Review of In With the Tide by JayPea

This review contains spoilers
In With The Tide has me sold by the first page, this series is just showing itself as a love letter to Who, and what better way to bring together Three's era than having Sarah Jane and Liz together, with the latter calling Three in to help.
Everyone has been, but Three and The Brig especially are written so well I can't help but hear Pertwee and Courtney when I read them.
This issue just perfectly captures that UNIT era charm, jeeps driving through the rain, Three cooking up a gizmo to stop the alien threat, fistfighting aliens, messaging about the climate and nuclear weapons, THE WHOMOBILE SHOWING UP?! The only thing it's missing is Delgado and swapping this Paul guy for Bill Filer.
The art here is also great, I love the effects when Three uses his device, very much reminiscent of the sorts of effects you'd get in his era, and Three looks incredible, his dress sense is just on point.
Again, I'm just loving this series
