (where he was little more than a head in a Dalek casing).

    *cracks whip over RIch* Keep writing. Must … have … more … comic…

  8. Lili Says:

    Yiha! A decent Davros rant, and a little capsule even :D *kisses and hugs Rich senslessly*
    Oh Glitz, what have you done!

  9. Liz Says:

    Hah, this might be my favorite yet. There’s just something awesome about seeing…reading?…a power-crazed megolomaniac announce his universe-takeover plans. Very well-done, very in-character for Davros. I applaud. *claps*

  10. Chris Says:

    Oh, dear…Bad juju for Glitz and the Doc.

    And where’s Eccleston???

  11. Stressfactor Says:

    Oh well done sir! Well done! Love the tag-back to “Genesis of the Daleks” and I too can hear Michael Wisher’s voice in my head (Ahhhhh! Voices in my head! Am I crazy? Pr’olly).

    Looong week at work so seeing a new page bouys my spirits.

  12. Lila Kooks Says:

    Man, Glitz is one greedy guy. And I can see where the Daleks can get all ranty…they get it from Davros. If you want to make this online comic a real one…

    www.createspace.com

    I know I would love this as an actual comic I can read away from my computer….

  13. Hilary Says:

    Thanks, Lila - sadly, the terms of service of most, if not all, POD publishers make printing fanworks illegal.

  14. Gaz Says:

    I loved the Davros bit! A good ol’ rant like usual!

  15. Jim North Says:

    “With this I shall be a god! The Daleks will be the tools of my wrath! WE WILL HAVE UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING!!!”

  16. Lewis Says:

    Just had to LOL @ the 3rd comic panel… looks like Davros the Galactic Toilet :)

    This just gets better and better!

  17. Captain Shade Says:

    Huzzah. Love the referance to Genesis of the Daleks. Made me have to break out my DW DVDs, just to watch it again. And see Davros and his armed Kaled Mk III Travel Machines.

  18. Rich Says:

    Nathan: Yeah, I love those scenes too… “AND THROUGH THE DALEKS I SHALL HAVE THAT POWER!!”
    Hehehehe.. The Doctor spouting his full title is something that needs to kind of happen in a context. It’d be weird if he went into the rant just because Davros squawked off.
    I got Davros’ new hand from an Abslom Daak comic That took place after “Revelation”.

    Melanie: Grotzis are, as others have already mentioned, something he’s always trying to get more of in the series whenever we see him. Some kind of currency.

    Kelly: Mel and Nyssa aren’t on a mission. Mel and Glitz delivered supplies to Terminue where Nyssa works, then he abandoned her there.

    Emery: I think he mentions them when he’s talking to his partner Dibber in “Trial of a Time Lord: The Mysterious Planet”. Thanks!

    Heather: Yup. Don’t remember anyone else using Grotzis in the series. To my memory there have only been three different actors playing Davros. So there’s only one guy you don’t like. Personally my first Davros was Terry Molloy. I didn’t actually get to see Genesis or Destiny until later when PBS played the old reruns. This is supposed to be set after “Remembrance” and I needed a hand so that he could ‘hold the power in his hand’. So I borrowed this idea from the Abslom Daak comics. He did have a torso in his casing in “Remembrance”, though it was covered in wires and things.
    *cowers from beatings* I’ll get to it! I’ll get to it!

    Lili: :D Eep! I’m happily married!

    Liz: *Bows* Thanks!

    Chris: Yup. Eccleston? I think he can be found in Salford, Lancashire. As for the 9th Doctor, he’s in Drax’ TARDIS with K9 and the Celestial Toymaker has lost track of him.

    Stressfactor: Thank you!

    Lila Kooks: It would be nice. But, well… Hilary answered that one.

    Gaz: Hehhe, thanks!

    Jim North: ET CETERA ET CETERA!!!

    Lewis: Heheehe… I had a friend in Tononto who used to add “And WHAT AM I DOING IN AN EGG CUP?” to the end of all of Davros’ lines in “Remembrance”.

    Shade: And to hear him be the first one (chronologically, not in broadcast order) to shout: EXTERMINATE!!!

  19. Nick Says:

    o_O Oh, boy. Davros is going into one of his sqawky rants. This doesn’t bode well for the Doctor.

  20. Jim Says:

    Heh, you took the new hand from a comic? The whole design of the “Emperor Dalek” pod in “Revelation” was based on another comic. Just thought I’d point that out.

  21. Kurt Says:

    God that Davros is off his rocker. Plus the fact every time he comes up with another plot he say Daleks wil be the Supreme beings

  22. Mreen Says:

    Davros has been off his rocker since we met him - to misquote Lois McMaster Bujold (of many Miles Vorkosigan Adventures) “It’s the suave way he wipes off the drool that’s scary.”

    Love to see his rant!

  23. Rich Says:

    Nick: Does anything EVER bode well for the Doctor?

    Jim: Yeah, the old TVcomic thing.. But that Emperor at least had a gunstick and a sucker arm like the others. I don’t use that one as canon of course, since the pre-neutron Daleks are well… nothing like the Kaleds.

    Kurt: Well the WILL!

    Mreen: Ew. That’s pretty gross. Heheheeh

  24. DrkFire666 Says:

    Well, I see that Davros hasn’t lost his touch, and neither has Glitz. He’d better be careful, the Daleks have a habit of disposing of old tools. Well, they have a habit of disposing of everything now don’t they?

  25. Captain Shade Says:

    That and Davros “just giving” a jewel that size away, when it could be used as a weapon focus (or something else) usually means it’s not as it apperes to be. Meaning it’s boobie-trapped, and Glitz will have to reluctantly give it up. As usually happens with his schemes (even when they work)

  26. Dave Says:

    Very nice, as usual. Although I can’t help wishing that this scene had been with 4 instead of 7. Not sure that it would have been better that way, but there’s a pang. Anyway, I am wondering how the Doctor is going to get the universe out of this one. Well, it’s not actually just one, is it? :p

  27. Pheonix Says:

    YEAH!

    Davros rant!!

    :D

  28. Sean Says:

    I remain suspicious about all this.

    Like the Doctor said, the Rani is incredibly intelligent, not to mention more sane than the Master. Why on Earth would she side with the Daleks? They’re just salt and pepper shakers with plungers stuck on their faces.

    And as for Glitz… Well, I can’t say I’m totally shocked, but I’ve got a feeling the Doctor will persuade him to join his side.

    I can’t wait for these characters to encounter the 2nd Doctor…

  29. Lord President of Gallifrey Says:

    What a magnificent story and the picctures are great it would be good if you had some time to colour them in. I await for the end excitiedly

  30. Heather Says:

    Personally, I kind of like the rough sketchy look to these comics. I’ve seen the coloured versions of the first three and while they’re great they lack that organic feeling that the sketch look conveys. If they ever do get coloured, I hope this version will remain available.

  31. Nikki Says:

    Personally, I’d prefer seeing the next part of the story rather than having colored pages.

  32. Laura Says:

    Seconded. Especially if that next part of the story involves Six? *puppy eyes* Oh, I know, patience, patience, they’ll all show up again eventually.

    But yeah, I kind of prefer the roughs. The colors are nice, but I’ve always had a thing for the rough-sketchy look. Bit more movement in it and all.

  33. geck Says:

    ahh doesn’t davros look so happy, look at that smile, now see if he smiled in the tv series, he might have turned up in the new series, you just a happy little meglomaniac arent you, yes you are, yess you areeee *pinches cheeks*

  34. Julia Says:

    oh oh that doesnt sound good

  35. Airie Says:

    The capsule of enormous power! The brilliance of bringing that back drew me into commenting! Holy shit!

  36. Rich Says:

    DrkFire666 - It depends on how useful they think they might be later on. And if they’ve got the ’star of the series’ sign over their heads (rather like the PC light in RPGs), they repeatedly fail to dispose of them.

    Shade - Here’s a scarey thought for you. Given that a lot of these characters were one-offs or only occasinal recurring characters who couldn’t regenerate and were played by retired, dead, or now-nothing-like-they-were-back-then actors who aren’t likely to show up in the new series… and I’m only using the actual tv series for canon… they’re disposable. I could kill off LOTS of these guys. What do you think of that? Hmmmmm? >:D

    Dave - Missing the 4th Doctor, hmmm? I’ll get to him, you’ll see.

    Phoenix - Rah!

    Sean - *whistles innocently and twiddles thumbs*

    Lord President of Gallifrey - If only. But we mere 21st Century humans don’t have access to that kind of technology. However, if that’s an offer of a loan, Lord President….

    Heather - Oh, definately. I like the life I get out of my roughs as well.

    Nikki - Yeah, but wouldn’t BOTH be awsome? I know I wish I could.

    Laura - I’ve had requests for the 4th Doctor and an update on Romana as well. I’m just going to have to go on my own schedule I’m afraid. Whatever is needed to advance the story next. But I will keep your requests in mind. :D

    Geck - I’m sure there was an episode where Davros smiled… Must have been the jarred head in Revelation of the Daleks. When he’s trying to get whatsername to kill her boss. But that rubber mask is a bit limiting to facial expressions.

    Julia - Mwaha ha ha. Sounds nice and EEEEEVIL!

    Airie - Thank you! Thank you very much! I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

  37. Lennie Says:

    I feel like such a geek knowing where the rant comes from… Yay!

  38. Captain Shade Says:

    Well, as devious as that sounds. Even one-offs have their fans, Heck, that’s all Nyssa was supposed to be…(And in Star Wars, Boba Fett).

  39. Liz Says:

    Rich, you fence? That’s awesome!

  40. Liz Says:

    So do I, I mean. I hardly ever find other fencers.

  41. Rich Says:

    Lennie: S’okay, you’re among friends.

    Shade: True… I suppose I could kill off some of the no-longer-with-the-Doctor companions too… hmmm..

    Liz: You been browsing my DA gallery? Yeah, I fenced with a club in Montreal for about 7 years (Foil & Epee). More recently I fenced with a medieval group with a larger, more period style sword, a schlager. Medieval style is much more fun, being able to use offhand weapons and stuff. Sword and dagger, two swords, sword and cloak….

  42. Captain Shade Says:

    As long as it ain’t Nyssa…Do what you want with Mel…LOL

  43. Madison Says:

    One of the few 4th Doctor episodes I have seen. Oh, Seven. You must be canny, for Davros is charmingly demented. Or perhaps just totally demented. But in a really wonderful way!

    Glitz does not quite get the whole “intelligence” thing, does he.

    Also. . . *Epee fencer waves to Liz and Rich*
    …and now I want to learn how to fight with two weapons, though I suppose for the moment the closest I’m going to get is boffing.

  44. geck Says:

    I’m still very excited about One meeting Eight! both looking very spiffy :)

  45. Nikki Says:

    Well Rich, of course both would be fantastic, but I know you haven’t the time to do the coloring and it’s like Christmas every time I check the feed and see an update.

  46. Lisa Says:

    Yanno, I came here for something completely different (which now I can’t remember what it was…) and found a new page! Did I miss the update in the Doctor Who LJ community or am I just lucky?

    Anyways…yay Davros rant!

  47. becki Says:

    I love this comic! It’s’ so good and you’ve got all he doctors and companions just right:D I love you style of drawing! I can’t wait for more pages in this comic. Seriously this is the best Doctor Who comic I’ve ever read, official or unofficial!

  48. Liz Says:

    Yeah, I fund you on Deviantart by accident, actually. I was doiong one of my random searches and stumbled across your Romana. I’m a foilist myself, and I’d like to learn Epee once I’ve mastered Foil. I’ve only been fencing a year, with the Charlotte Fencing Academy. It’s awesome fun, though mideivel reenactment possibly beats that. Maybe.

  49. The Creeping Spleen Says:

    Separated at birth - Davros and Mongomery Burns. :D

  50. Jim Says:

    NAGGING Davros EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

  51. Rich Says:

    Liz: Epee trumps foil for sure. Not so much of the judging rules and stopping the action and all that crap. And I REALLY used to hate the whole ‘right of attack’ stuff. I HIT YOU! YOU’RE DEAD! I DON’T CARE IF I FORGOT TO TAP YOUR BLADE FIRST!
    In this regard, Medieval reenactment fighting beats both. Without so much of the runway rules, you can really outstyle eachother. Circling, faking out with the off weapon, teasing banter…

  52. Liz Says:

    Epee *might* be “*equal* to foil. Anyway, they both beat saber. I mean, come on. All it is is hopping around trying to smack each other with the blade or hit each other in the head with the hilt.

    Midieval sounds really awesome. Wish I could do it, but Im probably way too young. *sad*

  53. Madison Says:

    Epee wins over foil for sheer badassery. Nothing says “I am both crazy and awesome” like giant bruises on your dominant arm and leg.

    And getting toe touches on people is AMAZING.

  54. Rich Says:

    Liz - The SCA only allows it at 18.

    Madison - Spoken like someone who’s never held a schlager. Epees are just kinda… cute.

  55. Liz Says:

    Madison- I get giant bruises without all that crazy bouncing. Seriously, can you guys ever fight a bout with both feet firmly on the ground? *grin* I’ve seen Epee-ists get at least as good 3 feet up, to avoid aforementioned toe touch..

    Rich- Oh, I know I’m too young, never doubted that. It’s just something I’ll have to look forward to, if I can find somewhere around here.

  56. Rich Says:

    Well the SCA is everywhere. Look it up online. You’re bound to find SOMETHING.

  57. Liz Says:

    What’s SCA stand for?

  58. Hilary Says:

    Society for Creative Anachronism - you can find the main site at www.sca.org. There should be a group finder on there somewhere!

  59. Liz Says:

    Thanks a bunch. That looks really awesome.

  60. jim Says:

    I can hear it now, “We will reign supreme!”

  61. jim Says:

    Chorus: “We will reign supreme!”

  62. Spaggyhead Says:

    Davros Nags Like Mad, Usual Claptrap:WE WILL RULE SUPREME
    Uh No You Won’t There Are 2 Docs In The Room

  63. Countess Says:

    Yay fencers! My fencing club is full of DW fans (well 3-4 of us). SCA sounds cool. I’m enjoying this comic, tho it’s taking me forever to get this far. All the comments are great as well, especially for reminders of episodes I haven’t seen for *mumbles a large number* years.

  64. 494alex Says:

    Yay! A decent Davros rant! I can just imagine it! Daleks rule supreme! Unlimited rice pudding!
