Revolutions of Terror was the premiere story of Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor comic strip series published in 2014. It debuted the Tenth Doctor's companion, Gabriella 'Gabby' Gonzales.
Summary
Gabriella Gonzalez is stuck in a dead-end job in her family's New York Laundromat, dreaming of college and bigger, better and brighter things.
So when a strange man with an even stranger big blue box barges into her life on the eve of the Day of the Dead celebrations - talking about an infestation of psychic aliens - she seizes her chance for adventure with both hands.
After Donna's tragic exit, the Doctor thought he was done with new companions. But Gabby Gonzalez is going to prove him wrong... if she survives the night!
Plot
The day before Halloween, and the annual Day of the Dead celebration by Mexicans, Gabby is working at her father's laundromat together with her friend, Cindy, when the tumble dryers go haywire. Gabby sees a sort of monster-like shadow coming out of the machines, but they evaporate before her eyes.
Later that day, while Gabby is having an argument with her parents in the kitchen of their restaurant, "The Castillo Mexicano", the Doctor orders some food from her sister. Before he can eat it, he dashes out of the restaurant after receiving a signal on a device of his. Shortly afterwards, Gabby's grandmother claims to have seen her deceased husband's soul writing in agony in a photograph of him. Her future brother-in-law, Hector, also sees a monster.
In the city, while following the signal, the Doctor sees a baby change into a horrific creature, before abruptly reverting to normal when the Doctor's device registers a signal coming from it.
When taking the subway back from accounting class the same evening, a monstrous creature overtakes the subway, and Gabby runs into the Doctor, who takes her hand and pulls out his sonic screwdriver.
