This is another knockout story from DWM’s run with the 13th Doctor. I have been reading A LOT of 13 books and comics lately and I say with no exaggeration that these Scott Gray comics are the best there are (though the Titan comic range from Jody Houser are also fantastic). Herald of Madness completely understands 13 and her fam, and the staging and blocking of the illustrations makes this run of comics feel far more cinematic than her TV stuff. 13 herself is a lot more nuanced in Herald than we had seen her be up until this point. The stakes are huge and the supporting cast is brilliant. I very much hope that we see the villain as well as the fake-out villain from this story make their return.
