Torchwood is a British science fiction television programme created by Russell T Davies. A spin-off from the 2005 revival of long-running science fiction programme Doctor Who, Torchwood aired four series between 2006 and 2011. In contrast to Doctor Who, whose target audience includes both adults and children, Torchwood is aimed at an older audience
Review:
I found this at a library book sale. I was actually kind of surprised there were Torchwoood comics (though I probably shouldn't have been.) This was a quick, fun read. The illustrations were very good. The ones of Jack in particular were great. He was instantly recognizable as Captain Jack Harkness. (I'm sure that his iconic coat helped.) Jack and Gwen have such a...strange relationship, but I love seeing them interact. The story was good. Very Torchwood. I like Torchwood at lot, particularly season three. Anyway, the Doctor Who references throughout were great!! And they happened to be referencing one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes. I think Torchwood fans would like this. I had a good time reading it.
