Welcome to episode 125 of The Oncoming Storm! This week, we're back to McGann and the beginning of the Divergent Universe Arc with the discussion of Scherzo by Rob Shearman. Join Josh and Rachel, as well as special guests Scott Coles from The Legion of Substitute Podcasters and resident comic guru Jeff Polier, as they try to press themselves together hard enough to evolve into a superbeing. Failing that, they just talk about Doctor Who. Oh, but what a discussion. It's the one with all the feels, and Rachel can't wait to cry with you about it! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got... nothing. It's just kinda all white light. Maybe we should all hum a tune together to pass the time.

It's been 2 months since The Oncoming Storm checked in on the Titan comics line, so it's now time to check out the 2nd issues of their new Doctor Who line in episode 124! Your regular hosts Josh and Ashley once again welcome back resident comic expert Jeff to discuss these new comic adventures of the 10th and 11th Doctors. First up in The 10th Doctor #2, The Doctor and new companion Gabby finally find the source of all the spectral happenings in New York: Negative Emotion sucking, ethereal vampire things! And in the 11th Doctor #2, The Doctor and Alice visit one of the Doctor's favorite beautiful planets... an interstellar amusement park?!? Will these second issues hold your hosts' attention like the first issues did, or have Doctor Who comics come back to earth? And can Josh ever get over that Simon Fraser art??? The Oncoming Storm... This time, we got suckery things. Lots and Lots of Suckery things.

Alright, so The Oncoming Storm is back on schedule. For now. And that means as your second episode of this week, you get more Josh, Ashley, and Rachel action as they talk about Strange England, by Simon Messingham. It's a story of the Doctor, Ace, and Benny visiting a quiet Victorian manor house, and the expected hijinks that ensue.  You'll laugh hysterically as people are eaten by trees. You'll coo over the young girl transmogrified into a horrific spider monster. And don't even get us started on the adorable throat crawling winged insects. You'll enjoy it all, or be violently assimilated back into the program! The Oncoming Storm... This time, what we don't have, is a Ashley Williams. He and that chainsaw hand would have really come in handy in this one.

So this episode is a tiny bit late. Unless you're listening to this in the future, where the date doesn't matter one bit. But nevertheless, we're all here now and The Oncoming Storm is ready to talk more Big Finish. This week, up for review is The Wormery by Paul Magrs and Stephen Cole. It's a heartwarming tale of the Sixth Doctor, Iris Wildthyme, and the trouble they stir up in a 1930s Berlin speakeasy. There's German soldiers, a vampy vixen, and all the interstellar wormholes. A typical Doctor Who story then. Join Josh, Ashley, and Rachel as they discuss the sparks that fly with Iris and the Sixth Doctor meet, and do a little Iris 101 for the listeners. The Oncoming Storm... this time, we got talking, telepathic Tequila worms. As one does in Doctor Who.

The Oncoming Storm is... very, very tired. It's been a hard couple of weeks at Oncoming Storm; broken air conditioners, smashed toes, a plethora scheduling issues... the list goes on and on. But never fear, for Josh, Ashley, and Rachel are still here to talk about Doctor Who! The Show must go on! This week sees your hosts brave a dark and stormy night to discuss the last of the Villains Trilogy, Master, by Joseph Lidster.  You'll hear talk about the excellent performances, the connections to the New Adventures, and a rambling off topic discussion into the nature of evil in Doctor Who. It's been a loooooong week. The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got the Master... in Love!

In the halcyon days before Dragon*Con happened and wiped out your Oncoming Storm hosts, Josh, Ashley, and Jeff endeavored to record episode 120 of The Oncoming Storm. This week's topic wasn't just any old comic though. It cuts right to the quick of two of your hosts youth in fandom. This week sees a review of the first ever 8th Doctor comic from Doctor Who Magazine, Endgame by Scott Gray and Alan Barnes. It's well before the BBC Books range starts, so it's one of the first times we see the 8th Doctor since his appearance in that ill fated TV movie. Will this comic recapture the McGann magic? Or will we have to suffer through generic Doctor time? Oh, and the Celestial Toymaker shows up too. The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got were... foxes? Are those foxes? Werewolves don't make sense, it must be foxes... Right?

Alright folks. Everyone at Oncoming Storm HQ is swamped. There are huge upcoming cons, doctor's appointments, and new school years happening. But we don't want to leave you hanging. It's time for a missing (adventure) episode! Well okay. It COULD have been a missing episode. After all, only Josh and Ashley were able to make it this week. So in honor of the old school feel, it's time to look in on the first Missing Adventure, Goth Opera by Paul Cornell. It features the 5th Doctor, Teagan and Nyssa, and a lot of vampires! Join your hosts as we find out if this book can slot seamlessly into the Davison era, or if those radical NA writers are now trying to take over ALL the Doctors! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got a creepy vampire baby. Yeah, that one would have totally gotten by Mary Whitehouse there Paul.

"To hold in my hand a podcast that contains such power, to know that entertainment on such a scale was my choice... To know that the tiny pressure of my thumb, enough to press play, would start the show... Yes, I would do it! That power would set me up above the gods! AND THROUGH THE ONCOMING STORM EPISODE 118, I SHALL HAVE THAT POWER!" Years of research and testing in secret labs have led Josh, Ashley, Rachel, and Sacha to the discussion of Davros by Lance Parkin. The middle story of Big Finish's villain trilogy, this story sees the 6th Doctor compete with Davros for the right to... work for an interstellar corporation?!? What is Davros's plan this time? Where are the Daleks? And can the 6th Doctor make it to work on time? Join the discussion on one of Big Finish's masterpeices. The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got no Daleks! Wait, really? They chose to actually leave the Daleks out of this? Everyone better atch out for flying swine!

Josh, Ashley, Sacha, and Rachel are back in episode 117 of The Oncoming Storm! Or are they? Maybe they just think they are, and they're really ancient beings that have clawed their way back to our universe from the Anti Matter universe. Or maybe they've just been spending too much time thinking about the Big Finish Story Omega, by Nev Fountain. It's the first in a trilogy of stories focusing on some of Doctor Who's most vile villains. What secrets will this story reveal about Gallifrey's most infamous fallen hero? All of this, plus the news coming out of Big Finish's 15th anniversary! The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got Omega action figures. With lifelike ranting action!

While the world eagerly awaits the debut of Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor, The Oncoming Storm is only interested the premieres of David Tennant and Matt Smith! In comic form that is. From Titan Comics. Because they were already seen in comic form, but not from Titan Comics. You know what, forget this whole train of thought. Instead, let's focus on episode 116,  where Josh and Ashley are joined by their partner in Doctor Who comics Jeff to discuss the first issues of the 10th and 11th Doctor comics from Titan. After a relatively disappointing last few years of Doctor Who comics, will this be the renaissance your hosts are hoping for, or will they continue to be disappointed? The Oncoming Storm... This time, we've got two new companions and a giant alien muppet dog! It's as cool as it sounds.
