Review of Card Conundrum by dema1020

25 May 2024

I have to say, so far I am enjoying this comic. It's so creative and fun with each part thus far and really showcases some cool artwork. This part's art was by Giorgia Sposito and their work is outstanding, featuring a lot of detail that really brought the characters to life. The story is framed within the comic of the Doctor looking back on his companions fondly while also remembering with equal reverence how weird their adventures could get. This is quite true of Card Conondrum which is a little bonkers - featuring insects that look like playing cards and when they are grabbed by the TARDIS crew they turn into regular playing cards, and then the aliens want the Doctor to pick a card that will presumably become their Queen. After which, the aliens present the TARDIS out of this sort of cocoon. Yep, that is sufficiently weird which I kind of adored. The world of Doctor Who should be full of weird aliens and strange adventures. There's not exactly a lot of point to this particular comic short but it sure was memorable.
