Torchwood Magazine # 1


This first issue has some good interviews with John Barrowman and James Marsters about the awesome reunion of Captain Jack and Captain John at the beginning of Season Two. Barrowman talks about how proud he (rightfully) is about portraying the first bisexual lead character in genre television and Marsters about how this role was the first one he's ever had which required a same-sex kiss. The comic strip has great artwork and an interesting story about Ianto's mentor at Torchwood One, Rupert Hayworth (it has a bit of a hasty conclusion, but that's common with most short comic strips). The more I see of Torchwood Magazine, the more I think that the strips collected in Rift War were the worst of the lot. Finally, there's an odd interview with Naoko Mori (Tosh), where the interview consists solely of random generic questions that could be used with any subject--stuff like "What makes you happy?" "What scares you?" and "What drives you mad?"
