Major Spoilers Poll of the Week

We are now into week number three of our Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Villain Battle Royale! The Cybermen haven’t made an appearance yet, so now seems like a good time to introduce the silver men and have them take on a formidable foe – the Black Guardian.

Discussion:

Five Weapons: Making the Grade

13-year-old Tyler has a problem. He’s a pacifist enrolled in a school for young assassins. His father is a legendary hitman but, worst of all, he has a secret that can get him killed. Tyler is optimistic because he has a unique weapon that nobody can beat—his razor sharp mind. An adventure that’ll keep you guessing to the very end!
