Both feature intelligent protagonists who travel through time and outsmart or outwit their opponents. And they both (usually) wear dapper suits.
But there are differences - and certainly Doctor Who doesn't have a corner on time travel stories.
For instance, Ivar doesn't have a time machine - and he has to deal with his brothers - two immortals who are great fighters but terribly annoying.
And in this story arc, Ivar is trying to prevent a human scientist from discovering the secret of time travel - because if she succeeds, it'll result in the end of - well, everything!
It's a sharp, smart script from the always-reliable Fred Van Lente and strong art by Francis Portela.
It's a nice balance of action, humor and an intelligent story. Fun stuff!
