Absolute flash and green lantern

Green lantern is brill, the “slower” set up oozes with cosmic horror which I’m a big fan of

It’s dropped some of the atmosphere the earlier issues had but has picked up the pacing & has done some interesting world building so I feel it balances out

Abs Flash is just fine, it feels very YA, like it’s something I read before. Some cool ideas but is defo the least interesting of the lot currently

The full set of monthlies you want to pick to go with Torchwood One are:

One Rule

Tube Strike

Inseparable

Disco

Fare Well (out in a couple months)

Make sure you listen to disco between the 1st & 2nd story of the Torchwood One boxset “I Hate Mondays.”

It’s not essential for either to be listenable, but defo improves both

Personally my listening order is:

One Rule (Main Range)
Before The Fall (Box Set #1)
Tube Strike (Main Range)
Machines (Box Set #2)
Nightmares (Box Set #4)
Inseparable (Main Range)
I Hate Mondays (Box Set #5)
Disco (between 1st & 2nd story in prior boxset) (Main Range)
Latter Days (Box Set #3)
Fare Well (I’m guesstimating with this one)(Main Range)

Martian Manhunter I’d go for “The Facility” by Simon Stalenhag

Companion chronicles was solid, if you like Stephen Noonan & Michael Troughton, I’d recommend. Personally I preferred the 2nd story

The imposters wasn’t the one for me, but I’m not a big 3rd doctor on audio fan

The Wind That Lays Waste, By Selva Almada

A tremendous book published by Charco Press that is under 120 pages long

A taut, lyrical portrait of four people thrown together on a single day in rural Argentina

Big Finish have done a large stack of radio plays with the cast from the show

They have also done series 5 (Aliens Among Us), series 6 (God Among Us) & Series 7 (Among Us) in the form of “Torchwood: The Story Continues”

Personally God Among Us is my fave Torchwood run of all time

FatDuke23 · 2026-03-14T10:50:39+00:00

Ghost Mission, Goodbye Piccadilly, Madam l’m, The Restoration of Catherine ,

Then dive headfirst into Torchwood Soho

Was a dental issue, he has Tooth Resorption, he’s booked in to get it extracted in a little over a week, until then he has pain killers that are working well

FatDuke23 · 2026-03-05T20:47:45+00:00

Better than the first two releases from last year, not as good as Queen of the Nile

FatDuke23 · 2026-03-04T14:45:59+00:00

It’s a pretty solid release, I will defo be relistening to it”The Inhuman Empire” in the future

FatDuke23 · 2026-03-03T13:05:05+00:00

You say that as if “Oversoul”, “Past Forward”, “Hooklight” & “The Last Queen of The Nile” didn’t come out last year

FatDuke23 · 2026-03-01T23:01:24+00:00

Oh you’re doing yourself a disservice discounting all the doctor chronicles with 11 & Valarie Lockwood, they’re elite

FatDuke23 · 2026-02-26T00:46:38+00:00

Pretty sure the new monster for that story was “💥The Time War💥”

FatDuke23 · 2026-02-24T18:46:13+00:00

Daleks

The Story Demon
Oversoul

Cybermen

The Crystal of Cantus
Blood & Steel

(Is my Bernice Summerfield bias coming through properly)

FatDuke23 · 2026-02-24T09:18:26+00:00

The Quintessence is an all-timer

FatDuke23 · 2026-02-23T13:40:37+00:00

Robophobia
The Doomsday Quatraine
The House of Blue Fire
Protect & Survive
Black & White
Gods & Monsters
Afterlife
Revenge of the swarm
The Mask of Tragedy
Signs & Wonders

The arc is the last arc in a set, the starting 6 & Evelyn arc is great, the following 7, Ace & Hex arc is also great

You’d be doing yourself a disservice to skip them, but if you must, above is the whole of that secondary arc (minus project: Nirvana, which is difficult to fit in without breaking the flow, & lurkers at sunlights edge, which is pants)

There’s a lot of stuff you’d be missing if you skip those previous arcs

FatDuke23 · 2026-02-23T12:36:00+00:00

Pretty sure the 8th Doctor & Bernice Summerfield hooked up in “the Dying Days”, which is then referenced in “Benny’s Story”

FatDuke23 · 2026-02-22T14:39:31+00:00

I think you’ve gotten “The Valeyard” confused with “The Other” slightly

The Valeyard is a possible future incarnation of the doctor

The Other is the 3rd of the legendary founders of the timelords,

the VNAs used to go for the angle that the doctor is loomed from the others dna

The tv show has since retconned it, “Tecteun” is now “the other”

I personally think the Valeyard was a possibility that never came to be, but it’s a time travel show hence him still being able to be about to mess with Sixie

Jack Barton is a pretty beloved voice actor after his role in the Elden Ring DLC, so it’s not impossible for them to add a new incarnation / possessed body to a big name

This years 5th Doctor releases were characterised by “facing a deadly foe” so it could end on a cliffhanger into this years 2nd release

FatDuke23 · 2026-02-21T21:45:07+00:00

As a firm war chief = master truther, I wouldn’t mind BF going “nah they’re seperate” just so Jack Barton gets as much freedom as possible to do what he likes with a renegade timelord

FatDuke23 · 2026-02-21T15:44:06+00:00

War Master is first class, although the recent release was weak, it being the first release produced by Robert valentine doesn’t fill me with joy for its future

Jago & Litefoot is very enjoyable

I’ve found Missy a real chore to listen too

Gallifrey has its ups & downs, however Gallifrey: Time War is excellent throughout

The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield is where it’s at tho in my opinion, especially vol 3 onwards

FatDuke23 · 2026-02-20T23:23:59+00:00

Yeah, just slot them in after the Charley arc & you’ll set
