Bring it on! Jaye Griffiths is fantastic.

I've been curious about this story for decades. Probably the most-anticipated "lost stories" release for me to date.

You can't lose with Veitch and Irons. Classic stuff.

THE COMICS JOURNAL: ‘It can be lazy and gross, but when it works, it feels good’: NYC Small Press with Alexander Laird and Andrew Alexander

I can see a line of reasoning for that, but honestly, most of the best Fifth Doctor stories are Big Finish audios, and the ABSOLUTE BEST Eleventh Doctor stories are, so --- I'd hate to be without those just because their eras are more "complete" on TV.

Still an all-time Top Ten Big Finish release in my estimation.

That being said, there are actually some really good and very deserving Ignatz nominees this year, too, particularly in the "Outstanding Collection" and "Outstanding Minicomic" categories, and not as much thematically-and-aesthetically-interchangeable Silver Sprocket stuff nominated as in years past

According to The Beat, "comparatively more mainstream publishers drew the eye" of Ignatz judges this year, given that Dark Horse and Distillery both got nominations. Guess they haven't noticed that they've been nominating crap from Dark Horse, Image, and Boom Studio for years now.
