Review of Invasion of the Mindmorphs by JayPea

7 February 2025

This review contains spoilers!

Was this a good story? Ehhhh. Was it fun as all hell? Absolutely!

A fun, little, somewhat meta story about the power of comic books and creativity. I love these stories where we can just have a little bit of fun with The Doctor without world ending stakes. Okay sure we do get bigger stakes towards the end of the first issue, but even then it feels disconnected enough from reality and that, that it all still feels very fun. I mean they win the day with the power of love and imaginary gorillas (among other things), how can you not love that?

Not really a review thing, but I do wonder if this story was originally meant to take the place of Playing House. There's a comment in the story about Time Surgeon #24 being due, and if this were taking the place of Playing House, it'd be the 24th issue of the Twelfth Doctor comics.

Whatever the case, this second year of Twelfth Doctor comics doesn't exactly go out with a bang, but honestly, I like it this, aiming for something fun rather than big and bombastic is just a nice change from every other year's finales.
