Station 7 is where the Earth Forces send all the equipment captured in their unceasing war against the Daleks. It's where Dalek technology is analyzed and examined. It's where the Doctor and Amy have just arrived. But somehow the Daleks have found out about Station 7 - and there's something there that they want back! With the Doctor increasingly worried about the direction the Station's research is taking, the commander of Station 7 knows he has only one possible, desperate defense. Because the last terrible secret of Station 7 is that they don't only store captured Dalek technology - it's also a prison. And the only thing that might stop a Dalek is another Dalek! An epic, full-color graphic novel featuring the Doctor and Amy, as played by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television

Having read all the "new" Doctor novels since 2005 and loved 'em all, it was a surprise to find this 11th Doctor GN,and it involves those classic and iconic Bad Guys... The Daleks! It's been a long time since i read a GN,around the time of the star wars prequels,may have been "Revenge of The Sith". What can i say apart from
excellent artwork (of course Mike Collins also works on the strips in DWM)so that's
won me over for a start,then there's the storyline written by Justin Richards,whose
work i'm familiar with on many Doctor Who novels in the past(why is this guy not writing for the T.V Series?)Anyone out there in the known whoniverse who hasn't got a copy I urge you to do so you won't be disappointed.I wont reveal the plot...
...Spoilers...
Now is there chance of a GN About the story of The Eighth Doctor's Regeneration into The Ninth ending with his first encounter with Rose Tyler and the rest as they say.....

"The Only Good Dalek" is set in the explosive midst of the war between humans and the new technicolor Daleks. It really could be the Doctor Who Hollywood-style feature film, in graphic novel format- an epic, action-packed story, illustrated in a filmic big-budget way that the TV series could never afford.
The artwork is stunning and of a very high quality throughout, with some lovely nods to Dalek history. Fans of massive-scale space battles will be especially happy!
The body count is maybe a little high for younger readers, but apart from that any Who fan will love this.

This is an excellent comic containing a hell of a story. I very much like the journey back to Robomen, Ogrons and even the Megnaton. Excellent. But these new Paradigm Daleks? I just don't like them. There form is totally wrong, even if the colours are great. And in a comic you just have to see them all the time, in an ordinary novel you can at least imagine them to be proper Daleks (whichever version). But expecially here, where the story goes back to older, interesting, concepts and monsters, couldn't there also have been made use of an older version of the Daleks?
I have understood the new paradigm was inspired by the movies. I've seen those movies (on DVD recently, as I was a baby when they were first shown) but there the Daleks are, apart from the colours, very much like the serial ones. Oh well, the story was good, they even managed a somewhat cliffhangerish ending although the story proper truly was finished. The art work was fine too. So, 4 stars, and that is only because the Daleks feel wrong!

Having been disappointed with the 'no-show' of The Dalek Project I awaited the release of this graphic novel with a sense of trepidation. Upon receiving this book on its release date I was not let down - a thoroughly entertaining read. The artwork was fantastic and I found the story to be well told. Characterisation amongst the supporting characters was strong (my only criticism would be that the Doctor didn't come across like the 11th incarnation blazing across our TV screens now - I suspect that this book was produced during the very early stages of Matt Smith's tenure when the world yet yet to be graced with his portrayal on scren).
If you're a fan of Doctor Who and someone who enjoys reading graphic novels then I could not recommend this enough.

The story was good, but it wasnt one of my favorites.
The title is what got me in the first place... because you know daleks are not suppose to be good, so the title got me curious. But in the end, the story sort fell flat a bit.
Th style of drawing is fine, but again, it didnt fall into my WOW catégory either.

I like the story, for me it has a lot going for it. The Daleks. The Doctor. Adventure. Very little of Amy. Colour art work. It reads like the well crafted BBC episode. Why Justin Richards has not written a Who episode is beyond me. Good Stuff

This could have been a really great Doctor Who graphic novel if it had only featured the original Daleks - not the new look multi colour oversized toys the BBC are now calling Daleks. They would not look out of place in the Teletubbies.
The Only Good Dalek is obviously written/drawn with the long time Doctor who fan in mind featuring a magneton, a slyther, robomen, ogrons, Space Special Security agents and even a glimpse of a mechonoid. There are some great space battle scenes that have almost been lifted straight out of the pages of one of the old 1960's Dalek Annuals. Why ruin it all with the new look daleks?
