      Captain Jack Harkness ist wieder zurück in Cardiff und wo er ist, ist in der Regel auch das Ende der Welt nicht mehr weit entfernt. Diesmal planen parasitäre Aliens die Erde in einen Kompostklumpen für ihre Brut umzuwandeln. Captain Jack und Torchwood, die Alien-Abwehr-Einrichtung, die außerhalb des Gesetzes und ohne Legitimation der Regierung die Welt vor außerirdischen Angriffen schützt, treten daraufhin an, um wieder mal den Weltuntergang zu verhindern. Captain Jack operiert inzwischen mit seinem neuen Team von der Ice Maiden aus, einem Schiff/Raumschiff voller Alien-Technologie. Aber um die Invasoren stoppen zu können, benötigt er die Hilfe von Gwen Cooper. Die ist allerdings nicht gerade erfreut, als Jack ihr gerade geplantes Camping- Wochenende abschießt. Um das Chaos komplett zu machen, taucht dann noch ein alter Bekannter von Jack auf, mit dem absolut niemand gerechnet hätte ... Torchwood, die kultige Spin-off-Serie von Doctor Who, geht in die nächste Runde. Grandios geschrieben von Superstar John Barrowman (Captain Jack) und seiner Schwester Carole Barrowman, virtuos gezeichnet von Pasquale Qualano. Mit einem Exklusiv-Interview mit Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto Jones aus Torchwood). Diese Reihe spielt nach dem Roman Exodus Code von John und Carole Barrowman.

    • 2017

      Die Alien-Jäger! Torchwood ist die letzte Verteidigungslinie der Erde gegen Gefahren aus dem All und der Zeit. Angeführt wird die geheime, autonom agierende Organisation von dem unsterblichen und unglaublich charmanten Ex-Zeitagenten Jack Harkness. Derzeit sieht sich Torchwood einer Alieninvasion gegenüber. Die Navigatoren – eine außerirdische Rasse, die andere Planeten als Brutplätze nutzt und sie dafür für sich „brauchbar“ macht – hat gerade damit begonnen, die Erde in Kompost zu verwandeln. Aus bislang unerfindlichen Gründen werden sie dabei von der betrügerischen Lady Karina und dem trickreichen, wenngleich ebenfalls sehr charmanten Captain John Hart – dereinst auch Zeitagent und Teilzeitgeliebter von Jack Harkness – unterstützt. Jack und sein Team versuchen verzweifelt, einen Weg zu finden, um die Erde zu retten. Der Schlüssel zum Erfolg scheint dabei in Jacks Vergangenheit und bei einigen früheren Feinden eines gewissen Timelords zu liegen ... Mit einem Vorwort der Autoren John und Carole Barrowman. Diese Reihe spielt nach dem Roman "Exodus Code" von John und Carole Barrowman.

      It starts with a series of unexplained events. Earth tremors across the globe. People being driven insane by their heightened and scrambled senses. And the world is starting to notice - the number one Twitter trend is #TheLoco. Governments and scientists are bewildered and silent. The world needs Torchwood, but there's not much of Torchwood left. Captain Jack has tracked the problem to its source: a village in Peru, where he's uncovered evidence of alien involvement. Back in Cardiff, Gwen Cooper has discovered something lurking inside the Torchwood software - something alien and somehow connected to Jack. If the world is to be restored, she has to warn him - but she's quickly becoming a victim of the madness, too!
